**Summary:**

When mentioning users in a wiki post edit, the notifications received by those users comes from the original post author, not the user who made the edit.

**Steps to reproduce:**

1. User A creates a topic
2. Moderator Z makes it a wiki post
3. User B edits the post mentioning `@User_C`

**Expected Results:**

User C receives a notification that User B mentioned him/her in a post

**Actual Results:**

User C receives a notification that User A mentioned him/her in a post.
