For several years the reply to “How do I ensure a wiki post is bumped when it’s edited?” was to close the topic to prevent replies and delete all replies below the wiki. Then edits on the wiki post were edits on the last post and edits on the last post meant that the topic was bumped. […

This sounds like a feature request. How would you like Discourse to notify about wiki edits? Wikis are already special so maybe we need a new site setting to enable wiki edit notifications and a user pref about when to be notified about them.

If I had a great idea, I would have created a feature request or replied to one of the many existing ones. I’d take bumping back. But I don’t think it’s helpful to ask for a feature that was removed. I understand that it can be annoying for small typos. But I guess there were reasons why you decid…

I like the idea of a small action post upon editing. But agree that will create clutter. Maybe they could be hidden behind a link to hide/show them? When you and your members edit wikis, do you add a note to explain the edit reason? That could go in the small action post.

[imagen] Moin: I have a problem because the solution I had was removed. Can we get a little deeper into defining the problem? To begin with, who needs to know when a given wiki post is edited? What do you expect them to do when they see that a wiki post was edited?

Every users who are interested in that topoc. And they would like to read new info. That was the main reason why I dropped all wikis in my forum.

OK, gotcha. Here’s what I’m understanding: For wiki posts, signaling to the community as a whole that a post had recently been edited is helpful for two reasons: It helps distribute the responsibility of reviewing changes, to ensure their accuracy. it helps show that they are up to date For con…

[imagen] mcwumbly: For the wiki one, I think it needs a bit more discussion, but I’ll share some hot takes. I think instead of discouraging replies on topics, we should encourage them I actually like that the wiki topic doesn’t have replies because whenever I click the topic, I am taken to th…

[imagen] Moin: I actually like that the wiki topic doesn’t have replies Yeah, I understand that. This is the kind of thing I was hinting at here: [imagen] mcwumbly: We’ve talked about how replies should be displayed on wiki and documentation topics, so maybe that’d deserve another look. …

[imagen] mcwumbly: We will need to think about how best to address them, given the removal of the bump on edit behavior. Out of curiosity, what’s the rationale behind this change? If it’s mainly to prevent typos/insignificant edits bumping a topic, could it be scoped to handle just those and…
