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 decided to remove bumping on all edits, instead of, for example, preventing it on small changes, similar to how small edits aren’t tracked within the editing grace period.
So I just try to find workarounds for the side effects of that change.
We encourage users to edit their posts to add new information instead of replying again. But who will notice the new information if that no longer bumps the topic?
Anything based on notifications won’t help for visitors. To receive notifications, you need to be logged in. To see a topic at the top of latest, this wasn’t necessary.
So I guess I need a reply or, better, a small action post announcing the fact that there was an edit. I know staff can bump a topic, but that doesn’t help on edits by users. So maybe I need a bump option for regular users.
Create reply when editing wiki would also fix the issue for wiki edits. But on wikis that are edited often, this could mean lots of replies that are only helpful as long as they are the last post. No one is interested in the 50 posts that are notifications of wiki edits 2 years ago.
So I don’t think this is a feature request. I don’t have a solution. I have a problem because the solution I had was removed.
