Any way of split a post / reply in two?
Sometimes, I need divide the first post in two for become the first post in wiki and hold the content of the first post as reply of this.
My actual “solution” is make a new thread and move the posts, but this method make a new thread with a new url…
Other way for “split” a post or insert a reply before other?

Mucking with a topics sequence would lead to all sorts of severe issues … links in the wild to post #77 will now point at a completely different post.
There is no way to do this, I would simply make the first post wiki and then insert a post at the end of the topic with the info you hijacked out and reassign ownership if you must.
