As I understand, right now, a topic creator can convert their topic into a wiki. This is a really cool feature.

It looks like if a post becomes a wiki, then anybody on the forum can edit it. Is there a way for a topic creator to limit the editors of that topic to just the users they invite?

The idea here is that in my forum there could be a post that a few people and I are collaborating on–we want to be able to edit it jointly, but don’t want to open up editing to anyone on the forum.

AFAIK permissions only work on categories, so you’d have to set up a dedicated category limiting access for creating posts to specific users, then allowing others to either only read or reply. (Or do neither if you want to later move the topic somewhere else once it’s done.)
