I have a wiki post with 10+ mentions in it (it’s a “who does what” list).
Sadly users with a Trust Level of 1 or 2 can’t save it after having edited it:
They can edit it, but when clicking “save” they get an error about not having the right to mention 10+ users in a post.
I think this is a bug: they did not mentionned 10+ users, the mentions were already here.
But that check knows only what the whole message looks like not just what change the last edit was. I’d say that having a wiki edit somehow test only the changes made in the most recent edit would be a feature request. That seems . . . complicated.
The best work-around I can think of is to up the max mentions per post to a really big number and hope that no one behaves badly.
A worse one is using just the username with no @ or quoting @username , which is pretty ugly since you’ve now lost the beauty of mentions.
Another very handy workaround is to simply not use mentions in the post:
@pfaffman
@pfaffman
Jay Pfaffman
Arguably they are more handy in a wiki like scenario anyway, you are being deliberate this is not attempting to mention people.
Oh, the 3rd one with the full name, did you constructed it manually like by typing [Julien Palard](https://meta.discourse.org/u/julien_palard) ?
(If I get the other correctly, the first one is a regular mention while the 2nd is an inline literal like `@pfaffman`?)
And if I understand correctly only the 1rst counts as a mention?
nope, not a mention, that’s the raw:
