Hi. I’m looking to build a wiki that users can control, and I’d like to use Discourse to do that. The best way I can see to do it is just to allow users to create a “wiki page” by creating a new wiki-fied discourse post, and that single post will serve as the full wiki page. *Is that in fact the be…

[圖片] tomtjes: I wonder if that would improve if wiki posts had the user who first posted it hidden. An admin can change the ownership of a post so I tried this and this is what I learned. As an admin I can change the ownership of all post in a topic. Can I change the owner of a post? As an …

Here’s some practical advice was a wiki editor of some years: no wiki makes sense to everyone, so you have to explain it somewhere. Where you explain, encourage the behavior you want. Collaboration requires manual gardening, and that includes encouragement. For Discourse I encourage folks to be bol…

Thanks for all the replies here. So, for the question of whether it is ok to have a single discourse post become a full wikipage–meaning it can get very long, many users can contribute, and it can stay open for a long time–sounds like that should be fine, is that right?

[圖片] JQ331: it can get very long There is a 32000 character limit to the length of a post. Also if you are using DiscoTOC with the page and it is long, expect the table of contents to take a few seconds to render.

Thanks, that’s the exact kind of detail that’s very helpful to hear. I wasn’t aware of those limitations, and they are pretty serious for my use case. Are there other technical issues I’ll face trying to allow users to make their posts long wiki-pages?

Thanks. Yes, that is probably the underlying concern. Discourse has so much going for it–the clean interface, so much great functionality, easy implementation, etc. But ultimately it is for forums, not wiki articles. So even if there are workarounds to get close to wiki-like functionality, there’s a…

If you watch the video presentations given by Jeff you will see that he is one who will listen and is open to change but you have to make a very effective case. That is a route you may not have considered.

Seems like there are some different views here. So it would be helpful to hear from the team on this: Do you expect it will work fine to use Discourse to set up a wiki site? The method being to allow users to set up “wiki pages”–in the form of users creating wiki-fied posts. (The reason to try thi…

虽然这不是一个技术问题，但如果你开始提出希望为维基帖子添加的功能，你将会遇到 Discourse 的使用场景问题，例如维基改进 – 将内容拆分为多个部分？
