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…

[Bild] 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?

[Bild] JQ331: Are there other technical issues I’ll face trying to allow users to make their posts long wiki-pages? While not a technical issue, if you start to come up with features you would like to have added for wiki post you will run into the Discourse use cases, e.g. Wiki improvement – …

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.

[Bild] EricGT: There is a 32000 character limit to the length of a post That’s the default value, but you can easily change it via site settings if you need to. [Bild] EricGT: Also if you are using DiscoTOC with the page and it is long, expect the table of contents to take a few seconds …

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…

[Bild] JQ331: Are there other technical issues I’ll face trying to allow users to make their posts long wiki-pages? Have you read 32,000 characters? I don’t consider that a “limitation” per se. Wikipedia:Article size This page contains an overview of the key issues concerning ar…

I think it depends how big these “wikis” get. If they are lightweight simple affairs liberally mixed with some discussion, then probably OK. If they are massive one million word novellas in an effort to rebuild wikipedia from scratch, then probably not.

Ha. We’ll put the potential problem of “massive one million word novellas” into the bucket of “we’ll deal with that one when get there” type of problems… So not massive posts, but probably posts of “moderate” wikipedia length, perhaps like this one . From the basics that I can see–the ability to all…
