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…

Categories have a setting to make new posts as wiki posts. I use it extensively. I don’t use “wiki-style url linking”, just normal Discourse linking.

[图片] EricGT: many would rather leave a comment about a needed edit rather than just making the edit. I wonder if that would improve if wiki posts had the user who first posted it hidden. I feel uncomfortable editing someone else’s post when it has their name attached to it.

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?

[图片] 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?

[图片] 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 – Sp…

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.
