This has come up many, many times before. Best option here is to immediately close the wiki topic and delete the “closed” small post. Then the wiki will be the latest post and all edits will cause timestamp bumps.

This idea was discussed previously, but has not been implemented at this time:

> [@Edits to Wikis with Replies Should Cause Timestamp Change / Post Shown as Updated](https://meta.discourse.org/t/edits-to-wikis-with-replies-should-cause-timestamp-change-post-shown-as-updated/52700/4):
>
> What I really want is a “special” wiki mode where every edit on the OP generates a “system” message on the topic linking to the diff that was made. It would make public wikis much more interesting cause you could more easily discuss changes and so on.
