Imagine a user posts a very small text and then converts it to wiki appealing everyone to contribute. Afterwards someone makes a very important and huge contribution! Though the “author” of the post is the first author, at least according the Discourse avatar.
It would be more fair and clear, according to me, that in case of wiki, another logo would appear.
I don’t agree with changing the topic creator based on content length.
But I can see where adding them to frequent posters (or something similar) would be nice
We have this situation on our site. We’ve created a special user that’s named after the site, and use the Transfer Ownership admin tool on well-developed wiki articles.
Ultimately, I’d like to see some custom display settings for “Wiki Categories” including “Always go to first post” and “Suppres author info for first post”
@techapj can you add to your list, I want to make change ownership also work via the post wrench menu, not just the topic wrench. It should work in both places, post if you want to change just one, topic if you want to change a bunch.
