Hello guys,  
We want to use the Wiki / FAQ option.  
But when we press on that entry where get the following error page:

 ![Bildschirmfoto 2024-12-19 um 11.10.49](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/d/8/2/d82f6ac63797bb2910a668755b8d2aed07c5b32a.png)

Which means, this site does not exist or is private.

What did I do wrong that we lost the FAQ / Wiki?

Do I need to install a Plugin to get it work?

How can I set it up that it will forward to the internal FAQ / Wiki area in our discourse?

Thanks in advance,  
Cheers

Did you fill in the info about your company when you setup your forum?

Welcome to Meta 👋

I am not sure I understand what you intent to do. I see you have added a link to the sidebar and you say it doesn’t work. Could you share the configuration of that link?  
Is your FAQ/Wiki area a category?

Hello Moin,  
I did not set up anything. This was given after starting Discourse.  
Where can I configure that link so I can show it to you?  
Because we don’t have a Wiki yet we also don’t have a category.  
But we thought about creating a category and naming it Wiki. But I don’t know how to link it to the FAQ / Wiki button.

Apart from that we thought using the integrated FAQ / Wiki area from Discourse would be a better fit than creating a category.

You can add links to that section by clicking “more” and “customize this section.”

I still do not understand which integrated wiki area you are referring to. Every post can be a wiki, and I don’t think there is any default area for them. There is a category setting to make the first posts of a topic a wiki automatically when they are created. [Configuring wiki settings](https://meta.discourse.org/t/configuring-wiki-settings/30802)

@NateDhaliwal’s question was related to /faq ([Guidelines - Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/faq)), which is only created after entering a company name. Is that what you mean by FAQ area?

Thank you very much Moin 🙂 you are our hero.

One Question, how can I get this square look? And is this for top-category or also for sub categories?

You can edit the `desktop category page style` to edit the style of your /categories page.

Here is the guide for subcategory boxes at the top of a category
