Hi, I did try searching for an answer to this one but came across specs and feature requests that were quite old, so my apologies in advance if this has already been asked. If I was to create a category with restricted permissions, e.g. only admins can create/reply but everyone can view, and were …

Hi Erlend, Aha, so, in the case of already have some regular users which can do this, I wouldn’t want to really increase that level, as they would then not be able to continue updating what they do. But obviously, these, let’s say “official” wikis we cannot restrict via the category permissions. I…

I dont remember if it was wiki related but I do recall a setting about the number of tags that could be used in a post. This had a limit of 10 by default I think. Not sure if it is related, just chirping in.
