In the past I made a request that an edit to a wiki posted bumped the topic to show at the top of the topic list, because otherwise wiki edits would be easily missed and go by unnoticed.

(See: [Should an edit to any wiki post bump the entire topic?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/should-an-edit-to-any-wiki-post-bump-the-entire-topic/104228))

That feature request was not honored. But there was a trick to get a similar result:

- Make sure that the wiki post is the last message posted in the topic thread.
- Lock the topic thread so that no further replies can be added.
- Delete the notification on locking the thread, so that the wiki post comes last again.

Though a bit unwieldy, requiring staff interaction, this used to worked. But in `2026.11.0-latest` no longer.

On [Social coding commons](https://coding.social) forum I maintain the backlog for fediverse-related [Delightful commons](https://delightful.coding.social) curated lists. There are frequent additions, and I want both forum members and the public to be aware of them, and encourage to add their own entries to the wiki. But since the topic is not bumped after an edit, it scrolls out of view, does not get attention.

Is this behavior as it should be? And if yes, is it desirable behavior?
