We are interested in having a wiki style topic, but do not need this for version 1 of Discourse.

That said if the community would like to contribute a PR in this department we would be more than happy to review, and if good merge.

The spec for v0 of the feature.

1. Add a column to posts `wiki` not nullable bit, default 0.
2. Any post that has `wiki`=1 is editable by all logged on users.
3. Add admin post action (like like/flag etc), when clicked it brings up an admin menu
4. Admin menu allows you to wiki / unwiki a post
5. Every change in state is logged in post\_revisions with the name of the admin who changed it
6. Any posts that are wiki have a visual cue like PM or Group on the side to denote they are wiki
7. Accounts properly for existing states like hidden / deleted, I don’t want people editing deleted / hidden posts or posts they have no access to.

More context:

- long term admin menu will have more options like, hard delete post, change owner etc.
- longer term we may add a new permission for editing OP or posts in a category, which will allow better fidelity.

That is it, nothing else for v0.
