Using wiki mode in some of the Discourse categories

[jonr]

Feature Requests and other categories might benefit from enabling the Wiki mode in Discourse, allowing sequential collaborative editing of textual content.

Would that be a use case that fits into the contribution and moderation model of this instance?

Hi @jonr,

Thanks for your post. Can you say a little bit more about how you envision that and other categories (maybe elaborate which ones) could benefit from the use of that plugin? I reviewed some of the documentation here on how the plugin works from a Discourse plugin standpoint, but I’d like to hear from you and/or other community members on how it might be useful.

I may have to defer to @asmecher here as well, since he and the dev team sort of oversee some of the correspondence and tracking of the Feature Requests category, as they make their way further down the pipeline to become development priorities.

Falling today into this thread.

So long ago, I used the wiki format in this post:

Collaborative list of spam user patterns

Whether you’ve inherited a new magazine or it’s time to put your house in order, in the forum you can find several good threads on how to deal with spam users but I miss an unified and updated list of spam patterns like the one @jmacgreg started in How do I combat spam?, so, here you have a forum-wiki-page here with an initial compilation that could be collectively extended/enriched. I tried to make it compact and with same structure to facilitate the reading and are numbered for an easy refere…

So I think the plugin is already enabled… but I’m not sure if it works in all categories.

Jon, did you test in other categories and fails?
