This is a test: I see a wiki option, and I want to know what it does. I have marked this as a “wiki post”. Can you edit this post? List of people who have edited this post: @gustaphe was first, and you cannot prove he wasn’t. @mkitti [Let’s see - JonasWickman. Edit: Yes.] [Let’s seee - Ashwani Rathee.

Looks like only users with Discourse trust level 3 (“regulars”) can create wiki posts, but anyone with at least trust level 1 can edit wiki posts: Understanding Discourse Trust Levels

This is a reply to the wiki post. How does that work? Can you edit this reply? Can you reply?

[image] mkitti: This is a reply to the wiki post. How does that work? Can only read or answer. Can’t edit your reply. Seems to do well.

I earned a new badge! :slight_smile:

Despite your post I can’t find any Wiki option anywhere… :frowning:

The default String type consists of immutable sequence of UTF-8 codeunits. This is a wiki experiment in building a friendly crowd sourced supplementary documentation for strings in Julia.

Are there additional differences between a wiki post and a normal one, other than the shared editing of the OP? E.g., are they discoverable in some other way or something like that?

I could see I had a badge for “regular”, but I can’t see the wrench that @mkitti shows. Edit2: Trust level found in profile summary and press expand in the top section. And I do seem to have the wrench, but just on some subset of my own posts from what I have found so far.

TIL you can only tag 10 people per post

Just a note — wikis aren’t new and we’ve been using a prominent one for five years now :slight_smile:
