Wiki Threads

Are they still a thing?

Was just coming to ask the same thing

No, they were an unsupported hack of vBulletin.

That's too bad, they were a neat feature.

@jayoungr - looks like you're on the hook for updating those 'Enhancing' thread indexes!

 

[jayoungr]

Pity!

Reviving this thread to say that six months later, I'm really missing wiki threads. Is there any way something similar could be revived? I realize it probably can't be done on the forums themselves, but is there a way to make a wiki list of links etc. somewhere else on the site? Anything?

We could start a separate EN World wiki using some hosted wiki service or something. This software itself doesn't include any wiki functionality.

Turns out there is a wiki plugin which creates a separate wiki with the forum powering the comments. But given how little the current Resources section is used, I’m hesitant to add another graveyard to the collection.

I get your point. Maybe make a survey somewhere to see if anyone besides me has interest in it?

Alternatively, what about being able to tag posts or threads? I know the Big Purple has that functionality, but I'm not sure how it works.
