Wiki Threads

[robus]

A wiki page and a wiki thread are the same thing in this software. I’m not ware of any function to convert a thread to a wiki page, but I’m as new to this as you are, so it might be there!

Ah OK

Hooray, wikis are back!

Let's hope it gets used! Took a lot of work to get working!

For the "Enhancing" threads, I think the easiest thing would be to make a new wiki page for each and then just add a link to it in the opening post for each thread. I created most of them, so I can edit those in pretty easily in most cases.

I think there may be a manual workaround by merging threads. The original post would need to be copied to a wiki page, and a fresh discussion thread started. Then I would have to merge that with the original thread.

I haven’t tried this. Might be worth an experiment to see if it works.

So, uh.... anybody actually gonna use this after all that hullabaloo?

Morrus, I made a boo-boo in the wiki while trying to make a wiki thread. This wiki page: Enhancing Dragon of Icespire Peak should be deleted (if it can). I didn’t immediately grok the process. I have since created the wiki thread post I wanted.

I fully intend to, but it happened just as I'm going into crazy season at work. When I claw my way out of the pile, I'll figure out how to convert the old "enhancing" threads back to wikis. Would you recommend I make a new wiki thread and have it merged?

It's taken this long, but I have a little bit of room to breathe and think about remaking old theads again. I feel like taking on the project of restoring wikis for the previous "enhancing" adventure threads. Would one of you be willing to post a step-by-step list of instructions so that I don't make whatever mistake Robus just made?

I'm trying to remember what I did, but you definitely don't start with a thread post! Create a wiki page and the page + any "discussion" becomes the thread. What I'm forgetting is how the page gets connected to the right forum.... Once the thread shows up you can tag it with the wiki moniker (but that's purely for forum readers - it has no magic "wiki" effect.)
