I used this software years ago, with vbulletin. Its was a complete disaster all the time, endless bugs yielding literally hundreds of hours in lost time.
I want a wiki for my forum but after my experience with this, I am very hesitant to ever use something that leaves content completely screwed up if its disabled. So again, my rating on this is code is to forewarn members of the setbacks should you have the same experiences as I did. Looking ahead, if this wiki has been improved and should you discontinue updating it, thus forcing xenforo users to have to uninstall it... what would the wiki bbcode content look like? Would it have all sorts of special bb code broken?

It is not clear from your review whether you have actually tried the version you have reviewed. VaultWiki has come a long way from "years ago." There is a new version with fixes every 1-2 months. Whether you were referring to a beta or some other version, I don't know.
Front end isn't all that great, doesn't really use any of the XenForo elements, back end has a completely separate admin panel, can't edit user group permissions without going into it's weird admin panel, not sure why the permissions can't be located on the normal usergroup edit page. Could use improvement. Will see how it is in a future update.

I hear what you're saying about the backend, and thanks for those ideas on improving it. For the front-end though, I would be interested to hear any ideas about improving it. I'm also a little confused about your claim that it "doesn't use any of the XenForo elements". If you could be a little more specific on what you believe is out of place, it would be appreciated. If you can't update your review, please post in the discussion, as these are issues that we would like to address soon since there are only 1 or 2 RCs left now.
