I am not against this idea. I think it is not difficult to implement with some user group options.I'm biased but I think wikipost should takeover all of xenforo.
from the overview page:from what I read in the addon description it is not possible now.
from the overview page:
Wiki authors can't upload or delete attachments from the first post. Due to XenForo not having a mechanism to revert a deleted attachment, I preferred not to give users the permission to manage an attachment. In a future release, the ability to upload but not delete attachments from the first post will be implemented.
Road map
This addon is currently being used in my own community and it's actively being developed. The idea is to improve this addon even further with new features and integrations.
The first goal in my roadmap is to start developing support for XenForo 2.2 Thread Types as soon as Beta 1 is released but there's more ideas I would love to implement very soon:
- Create a new [WIKITOC] bbcode to include a Table of Content
- Link related WikiPosts across your community
- Allow any post from a thread to be marked as a WikiPost
- Report an edition to the WikiPost
- Display the most active Wikis in the last day/week/month/year
- Protect the Wiki from editions - preapprove a change or limit the users that can edit certain WikiPost.
- Paginate the WikiPost History since it can get pretty big in a short period of time.
I asked the mod caretaker and he has no plans on updating or supporting.We've been using this addon with SES. We're looking at upgrading to XF 2.3 but seems this addon isn't supported/updated.
Are there alternatives? What are people doing that have been relying on this addon to use SES that also want to upgrade to XF 2.3?
This version includes several new options to help you protect your WikiPosts according to your needs. New permissions and settings are available that you should review and configure after upgrading.
New Permissions and Options
Attachment Management: You can now allow users to upload and delete attachments from WikiPosts. However, the permission to delete attachments is destructive, which means users could abuse or misuse it and cause data loss...
Small bug fix to the Pending Edit feature. Now it only allows one pending edit per WikiPost (before it allowed one pending edit per WikiPost per user, which could be confusing and lead to data loss).



Hey Arn, thanks for reporting this to me.Ok, I feel like this might just be a stupid oversight on my part. Just upgraded to XF 2.3. Upgraded Wikipost to 1.1.1.
People are saying new Wikiposts don't show the edit button. Old ones do.
As admin, of course I see the edit button. But I logged in under a test account.

We limit Wiki editing to users with > 20 posts, so if you create and account right off, it won't let you edit. But my test user is in the right user group.
There is an edit button for threads created before the upgrade.

Thanks to @arn for reporting this to me.
There was a bug in the creator service that was setting the protection data to false, and hence not allowing anyone to edit new WikiPosts. You need to update to the 1.1.2 version and disable and reneable the WikiPost threads for the right data to be saved. Alternatively, as an administrator, go to the Protect WikiPost on affected threads, make sure that the option is set to "Anyone with the appropriate permissions" and hit save. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.Ok, I feel like this might just be a stupid oversight on my part. Just upgraded to XF 2.3. Upgraded Wikipost to 1.1.1.
