I’m looking to start a wiki but I don’t want to force my users to sign up on a separate wiki. What’s the best way to run a wiki and leverage my already-existent Xenforo user base?
Great idea. Read the Native wiki thread and post some of your thoughts.I’m looking to start a wiki
Great idea.but I don’t want to force my users to sign up on a separate wiki.
Solution: vaultwiki.What’s the best way to run a wiki and leverage my already-existent Xenforo user base?
Thanks for the info all. I used it to make a wiki and it's going great!
I will pm you. I went with mediawiki and it turned out good but only cause my forum has techies. For forums with non-techie you will want vaultwiki.can you post a link? I'm trying to decide if a wiki will work for my site?
Amazing idea!By the way, for anyone reading this, as an experienced wiki admin, the hardest part, at least for me, of maintaining a wiki, is maintaining interest and involvement with the wiki. People need to use it regularly to care enough about it to be willing to update it.
I think the key in this is making people actually use the wiki, which they won't necessarily do if it's just a link at the top of the page. OTOH, an addon like the following could help a lot:
https://xenforo.com/community/resources/keyword-replace-by-waindigo.635/
When people see hyperlinks in posts to wiki pages, they will start caring more about the wiki pages and will want to contribute. Hence, if you add a wiki, you might want to add a keyword to link replacer as well.
Just an idea...
