This capability is one of the neatest features of Discourse, our forum software! It allows “regular” members (trust level 3 and above) to create posts (wikis) that are editable by any other regular member, for the purpose of creating a master summary of important information. Here is how: - Create the post - use the appropriate formatting \*\* bold headings \*\* copy-paste the triple line and last wiki line “_End of wiki ---------- comments start here_” from an existing wiki - Include a Resources or References section at the end - Save the post in a wiki subcategory within the appropriate category - On the post, on the bottom right-hand side, select the “…” icon, and click on it - Select the wrench - Under the wrench drop-up, select “Make wiki” - Tag the wiki “wiki” (that is the only way we can find wiki posts outside of the wiki TOCs) - Add a link to the wiki in the wiki subcategory TOC * * * * * * * * * _End of wiki ---------- comments start here_ ---

I’m glad you posted this. I definitely want to do one for the calibration factor, but I’m not quite ready yet. I do have a question though about how this works in general. When you create one, is absolutely anybody able to edit it? I guess I’m trying to understand exactly _who_, within the group or not, would have that capability… ---

Just saw you posted this 12 months ago… so I’m glad you posted this 12 months ago then. 🙂 ---

@Nickyghaleb you’re welcome. 12.months ago… Lol (even though I had nothing to do with it 😁) ---

Only people who are level3 (regulars) can edit a wiki, so that is not too many people, and all of them have been around for a long while. ---

@Michel, then I would be fine with that. I was not even afraid of the people within the site editing as much as I was afraid that people from outside it could. I’m not being uptight. My concern is that I do use my calibration factor for something different than what is available on the net right now. I still have a lot of information to hammer out, but I know at this point what its potential is… at least in what I’m able to do with it. I just don’t want to post something and have people edit it to fit current available information. If that makes any sense… ---

Then why not just set it up as the first post of a new thread? This way you would be the only one able to edit it: safer that way! ---
