@Mike_NL Good find! I thought I had seen wiki functionality as part of Discourse but a cursory search didn’t turn up anything.
It’s not a full featured system but I think it would be sufficient for what we’re trying to do. For instance, there are no protections in place to keep multiple people from modifying the wiki post at the same time. If two people attempt to do simultaneous modifications, one of them is going to lose their changes.
What it does is show who is currently modifying the post. That should be enough to warn people to wait till one person is done before starting to make changes.
Oh I’ve noticed. You’ve been doing a great job managing the 50 Songs Challenge threads.
This isn’t meant to supplant your work there, since listing the videos at the top of each of those threads acts as a resource organized by song.
My only concern is eventually there will be 50 separate song threads (51 if you including Hysteria as a capstone song) with hundreds of videos. And that only includes the people going through it right now.
So, my thinking was two fold.
- How do we create an Index resource organized by user?
- How doe we continue supporting organizational resources after the initial creator moves on?
Part of my thinking on this is the BassBuzz YouTube Video Guide. Far more people have used that than I ever expected. If I move on or something happens to me, how can it be maintained by those that come later?
The Wiki Post feature that @Mike_NL linked to would work for both of those questions.
- It would allow us to set up and more easily manage an Index of User Videos.
- It would allow for converting forum posts into wiki posts so that others can manage them.
