apioforum now has wiki pages. yay!

how do they work?

  • a wiki page is actually a special kind of thread. the first post of the thread is the page content, and is shown separately by the site; the rest of the posts underneath serve as a discussion forum for that page.
  • wiki posts can be edited by anyone, not just their original author.
  • the revision history is tracked, and is publicly available.
  • (actually, the edit history of all posts is now being tracked. but for non-wiki posts, this is only available to the post's author, and site admins).
  • wiki page names are unique within a forum, appear in the url instead of the thread id number, and are supported within [[wikilink]] syntax.
