What is a wiki post?
A wiki post is a special type of post that can be edited by any user, except users at Trust Level 0 (new)
What is the purpose of a wiki post?
Wiki posts can be used to when you want to give everyone in the community the power to edit & contribute to a post, in order to add more value/information into it.
For example, we are using a Wiki post for ‘Expenses on the Road’. This is because we want everyone to be able to list out the different types of expenses, in one neat place.
Who can create or remove wiki posts?
For the time being only Trust Level 3 (regular) users can create or remove a wiki
Don’t get confused though, any user (except Trust Level 0 users) can EDIT a wiki post or add information to it, they just can’t create their own wiki or remove someone else’s.

Properties of a wiki post

While editing a wiki post you can also view revision & the history of previous edits, along with the user that previously edited the wiki post.

If two users are editing the post at the same time, the latest save becomes the latest revision, thus overwriting the contents of the previous save.

Any post of a topic can be transformed manually into a wiki. It does not necessarily have to be the original post
