Make the #wiki threads easier to see. I notice a lot of people re-post the same topics or the same material because they don’t see or understand how the #wiki section is used, or even that it exists.

Its up to the user to choose the right category (whether their post should be a wiki or not) , this take time for some people to get used to , and thats the reason only users of certain trusts levels can create and edit wikis .

In case of reposting , its a users responsibility to search the forum for similar/existing topics .

What about an automod that directs people to the wiki? I’d rather not see this forum get flooded with ‘How do I hack’ posts and drown out the good threads.
The How do I hack? threads already get handled by the community via this v
I mean Discourse has always had a search feature that try’s to help users filter out threads that could be dups, but I feel like most of the users here unintentionally ignore the Wiki threads because they do not know they are there until told after they’ve already posted.
All I’m doing is opening a thread to propose possible solutions to the existence of duplication in materials on the forum. Unless that’s fine, then I’m fine with it being fine. I just like consolidation as part of the organization effort to make information easier to access.

As seen here a basic user has the permission to edit Wiki threads. The Trust Level 1 requirements are there for anti-spam measures. This isn’t a question of who can post what, this is a discussion about how to consolidate information before it becomes a problem. As of now it’s not an issue.

Makes sense. Sorry for getting off topic, just don’t like seeing solid communities choked to death by petty criminals.
