Improvements for Wiki addon

[PhineasD]

I have some suggestions for improving Wikis:

• Limit user edits per day to prevent malicious edits or deletions
• Send edits to the approval queue so they can be reviewed by moderators before being visible (in my opinion, this is a must have in a Wiki)
• Do not allow attachments to be removed from the original post (same, this is a must have in a Wiki)
• The fa-book icon inside box is not displayed in the latest version of XF

And the possibility of sorting wikiposts by editing order and not by publication order.

Thank you so much for the suggestions. I'll take a look at every one of them and implement some of them. There are a few that might require extra work, and I might pass on them because of the difficulty in coding them, but thank you nonetheless.

@JulianD Great! I'm really looking forward to those improvements.

I would like to get more feedback from you to understand your general need and plan an implementation in the future:

• Limit user edits per day to prevent malicious edits or deletions

- Does a simple user group permission with the amount of edits per day would be enough?

• Send edits to the approval queue so they can be reviewed by moderators before being visible (in my opinion, this is a must have in a Wiki)

- Do you think it would be enough to send the edit to the approval queue? This would require the approver to have admin/moderator permissions in order to approve an edit. Creating the ability for normal user to approve edits would require a more complet implementation.
- How do you imagine the scenario where a user tries to edit the WikiPost while there's an existing edit waiting for approval?

• The fa-book icon inside box is not displayed in the latest version of XF

This has been fixed and will be included in the next release!

Yes, it would be sufficient to be able to configure a maximum number of edits per user group.

- Do you think it would be enough to send the edit to the approval queue? This would require the approver to have admin/moderator permissions in order to approve an edit. Creating the ability for normal user to approve edits would require a more complet implementation.

In my case, it would be sufficient for the administrator to be able to approve the edits, since in case of doubt I would use the comments of the publication to ask other users if the change should be approved.

- How do you imagine the scenario where a user tries to edit the WikiPost while there's an existing edit waiting for approval?

Perhaps the simplest option would be to temporarily block editing on a wiki that has a pending edit, displaying a warning message such as "This wiki has a pending edit and does not allow new edits until it has been resolved. Please try again in a few minutes."

Thank you for your patient. I have implemented all of these suggestions!
