Wiki Pages

Congrats to Admin on launching this feature.
Will hopefully help clean up many pages and be useful for a lot of pages including Community Meets.

Given we can't comment here:

I thought I'd make a feedback thread for some of my thoughts.

1. The titling [WIKI POST] should be after the thread title - not before. It messes up the readability of a sub-forum, and the Wiki is not the most important feature.

2. A Wiki should be narrower then the thread topic.
For example the Wiki - Qantas Seat Configurations, has been added to
http://www.australianfrequentflyer....m/qantas-737-refurbishment-tracker-69970.html
http://www.australianfrequentflyer....flyer-program/all-qfs-330s-get-lay-53445.html

While there is a lot of good work in the Seat Configurations Wiki - its way to broad for the specific thread which focuses on %ge completion of the refurb program, specific tail numbers and customer feedback.

Thanks for the feedback!

1. Unfortunately, we are constrained by the vBulletin software and we can't (easily) place [Wiki Page] after the thread title.
2. I understand what you are saying, and its a good point. In general, we try to have a one-to-one relationship between a wiki-page and a thread. In these cases the wiki-page will summarise the content in that thread only. But in some cases (such as the Seat Configuration wiki) it makes more sense to have a broader wiki which is then associated with multiple threads.

1. Understood - Maybe just the Word "Wiki" or just an Icon might improve things.

I also note that Wiki's do not seem to be Visible at all on the new mobile app.

I also note that Wiki's do not seem to be Visible at all on the new mobile app.

As they are a new feature, and utilise a plugin on top of vBulletin they were never designed to be visible from within the app. Perhaps in the future they may be visible, but at this stage I think future development of the app will be towards fixing the existing issues before adding new functionality. It's a good suggestion for the future though.

The pages in question have now been split to be more on-topic. However, they will need to be looked after by members to remain accurate.
