MODERATORS
Reddit had the ability to have a per-subreddit wiki. I never dug into it on the moderator side, but it was useful for some things like setting up pages with subreddit rules and the like. I think that moderators had some level of control over it, at least to allow non-moderator edits or not, maybe on a per-page basis.
That could be a useful option for communities; I think that in general, there is more utility for per-community than per-instance wiki spaces, though I know that you admin a server with one major community which you also moderate, so in your case, there may not be much difference.
I don't know how amenable django-wiki is to partitioning things up like that, though.
EDIT: https://www.reddit.com/wiki/wiki/ has a brief summary.
Indeed that is also what I had in mind regarding linking up a Wiki to Lemmy.
It should be possible I guess to link community membership to wiki groups and those groups each have their own name-space that looks like a seperate wiki more or less.
Hmm, I am working on a similar Dokuwiki integration. Have not gotten very far with it though. Maybe I should give this a look instead 🤔
While I love Dokuwiki as well, the fact that it has a slightly different markup language would be a stumbling block for users moving info over. Also, django-wiki is python, which I know and can extend, while Dokuwiki is php, which I don't. :)
Dookuwiki
Have not gotten very far with it though.
Master Kenobi, you disappoint me. Yoda holds you in such high esteem. Surely you can do better!
Cool work! Love the idea of hooking into the fediverse toolset
This is extremely cool, thank you for your work! Would you consider supporting a container deployment alongside existing container hosted Lemmy instances? No worries if that breaks to far from your workflow.
Sadly there's no container for django-wiki atm. The existing implementation is 3 years old and unmaintained so it's fallen very far behind. My deployment is pure ansible, so I plan to post a public version of it, but if you want it in container form to sit alongside lemmy, someone else has to dockerize it and ensure it's up to date
Ah, if that's the case then I'll work on making my own container image based on your ansible implementation. Don't worry about it, you're already doing more than I can. Looking forward to the release!
Is there a reason you went with this approach of claiming accounts (as opposed to say the system for Fediseer, where it messages you on Lemmy to claim it, or the lemmy Oauth system)?
Yes, there's no current hooks provided by django-wiki for user registration etc. I have opened requests to add them and I'm planning to adjust the procedure further then. I could also extend the django-wiki myself, but I have my hands full already with my other projects.
Ultimately the best would indeed be some sort of lemmy oauth system to register. I'm hoping this might be possible at some point in the future. This kind of thing requires more developers jumping in and this is partly why I make these posts as well.
That would be great, I have been looking at alternatives for the trans surgery wiki on Reddit in case they go the way of Tumblr.
