Forum wiki posts cannot be differentiated from regular posts
Wiki-type posts on the community forum cannot be easily differentiated from regular posts at the moment, as they both have the same styling and no special background/highlighting of any way.
Discourse offers a way to customise wiki posts via theme stylesheets (see here), but it is not clear if the current theme in use on the forum supports that yet/has the specialised components needed for this customisation. Will possibly need a new component (see here).
Thanks to @JonahWilberg for bringing up the issue and research on the topic 🙏
Q: are we happy with the "Discourse default" light-green background, and "Edit this Wiki post" text for the edit button, as shown here?
IMO we could go with an orange shade for the background, as it's more on-brand and should go better with the dark theme.
@1s-vs-0s i think we want to discuss a bit here and check out the the discussion / table in "Discourse experiment" tab of https://docs.google.com/document/d/1chbeGmlRHf00OC3ryFOUQ1PLynJ5YxjyNS5P0kWDGLA/edit?tab=t.4naq7ttmobai
I think we will probably restrict wiki posts to a given category which will simplify this a bit. Overall i think we want to design the forum in something like figma or penpot and then we can implement that once that is clear.
Thanks very much @1s-vs-0s ! OK can but can we just implement as a trial for now, as we have done with the existing trial wiki posts - I thought we agreed to go ahead with a trial, which would work a lot better with some custom formatting. @1s-vs-0s I'd say orange is a good call. @rufuspollock we already have the Wiki category, where new posts are automatically wiki posts, and we can restrict ability to create wiki posts generally (haven't seen an option to restrict wiki posts to a given category).
