I’m kinda feeling dumb for this… 😐 😕 🙃 So, I can’t edit any of my comments and topics that’s older than 1 months (it should be around March and before). I can’t find the edit button anywhere on it (that pencil button). However, I’ve updated my WIP and it’s bumped all the way to the top. So how am I supposed to tell people if I have made an update on the WIP? (besides creating new comments on the topic, ofc) Did anyone encountered similar thing? ---

There’s a time limit for edits to posts, but you can ask a mod to turn your first post to wiki format so you can edit it after that time limit has passed. ---

I might get it wrong, but does turning it into a wiki format will turn the post into… Somekind of integrated wikia post? Or its analogue is just as simple as .doc vs .txt? Ah, what am I talking about. ---

It means that anyone can edit it, no matter how much time has passed. ---

Ah, I see. Does your WIP also turned into wiki format? ---

No, just the first post – no one can change your WIP. No one has ever abused a wiki post as far as I know. Anyone else know of any exceptions? ---

Regulars can edit the title too - so if you want to update but not edit anything you can always have a “regular” community member edit the title. That is why you see dates on a lot of WiP - they tell you the last time they were updated and use the same link to DashingDon’s… @Szaal is a regular so he/she can edit their own title currently. ---

You also receive a notification if anyone edits a wiki post you’ve created (I made an open one once) so it’s not as though someone could alter it without you knowing. Though as @Havenstone says, I’ve never heard of anyone misusing a wiki post on this forum thus far.
