Looks great… unfortunately, its for linux only at this time. And how do you use it here? Copy from the editor and paste here?

Yes, copy and paste. A few things might be different as for the headers I need to add a space for to work. The nesting part was my target to get to the information fast.

Ah, ok… I clicked windows now and see what you mean. There is for sure something similar. ([http://pad.haroopress.com/user.html](http://pad.haroopress.com/user.html))

I updated the troubleshooting posts to make each issue its on reply in the thread. That gave me a means to link directly to that post. I kept the TOC simple using a basic markdown or whatever its called. I think this might work, just takes some time.

Do you have to have a permission setting to allow you to make a post a wiki post? Someone replied to one of the wiki threads and was not able to set it as a wiki post (and therefore not able to be edited by others).

This is the post that I cannot set to being a wiki nor can the author of it.

> Be warned that you need to use a strong adhesive to connect the bushing or it will fail. I used 2P-10 (a type of wood super glue) and it failed after about a week). I had to break it down and redo it. The second time I used a $2 two part epoxy from Harbor Freight. This seems to be holding well. Note: 2P-10 is amazing for holding wood parts together when assembling. It is not cheap, but holds wood great and sets in seconds.

I’m curious as to why I can make my posts a wiki but others cannot… that’s why I asked about permissions.

I’ve set it to wiki. Perhaps the trust level (yours 3)? I looked on the user page and you don’t have any visible special permissions 🙂

Thanks for looking into it. I have the wrench icon on my posts (post admin actions) that let me “Make Wiki” or “Remove Wiki”.

Found this on discourse forum:

> However normal users may also make their post Wiki, provided their trust level is high enough (by default TL3). Admins can change the trust level required with the site setting `min trust to allow self wiki` .

I guess I could have googled it first 😉

The person replying to the wiki has level 2. That would explain it.

If you are unable to make a post a wiki, you can flag it for the moderators. At the bottom of the post, select the flag icon:

 ![Screenshot%20from%202018-08-17%2020-36-15_mod](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/maslowcnc/original/2X/1/12aa5143c68b4da5e24c029825c13c53d35b43d2.png)

Then choose “something else” and add your request in the message:

I’m not sure if this off topic or not, I run a pmwiki - It is where I have lots of the things I posted backed up. I like that it’s detached, if something happed to the Discourse, it runs independent. Wiki maintenance has a learning curve, yet another Mark-Up language to learn … However I wonder if the programming team couldn’t cook up a ML cross converter to move a post to a PMwiki. Just a thought. PMwiki is mature but not overly cumbersome in my opinion.

The other thing is I like it could easily be cloned for offline use.

Thank you

Interesting thought. Might be a good backup plan. I agree that learning another markup language wouldn’t be good.
