What does it do? It lets you add comprehensive wiki functionality to any WP, Multisite or BuddyPress install.
How cool is that :)
Of course this is our initial release, and we're already working on some improvements, but we'd love to get your feedback, feature requests, bug reports and more, so go give it a spin.

It would also be good if there is a settings page for the display. One option that I can think of would be the ability to hide the breadcrumb trail. I already have a breadcrumb on my sites and this just creates a duplicate. I will hard code the change, but that is certainly not the best option for all sites, and especially updates.
@jeffvand great feedback, I agree that settings for the display would be excellent (especially if we could also include some design customization options... color etc.) and I'll get onto Moha and Tammie about that.
@ismanila Wiki plugin comes with a side bar widget which will list all wiki pages upto 3 levels of nesting. Wiki pages are not pages, they will not turn up as pages in the menu. But feel free to modify your theme to list the top level wikis, content type is incsub_wiki. (Please start a new thread if you need help modifying your theme, I'll gladly help :) )
@jeffvand Wiki syntax is a priority in the features to implement, but it will take some time. I'll get breadcrumbs issue fixed in a future release, thanks for reporting.
This is something that my users (teachers) have been wanting for some time. I just downloaded and installed. It is a very simple and easy to use wiki which is perfect. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
This is looking better and better. :) Installed and applied some CSS and it is ready to roll out to our users.
I just want to second @ismanila's recommendation that we be able to apply page templates. Right now it only allows the default page template to be applied and it would be nice to apply a full-width one, or for themes with only full-width, to apply a template with a widget sidebar.
Thanks for this great plugin! Looking forward to future releases.

Hiya esu9waldo,
We haven't tested this plugin with WPMU 2.9. Mohanjith may be able to give you some pointers, but it's not something we've built support into by default.
@esu9waldo I'm sorry the Wiki plugin is not compatible with pre 3.0 WordPress versions at all. Custom post types used in the Wiki plugin were introduced only in WordPress 3.0.
Anyway, in my opinion you should consider upgrading to WordPress 3.0 at least?
Thanks, missed the sidebar widget angle. Right now I've just created a page and used the, "Page Links To," plugin to get the wiki to show up as a page and that seems to work.
@jeffvand is talking about exactly what I'm after; the full page width option would be great.
This is a great plug-in. I run a big school multi-user site and wikis were definitely one of the missing pieces.
Wow... I was just doing some final testing on this before rolling it out and testing out the history function.
If you try to compare old and new versions you get quite an awesome easter-egg... I love it. So ready to go live with this. Might be confusing for my clients... but I love it.
Thanks for the laugh. :) The Matrix certainly has me and the white rabbit. :)
@S H Mohanjith : is it possible for Wordpress Wiki to work with MultiDB installation? If so, can you make it to work on another database instead of the global one?

Hi jeffvand and all others wondering about that Matrix message!
That would actually be a WordPress easter egg rather than our own, funny enough! Apparently when two post revisions that are exactly the same are compared, you get that Matrix easter egg!
While I think it's rather funny myself, I think a lot of people are going to instantly assume they've been hit with a virus in their beloved WordPress!
I've identified the wiki plugin as being cause of all my permalinks suddenly breaking and just going to 404 errors. My permalinks are /%postname%/ and my htaccess file is setup correctly. When I deactivate the Wiki plugin my permalinks work again.
Does anyone have a live install they wouldn't mind sharing. We are thinking of trying it out with our community but would like to see it in action before getting knee-deep in to things.
I get some angry emails and comments on my site suggesting corrections to factual inaccuracies. I want to let my users make edit to my site's posts.
But my requirements are simpler than what WordPress Wiki does -- yet they are unmet by it.
Please consider the following features:
1) Wikifying normal WordPress posts -- not only Wiki post types.
2) Stylability for MediaWiki tabs bar. I just want an "Edit" link that I can place any where on the post.
I will place the Edit link above the <h3>Leave a comment</h3> header.
It'll be like:
<h3>Edit this page</h3>
<p>Correct factual inaccuracies and outdated information by
<a href="<?php wiki_edit_link(); ?>">editing this page</a>.
Your edits will be submitted to the author for approval</p>
3) The ability to approve edits before publishing them.
4) Ability compare edits with original version
That's it. No need for history or discussion. Thanks!
WordPress Wiki seems to be incompatible with Pages when the Permalink setting is anything other than default. That is, manually created Pages give a 'page not found error' and plugins that rely on Pages such as Blogs directory, Members directory, global site tags, global site search all generate error message "Sorry, we can't find the content you're looking for at this URL". This only happens with the main site blog -- other user blogs seem to be OK (but I'm still investigating).
See this posting for more details.
Finally sussed!
Also, I have 3.1 and I thought I put this somewhere else, but the link button does not work anymore. I need to fix this ASAP. Is there a fix I can roll out while we wait for the next version?

I can't seem to use Wiki-Syntax. I am trying to do a [new page] and then be able to click on that and it will go to the new page that I can edit.

Where do wikis sit within page navigation, it doesn't seem to turn up as a page? Also I'd like to be able to apply a different template to wiki pages.

We are currently using WordPress MU 2.9. Will this Wiki plugin work for us?

The following plugin disables it though.

Please could you fix the permalink issue between the Wiki plugin and Wordpress pages. I am also having the same problem that Markpea is having.
Member — 11th March 2011 (1 year ago) #
One other thing.
Would this be the correct URL for generating an RSS feed for the Wiki plugin?
http://example.com/feed/?post_type=incsub_wiki
I'm assuming incsub_wiki is the name of the custom post type that the Wiki plugin uses.
