Hello,

I’d like to humbly request allowing at least some users to convert their posts into wikis. Perhaps Trust Level 1 is involved as a prerequisite. One thing we are missing is the the ability to start converting these threads into really clear information.

Please consider allowing some level of wiki editing, which is available in Discourse. Also check out [DiscoTOC](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discotoc-automatic-table-of-contents/111143), which is a simple theme component that allow threads to be more easily organized.

it IS possible already. you need to be at least a `regular guest` being permitted doing exactly what you requested.

Really appreciate your work here with us.

@rakekniven I’d recommend considering [DiscoTOC from meta.discourse forum](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discotoc-automatic-table-of-contents/111143). See example [on desktop](https://d11a6trkgmumsb.cloudfront.net/original/3X/b/5/b5845b20dcc9d21535de6d86d24d85fa1120b8d3.png) and example [on mobile](https://d11a6trkgmumsb.cloudfront.net/original/3X/c/7/c7ff39471b4a9d5e093a4e99ff1a513497698ff6.png). You can use it to allow Nextcloud forum users to quickly write up cleaner collaborative documentation within the forum. And, it is easy to install. 🙂

**Installation Instructions**  
It is a theme component, so installing it can be done easily while the forum is live directly from admin/customize/components/install/_find and click install again_

You’ll need to select your theme in order for it to activate. It can be restricted by Trust Level.

Here is what it looks like to add a Table of Contents on the right hand side. Cheers either way.

Thanks again. I’ve created a wiki posting [here](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/index-ideas-and-nice-to-haves/76968) for ideas and nice to haves.

I mentioned possibility of adding a table of contents component to this forum. [See this live example of DiscoTOC on our forum](https://discuss.noisebridge.info/t/wtf-is-secure-scuttlebutt-a-costume-party-p2p-mesh-stupid-post-apocalyptic-pub/1640) (table of contents appears on bottom right of post).

Hello @anon75456558,

currently I am short in time and I am not an server admin for this forum.  
Hopefully I get some hours over eastern to have a deeper look here.

Thanks for your recommendation.
