Why do I have a little wrench on my posts?

Community General Discussion
1

Theres a little wrench next to the reply button that says ‘Post admin actions’ and has the option to turn my post into a wiki, but idk what that does really, and none of my other characters have it when I post on them.

Also, my guld name and achievement points are blue to me, but only on this character.

It’s for linking wikis, I think? pretty helpful in lore and gameplay debates sometimes.

Wiki Posts

Trust level 3 users can change their post to become a Wiki Post. This means once activated as a Wiki anyone can edit it. This can be helpful in making community strategy guides. Simply click the wrench icon on your own post and select the link to turn on the Wiki Post.

Not link a Wiki Post - Create a Wiki Post - i.e. turn your post into a Wiki Post that anyone with the same trust level could edit. It could be helpful in making guides that change over time.

Here, I made this post a Wiki Post - Now - Edit it!

Woo!

New class- Woo Woo girls!

So anyone can put words into your mouth, or can you tell who made the edit?

Wiki’s create a history document - you should see it now that I added something.

Scruit: i have added to another user’s post

Cool! I can type in green font! :slight_smile:

I dislike greatly the consumption of pie, as well as cookies and other treats.

Yay! Pie! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

And the Blue coloring on my Guilds name and Ach points? Or is this something everyone sees for themselves?

I do not see them as blue - they are links - guild name takes me to your activity page / actually both take me to your activity page. After I click the links - they are blue.

NEAT!

That is another neat thing I did not know about :wink:

Is it really Trust Level 3? I’m still Trust 2, but I have the ‘Post admin actions’ wrench at the bottom of my posts as well?

Neat. Sorry, had to. Quite fun!

Man, I’ve never wanted to consume multiple pumpkin pies as much as I now do after reading your heretical comment!

Edit away!

This one too!

Once I got cheese stuck in my ear.

I take that back, Gnomes are the best and I’m race changing from silly human soon. - Hey this IS fun!

Weird, I’m not Trust Level 3 yet, but I edited your wiki post.

Gotta get it out of my system, before serious wiki time later. :joy:

On a constructive note, my input is:

I’m level 2 atm but can (obviously) edit wikis or create and remove my own. Also the link thing, I see my personal guild name and achieve points in blue. Others are grey to me, whether I clicked them or not.

Maybe you only have to be Trust Level 2 to edit - but I thought you had to be the same Trust Level as the poster. Bug Report, incoming!

You only need to be level 2 to edit wiki posts unless someone who is level 3 or above puts in an outside link or a gif or something then they can’t edit it without removing said link/gif.

That makes sense. Seems fine.
