different instances might see different events.

Why would this happen? Does it have to do with not running the latest software? If so, it seems to me like a responsibility the server admins should be mindful of.

Do you reject both of them and keep the old content?

Why not simply reject both but save them in the history tab and then send PMs to both users involved to inform them of the conflict?

Sorry for my ignorance but why would it be a nightmare to implement over Activitypub? Would there be an issue with approved editor accounts from other instances?

I don’t know if I would consider wiki pages the threshold for feature creep. It’s been a basic feature for Reddit mods ever since I joined Reddit 10 years ago. Therefore it existed before all the new.Reddit features were thrown in. Mods use wikis for directories, tutorials, archiving select content, and bot configs. Yes you could link to external wiki pages but IMO the experience for reading, editing, and adjusting settings would not be as seemless.

Sorry but I fail to see why support for wikis would be synonymous with corporate social media. IMHO, it’s a fundamental tool to have.

For the first option you mentioned, a user already suggested a service called Hubziller. My issue with it is it might be a bit tacky or confusing for readers if they subscribe to a community but have to visit a separate service to access wikis, instead of making them in house. Maybe it’s just me being stubborn and not thinking outside the box since I’ve been a mod on Reddiy for 10 years, but that’s my humble opinion.

The second option is a more practical solution for here and now but it doesn’t allow for collective editing or reverting changes.

Interesting. Thanks.

Experienced mods moving from Reddit to Lemmy would expect support for integrated wiki pages since it’s been a basic feature for so long. They use them for creating directories, tutorials, and all kinds of resources. My sense is that making wikis a separate project on the Fediverse would be too clunky, although I admit it’s an interesting idea.

EDIT: They can also be used for bot configs just like AutoMod, which is a separate feature request in itself.
