Here's some background on the subject:
I've long desired the ability to add wikiposts to FlyerTalk threads. When I say wikiposts, I mean like the second post in this thread (which is quite possibly the greatest use ever for a wikipost):

Some other (perhaps more relevant) examples:

The FlyerGuide wiki is used extensively by some of the various forums on FT but just isn't well-integrated enough into FT to make it a globally usable option. And we don't want to drive people off-site to find their content, which is what linking to FlyerGuide does. (It also doesn't really give the same result as a true in-thread wiki post.)
Here's a perfect example for when a wikipost would be very helpful:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trave...l#post17729582 (post #1106 on the last page of that thread if that link doesn't take you to the right place--I have my page settings to view 40 posts per page).
Other TalkBoard members have posted their own observations of threads around FlyerTalk that would benefit from this application (generally, the long, so-called "mega-threads" tend to be ones that would benefit), but as they were discussed in the private TalkBoard forum, I'll have to let them bring up any observations they had.
