There is FT wiki.
They don't link to the recent changes page, but if you check it (don't post the link here), you'll see loads of spam pages. Why the spammers bother, I don't know, since Mediawiki uses nofollow. But even the main page has a slew of spam links at the bottom.
Too bad, as I'd love to use the wiki for posts.

Wikiposts are active in a few forums now (AS, AA, BA, and possibly a couple of others) as part of a test, although they are currently only editable by moderators and ambassadors. I would expect it to get rolled out to a wider section of FlyerTalk and more users soon, although I don't know what "soon" is.

We have two forums where wiki capability has been enacted: AA and AS. It was turned on Friday afternoon. See an example here:

While testing is in beta phase, only moderators are able to create the wikis.

I don't know there are test fora other than AA and AS though. IB really doesn't do such a good job making this beta feature known neither does they keep the general membership informed about the progress.

Besides AS, AA & BA, LH M&M has it activated but not yet used, and ANA got a pilot where an unmoderated forum has the wiki post feature activated for the ambassador. An example:

Here's a shoutout to alex_b whom I think might be the first member at large to create a wiki.

Finally, the wait is over!
Hope to see more collaborative love among us FTers in the form of wikiposts!

copied over from http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/talkb...l#post20831009
why does the wiki post have to show up on every page? it's very annoying when the post is large, like in http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/credi...first-169.html
other forums just show it on page 1 - people know it's there when they need it, and don't have to skip down on every page.
...
The minimize is good. It would be better if it still left it open on page 1 so that you didn't have to toggle it again when you needed it (and then remember to toggle it off again).
I also see "Wikipost Hide All" under our Options settings. It'd be nice to make this a tri-state option: hide, show, show only on page 1.

Found a bug
Just created a wikipost in this thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/briti...c2-17-jun.html
On clicking 'Save changes' I ended up in a completely different thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/briti...l#post20914337, which also has a (long-standing) wiki of its own.
No damage, as my new wiki was created successfully and the older thread was unchanged, but rather disconcerting
It seems to be reproducible by editing and saving again.
