Wiki
  • NEW: The wiki editor has an Insert block menu for adding Note, Tip and Warning callouts, FAQ entries (a question that expands to its answer), buttons, two-column sections, tables and dividers. Each block is inserted with placeholder text to type over, and looks in the editor as it will on the page.
  • NEW: Wiki pages written in Markdown can use GitHub-style callouts: a quote starting with [!NOTE], [!TIP] or [!WARNING] is shown as a Note, Tip or Warning box.
  • NEW: Creating a new wiki page offers templates to start from: Blank, FAQ (an introduction and questions that expand to their answers), Guide (a table of contents, steps and a tip) and Canned answer (a short answer written to be inserted into replies). A template is only starting content; the page can be edited like any other.
  • CHANGE: Wiki pages had almost no styling of their own: headings, tables, code and quotes looked like plain text, and lines ran the full width of the window. Pages now have comfortable line lengths and spacing, a clear heading scale, bordered and striped tables, styled code blocks and quotes, and images that never overflow the page, in light and dark mode. Formatting authors set on their own text still takes precedence. The pinned wiki page above the Topics and Messages lists gets the same styles.
  • CHANGE: Moving between wiki pages meant opening the Pages dropdown, and the page title only appeared in the breadcrumb. On larger screens, wiki pages now list every page in a column on the left, with Home first, the current page highlighted and a filter box when there are more than 15 pages. Each page starts with its title and an "Updated … by …" line linking to its history. A page's On This Page contents move to a panel on the right that stays in view while scrolling, with the wiki's sidebar below it. On phones the Pages dropdown and the inline contents remain.
  • BUGFIX: A wiki page's table of contents was numbered 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 when the page's headings started below the top level, which most pages do. The table of contents now lists headings as written, without numbers of its own, the same on phones and larger screens.
  • BUGFIX: A wiki sidebar or footer written in Markdown or plain text showed its raw text, such as **bold**, instead of formatting it. Sidebars and footers are now displayed like the rest of the page, and their HTML is cleaned the same way.

Wiki
  • BUGFIX: On the wiki edit page, clicking Discard briefly showed the page's raw HTML before going back to the previous page. The same happened when going back with the browser's Back button from any page with the message editor. The editor now stays hidden while the previous page loads. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41317
  • BUGFIX: In the wiki Image Library, selecting or dropping a file in the Upload File window left an empty preview box, and the window stayed that way for every later upload until the page was reloaded. The selected image now shows in the preview each time. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41317
  • CHANGE: In the wiki Image Library, the Delete button sat between Cancel and Insert. It is now on the left, away from Insert, with Cancel and Insert together on the right. Add New and the Upload File window's Add button now use a plus icon. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41317
  • CHANGE: The Yes button in the wiki's Verify Edit window now uses the same checkmark icon as other confirmation buttons. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41317
  • CHANGE: On the wiki edit page, Page History and New Page left the page without warning, losing any unsaved edits. They now open in a new tab. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41317

Wiki
  • NEW: When adding an image from the wiki's image library, you can now enter alternative text that describes the image for people who can't see it.

Wiki
  • BUGFIX: In the wiki, clicking Add after choosing an image in the Add New image dialog submitted the whole page, which cleared the page title, and the image was never inserted. Add now uploads the image and inserts it into the page, and the rest of the page is left alone.
