Wiki

So, when we edit or comment on posts we have this lovely editing interface:

image

But when we are editing pages, we have this interface:

image

How difficult would it be to use the same editor for both posts and pages?

I ask this for a reason: the post editor allows pasting in images, whereas the pages editor does not. Therefore, with pages the author has to upload the images to their account and then link them (or put them on an external location). I can see this as being problematic if the owner of a community steps down and passes it on to someone else -- it would be possible to accidentally mess up links...

Or worse, what happens if the previous owner deletes their account? Do all the images associated with that account go away?

P.S. I think the name Wiki is a misnomer. The feature allows for simple page editing, and none of the linking features that are the defining feature of a wiki. ;)

Not saying it isn't...but we don't need to have MediaWiki in PieFed. ๐Ÿ˜€
