Answered Indefinitely editable posts/comments

Context:

I would like to integrate the "Books Posted by Poalrs" section of the /s/books wiki directly into Poal vs having the list stored in an offsite pastebin.

Methods:

I see two ways this could be accomplished.

  1. Use the comments section of the wiki post to sort and maintain the links. Then use links to the comments in the main post as an index. This would require that some comments can be edited indefinitely.

  2. (Preferred) Use a "mod post only" sub to sort and index links (/s/PoalLibrary). This would require that those posts, comments, and possibly titles be indefinitely editable.

  3. Both methods would have a similar layout. Each comment/post would be an alphanumeric range (example: 0-9, A-C, or SA-SR), the content of the post can further index the range if needed and the book links would be added as a comment/s so titles can be searched using the search comments feature (post searches only include title not content).

To be clear I am only asking this to be available for wikis and/or "mod post only" subs.

That’s something I have given a thought about. But because that wiki feature is barely used, it’s a very low priority in the to do list.

You can still create a new post with the updated content and make it the wiki post.

There isn't enough charcters available to put all the links in a wiki post. That's partly why I was leaning towards the mod only sub idea. Could posts and comments be made indefinitely editable in subs where the "Only mods can post" option is turned on?

I’ll think about a way to implement that without being abused.

A time limit between edits could help. In my scenario I would only be doing edits about once a month. One month would be an extreme limit, but 5 days or a week between edits would be fair.

It could be cool if it kept a record of the edits... but that would prob just waste a lot of resources on typos
