Wiki posts are here; do we want to use them?

+1
−0

We now have a "Wiki" post type

Essentially, wiki posts are articles, but with a lower bar for editing;

Unlike with other post types, anybody with the Participate Everywhere privilege can edit the post directly, rather than having to go through suggested edits.

My question to the community: Do we want to use them in Resources, or do you all want to stick with articles? We can also use both of them if desired.

I don't think there is a specific need for them right now. My experience in Spanish.SE suggests that they can be helpful to cover small and specific answers to broad questions (what is the usage of this word? and people describing one for a country), but I do't think we are there yet. Articles should and are working well for the purpose of general reference posts, so I would continue using them

I share fedorqui's opinion that we don't have an obvious use case just yet. (Comments can't be upvoted just now. Answers are votable. Hence this me-too comment.) Let me also add that our current "wiki" post type represents top level posts (like articles) and cannot be used as answers to questions at the moment.
