I moved this to its own discussion
As it stands, pinning does not work very well for the format of this forum. As discussions are pinned, it makes the forum increasingly more "static" for new or guest users as they are always at the top. This pushes active discussions farther down.
This takes away from the true effective power of this forum: ephemeral, conversational discussions that lead to useful discoveries. But then, other discussions come up that can hide that useful information.
This is the "document the solution" problem that has intermittently come up, and it is important to solve.
The wiki is designed to allow anyone to contribute, allow review of those changes and most importantly, archive information in the case this forum ever goes down.
There are also tools to help do this task, such as embedding forum posts in the wiki
For example:
{{< forum-post id=17780 >}}
So, while I don't believe pinning discussions is the right way to solve this problem, I am happy to look into ways to make the wiki more visible, or approachable.
Try it out, if there are roadblocks that are unnecessarily difficult or confusing I can see if they can be addressed. That way it makes it easier for future contributors 🙂
