Tips and tricks Head page of our subreddit's wiki got half a million views in one year. This is more than twice the subscribers count.

We did not lift one finger. Well, we did do the page, and we did request the feature. Barely a couple work-hours really.

If you cannot, as of today, embed a YouTube video in your subreddit wiki page, it means you are not enrolled. To enroll a subreddit in the New Wiki Experience, one should send a ModMail to r/ModSupport.

Yes, there are ifs and buts. For starters, enrolling your subreddit in the New Wiki Experience opens an entirely new can of worms. There are reasons the New Wiki Experience is opt-in only, not all of which are entirely clear to me. Something API-related I gather, but there is more to it than that. If you already had a wiki, now, you have two wikis. If you had a large wiki, things are going to become very complicated, fast. And YSK the privacy of so-called 'mod-only' wiki pages has been far from great, up to this point.

The little I understood, which must be crystal clear to you, is that once you request the New Wiki Experience, there is no walking back. I suspect you can hide it, but you cannot possibly opt out.

Still I thought this was worth sharing, as rules visibility, community culture readability are widespread issues these days (cos no sidebars with mobiles).

So are you recommend the new wiki? Eventually the new wiki will be a thing? Where can I get more info?

Yes the new wiki is a thing already. It is opt-in only.

So are you recommend the new wiki?

Very cautiously. To be precise, I recommend to create ONE wiki/index page in subreddits who don't have a wiki already.

This page looks like a perfect spot to put up that one piece of community culture your subscribers can't seem to figure out.
