lower the wiki permissions

problem to solve

Currently a GitLab users needs Maintainer or higher status to write in the wiki. This is completely against what wiki stands for, it's guiding principle and philosophy being that everyone can contribute.

Since you cannot give everyone Maintainer status, another solution is needed.
I have 2 solutions to propose, which I feel should both be implemented:

solutions

💡 ~"feature proposal" Add a project setting with a radio box:
allow all GitLab users (GUEST status) to edit the wiki: (*) yes ( ) no

💡 ~"feature proposal" Add a new status above GUEST but below REPORTER, named WIKI which receives all guest permissions plus wiki edit permissions.

If both proposals are implemented, a project owner can decide whether he wants to

  • allow wiki contributions from everyone
  • or give wiki access only to selected GitLab users without having to make them maintainers just for that.
