1. As the documentation indicates, there's no support for working

- i.e., they are not really wiki-like. Or am I missing something?
Is there a way to do real wiki-like things in Fossil (editing,
versioning, etc.)?
Hello and welcome to Fossil,
It sounds like you're missing the proper editing rights. Make sure
that you turn on the "edit wiki" rights in the /admin page. It's
correct that wiki pages do not partake in the whole
branching/merging/and whatnot - they are maintained linearly. The big
advantage of embedded docs vis-a-vis the wiki is that they _do_
partake in branching, which means that a user can point the state of
the docs in any given branch. The wiki UI provides no mechanism for
fetching/comparing older wiki pages (the JSON API does).
I'm the superuser, and I've explicitly set all the rights. I also seem
to be able to create and edit basic wiki pages.
Actually my question was, are embedded documentation pages editable
through the web gui?
2. The documentation talks about event pages, stating "There is a
hyperlink under the /Wiki menu that can be used to create new
events. And there is a submenu hyperlink on event displays for
editing existing events." I don't see these. Again, am I missing
something?
That's "probably" due to the missing wiki rights - make sure you have
all the necessary rights (note that "just" having the "a" (Admin)
rights does not imply all other rights like it does in many systems).
Again, I do seem to have all rights, and can edit normal wiki pages. I
just don't see any distinct hyperlink for events. Hmm...
Thanks,
Miles
