Hi @markp,
Just as Max stated, we have not experienced any vandalism on the GitHub Wiki (or our Weblate instance) since its inception. Therefore, we have generally trusted the community to make useful and accurate updates.
We have not created any new GitHub Wiki pages since the launch of this forum, and we currently plan to publish all new user-facing documentation to this site. Migrating the content from the GitHub Wiki has been discussed several times, but the decision on how and whether to make that move has not been finalized.
The documentation for editing forms has been expanded and moved to Discourse from the wiki. This platform allows us to facilitate community discussion, easily add multimedia, and perform quick updates with real-time previews.
When time allows, I expect I will migrate all of the pages from the wiki to this site, but there are no plans in place at this time. The Discourse platform offers a wiki feature, but the decision has been made to restrict editing capabilities to staff members only.
My preference is generally for community feedback/suggestions to go through the forum whenever possible, unless the request/issue may include sensitive information, in which case it should be sent via Email. Our developers often prefer a member of our team to create an issue on GitHub, though the community is welcome to do so if they provide enough detail and follow the new issue template.
If a security vulnerability is discovered in Specify, we ask that users report it via the ‘Report a vulnerability’ button on GitHub.
Community suggestions and revisions are welcome in the replies! Thank you so much for your question, useful revision, and for your interest.
