Opened Wiki

[VLoub]

Hello,

I found second MS repo with opened wiki for public update.
dsccommunity/ComputerManagementDsc#296 (comment)

I like DSC and implementing it but i am not sure if GitHub wiki should be my source now 👎

Could some one check rest of them?

Thanks

Hi @VLoub - thanks for raising this. I fixed this a few days ago after it was raised over there. Can you confirm if it is fixed?

I did also check the other ones I maintain. @johlju , @X-Guardian - you might want to check yours. I think there aren't too many more that have Wikis.

I did check ActiveDirectoryDsc and SQLServerDsc as well and it did have the Wiki open. As I have permissions I'll go through and check them myself. Actually many of them have it open. So I'm correcting them.

What setting is this? Is this a setting that need to be set on new repositories we create or is it secure by default? If not we should document this (I can fix that) under https://dsccommunity.org/guidelines/administration#create-github-repository.

I'm sure these were restricted when they were under the PowerShell account.

I’m not sure it was. Not for all repos. But @PlagueHO seemed to have gone through them all and enabled this. Just wonder if this setting is set by default when creating a new repo.

[johlju]

The link said it is only collaborators that are allowed to edit the wiki by default, so we don’t have to worry about this for new repos.

[PlagueHO]

It seemed to be most repos had the Wiki public, except for the ones that have had a Wiki for a while. The exception being ComputerManagementDsc. So I'm not exactly sure when/what caused the setting to not be set.

[johlju]

I'm guessing this setting was not default secure (or even available) to begin with when the repos was created several years ago, like Wikipedia. 🤔 Anyway, good that they have this setting enabled now. Once the repos can support the auto-doc there is no need for anyone to edit the wikis.
