Opened Wiki聽#541
Description
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 馃憥
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. Johan Ljunggren (@johlju) , Simon Heather (@X-Guardian) - you might want to check yours. I think there aren't too many more that have Wikis.
PlagueHO commentedon Jan 17, 2020
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鈥檓 not sure it was. Not for all repos. But Daniel Scott-Raynsford (@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.

The link said it is only collaborators that are allowed to edit the wiki by default, so we don鈥檛 have to worry about this for new repos.
PlagueHO commentedon Jan 18, 2020
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 commentedon Jan 18, 2020
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. 馃 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.
