wiki 2.0 to wiki 1.0

hi rachel.
since the reason for the change is to give more control why not add the option to allow anyone to edit my wiki? What I'm looking for is Wikipedia style editing: anyone can see the page, click edit to make changes, then save their work. I can monitor and roll back bad changes. The account creation requirement is simply too much to ask of my audience.

"Is there a way to turn a 2.0 wiki into a 1.0 wiki?"

To answer your question, no. They will not convert your wiki to 1.0.

Hi there jonathangrubb! Your best bet would be to create a 1.0 wiki, make it public, and publish the invite key on the front page. Anyone will be able to log in and make edits then.

Hey everyone. Please keep in mind that Guy Fawkes is not a representative of PBwiki and his information is incorrect. We cannot say for certain right now whether or not we will migrate wikis back but we're looking into it and an official PBwiki rep will make an announcement if this becomes a possibility.

Hey everyone. Please note the bold text in this PBwiki blog post by Paul Singh, Rachel's boss, who clearly states, for the record:

Most importantly, when you switch to PBwiki 2.0 you won’t be able to revert back to 1.0.

While he was speaking about people who convert from 1.0 to 2.0, and not specifically about new 2.0 wikis, that quote remains, to date, the only published guidance they have announced related to this issue. Other posters have asked, here in GS, whether they could revert back to 1.0, and their questions were ignored. If PBwiki has new information regarding this issue, they would do well to answer straightforward questions honestly and openly, without resorting to marketspeak about "giving us more control".

Thanks, Paul. Until such time as that feature has been "enabled", I will modify my responses to state "PBwiki is unable to convert a 2.0 back to 1.0, but reserves the right to enable this feature if it becomes available."

Thanks.

okay I'm gonna pitch my two cents in here hope it isn't to ill received. Although Guy is technically

"not a representative of PBwiki"

The reason that there are help forums like this one is so that users can help users. If you all would like to take over answering all the questions yourselves go ahead, but I don't think our credit is that far in the red yet. Is it?

Even after an official said Guy was wrong another one had to come back and say hey that isn't true he was right at the moment.

I mean ouch If I post an answer that is correct and I am meet with that kind of response I'm gonna be pretty apprehensive to post anything again. Lets just all play nice.

Transitioning 2.0 wikis back to 1.0 is something we don't intend to be part of the larger plan for PBwiki. We want to be always moving forward, always being better than the last thing, learning from what we did wrong and what we did right. That a significant amount of our users prefer 1.0 to 2.0 tells us we did some things really good there, and we need to find ways to implement them in 2.0.

We're doing a lot of testing right now on transitions in both directions, and it's a slow, detailed process, which is why we aren't allowing just anyone to change their wiki, we're doing it slowly, with just a few people, and keeping a very close watch for any problems that may occur.

So at some point, we may allow users to change their wikis from 2.0 to 1.0. But eventually, we want everyone on the same page, and that will mean moving everyone to 2.0. And 3.0. And onward.

And back to the original question, we're doing a lot more work on the Invite Key issue - I can't promise it'll work exactly like it does in 1.0, but we're going to try to find the best possible solution, because having large numbers of users is a very significant issue, and we want to get it right.
