I think the wiki should be on the first and last page

-Should the Wiki be under the OP instead of above the OP?

No.

-Should the Wiki be viewable by non-registered lurkers or should this be used as an incentive for lurkers to join the community?

No. The whole point of the wiki is to prevent confusion, and make information easy to find. Or to summarize the entire thread. Hiding it from unregistered users would just keep that confusion in place.

-Should Gold elite (100+ posts) be allowed to make Wiki edits or should it stay as a Platinum elite feature (250+ posts)

Platinum. If anything, higher.

-Change edit link to a button (more noticeable and keeps smf standard convention)

Yes.

- Perhaps make the entire bar clickable to expand/contract the Wiki?

Yes.

Feature request: add a button to quote the wiki in a new post (similar to the existing "Quote" button on every post).

Also, I agree with those who say that there should be some way of knowing when the wiki's been added/edited. Either a separate button, or some way of integrating it into the existing "Show new replies to your posts", or something else... but definitely something.

You can always use the quote /quote in brackets, to quote. I think that will make for a messy experience especially if the wikis grow long (as they should).

I think at the very least the wiki should be under the pages numbers/reply and other buttons. It almost doesn't look like part of the thread the way it is now

Then it could be confusing as one might think that he's replying to the wiki.

Perhaps the wiki should have a different colored background, to make it even clearer that it's not a regular post?

How about we just leave the wiki the way it is for a month or so? Then it might be easier to see what works.
