Version 1 is focused on using the actual wiki block only (search for /wiki). So no, you cannot turn any block into a wiki. Also, for now only basic formatting and image uploading is available. This is enough for most blog articles or text-heavy website sections.
Your content remains intact. There are clean up options in the settings. There is also the ability to clean up everything on uninstall if you would like.
Absolutely! You can set permissions globally and per-block for suggesting changes, browsing history, and merging versions.
Yes, Wiki Blocks is designed to work with any WordPress theme and follows WordPress coding standards.
Version history is stored in the database and can be exported using standard WordPress database export tools.
The plugin includes an uninstall option that can completely remove all wiki data when the plugin is deleted.
