Opened Wiki about dscresources HOT 8 OPEN

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.

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.

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.

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.
