phil333, so we ran into another challenge with this. We have set up a wiki library for wiki pages as a knowledge base for our users.

Has anyone else run into this issue and resolved it? We are using a Communication Site template. Thanks in advance for any ideas.
I don't have a solution to this I'm afraid, but as former owner of a wiki development company I'm still surprised that anybody uses Microsoft's wiki in SharePoint. It was rubbish when it was released all those years ago and never got better because they never put any effort into developing it. At my company we now just use ordinary site pages for collaboration and knowlegebases.

- Thank you Rob, yeah those wiki libraries are kind of useless and don't even provide basic functionality like a table on contents. This pretty much seals my fate and using regular site pages seems like the only solution. I did manage to find an app developer that is creating a solution to be able to copy and paste an entire word document into a site page including images in one web part and are working on adding the table on contents feature as well.
Best,
Paul.
