This fork contains a few changes to the permissions system. Most of them are were contributed to upstream, but not accepted, in PR8013. We have since migrated to V3 and will contribute similar features in the future.

A modern, lightweight and powerful wiki app built on NodeJS

Alacrity-Education Fork

This fork fixes how Wiki.js evaluates page rule specificity when a user belongs to multiple groups with overlapping rules.

Problem: The upstream code compares rule specificity using raw string length (rule.path.length), causing higher-priority match types to lose against longer path strings.

Fix: Each match type now gets a deterministic specificity score. The full priority chain, from lowest to highest:

1. Path Starts With — segments + separators (e.g. Projects/secret = 3)
2. Path Ends With — same formula + 0.5
3. Path Matches Regex — MAX_SAFE_INTEGER - 2
4. Tag Matches — MAX_SAFE_INTEGER - 1
5. Path is Exactly — MAX_SAFE_INTEGER

At equal specificity, DENY overrides ALLOW. No other tie-breaking is needed.

Page tree fix: The upstream tree resolver passes only path and locale to access checks, making TAG and REGEX rules invisible in the sidebar. This fork fetches each page's tags from the database and passes them through. Folders that would otherwise be hidden are shown if any descendant page passes the access check, so tag-only or regex-only rules still produce a navigable tree.

Docker images are published to ghcr.io/alacrity-education/wikijs.
