SharePoint Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for SharePoint enthusiasts. It's 100% free, no registration required.

I create a new wiki pages library (on SharePoint Foundation 2010) and create some new custom fields (1 choice and 1 text). When I create a new Wiki Page these custom fields are not shown on the web interface. I have to go on the ribbon and choose Edit Properties to see them.

Is there any way to show these custom fields on the page during editing?

I wrote a blog post to do exactly what you describe. You can find that post right here.

Be sure to note that my post adds the controls only to a publishing page of a certain content type. You can remove the check for the Publishing page and it should work well for you.

You would probably need to customize the page layout used by that wiki site -but I am not an expert on that topic.

Another way of editing these metadata is going to the site library where the wiki pages are stored and then adding you custom fields to the current view. But of course that pretty far away from that what you wanted.
