Looking good! Maybe (Im not sure about this) it might be an idea to
link to:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ACategoryTree&target=MainIndex&mode=categories&dotree=Show+tree
instead, as it is easier to navigate.
You're right, this is easier to navigate (at least the information is
not spread over many pages). However, I'm having trouble (in preview
mode) inserting that URL as a link (the text inside the
Documentation/Note template reverts to {{{1}}}) - Bjorn or Clayton,
could you please do this?
Fixed. The problem you were encountering is caused by the = signs in
the URL. The details/reasons it broke are:
- The SpecialPage showing the Category tree cannot be linked via a
normal Wiki link (ie a [[wiki page name]] link). It must be linked as
an external URL.
- The external URL contains key/value pairs used to generate the
Category tree each time it's clicked. The key/value pairs use the =
sign to link the two together (key1=value1&key2=value2 and so on).
- MediaWiki Templates use = signs to designate parameter names, so
everything up to the first = sign in the URL was treated as a parameter
name. The result was the Template broke and all you get is {{{1}}} in
the Wiki page.
The "fix" is actually easy... just wrap the = signs in the custom URL
with {{ and }}. So, every = in the URL should actually be {{=}}. This
calls a custom MediaWiki template that inserts the = where it needs to
be in the URL and all is happy with the Template :-)
There's also another small issue: namely, some HTML code (<p><br
/></p>) seems to be inserted after the template, resulting in quite a
large gap between the copyright notice and the buttons. Trouble is, I
can't actually find it inside the Copyrightwarning2 template :(
Fixed. It was just some extra hard returns lurking around in the
Template and in the Copyrightwarning2 page.
