Been there already, and chatted with Gijs about wiki issue.
Problem with redirects is its gets silly and fuzzy and is stupid imho.
Also the main website administration in now a part of the wiki admin
with this approach, they must "sing together in concert".
We might get into the strange situation where a wiki page cannot be
changed as its linked to from a "main" website, or some other external
influences on the wiki, instead of being a.. constant evolving wiki.
Indeed I think stuff seriously need to be "NUKED" that is wrong, outa
data, or some more editing in places. But thats my view as search engine
do pick up strange things such as linsk to newsgroups etc which can be
spurious.
Ideally what we want is a "page search", but this has its problems
also.. a good example = seach/?q=747
747
747-200
747-4001
B747 etc..
I am experiencing this problem with doing rpc calls to youtube and
achieving a pretty good success rate in filtering, eg Bravo == no
results, 747 = many. Its neat the way the videos come back as one print
xml.content blob. images and all ;-)
Also its noted that using the "xml-set" model name has its problems
also, eg not unique..
The ideal solution would be to create a proper "Aircraft:NameSpace" and
template in the wiki, so as its constantly expand its not going to get
any mote uncontrolable.
eg
/Aircraft:B747 << the set xml
The ideal solution imho is to have an AJAX call on the browser.. No
server problems then..
* RPC "page search"
* indeed even "namespace search" and category search also.
* body.onready( ){
fetch.wiki("wiki.fg.com/page_search/?q=Bravo", function(){
// stick some stuff in sidebar
}
}
I'm sure these are available in wikimedia, or plugins, its just a case
of dropping them in. Otherwise its a pretty easy database hack of
probably <= 5 lines after establishing a database connection with php as
a json query.
