That's trivial and just a matter of writing a single line like [[redirect:Windows/NewWindowsPage]] in the old page. > I have no problem with a separate wiki but: Just to be clear, not a seprarate wiki but a separate group (basically a separate namespace for the page names). > If space is an issue then..... > > A lot of the main page info still refers to both the 1.3.3 and 1.3.5 > setups.

Btw, it's not like there's not room to store the wiki pages on the server... I just brought up this issue because it seemed that it was getting crowded on the pages, i.e. making it difficult to find the relevant information and editing it. > The graphics page also could head for the bin for much the same reason - > it was a page I started with all good intentions of completing but..... lol > Other than that I (and no doubt others) are trimming the main setup page > down as and when possible. > > I guess with arrival of the awaited LyX 1.3.6 there will be no need for > a win wiki anyway ;-) It's good to be an optimist! Anyway, I've gone ahead and created a group called 'Windows'. You can "move" pages to that group if/when you feel like it. Right now that page simply refers to the old pages - well, some of them. http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Windows /Christian -- Christian Ridderström, +46-8-768 39 44 http://www.md.kth.se/~chr
