Hi Robert, I put some stuff on there but my knowledge of wiki is only sketchy, so I have left a page where all the capitalized words have got a question mark after them for creating new pages.
I couldn't find any wiki instructions anywhere - if you give me a good
link, I can post it on the first page.
Good Idea ! http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?ApacheWiki
Thanks ! I am pretty Wiki unsavvy myself. I typically see what other people have done, then edit that page and copy their format. I know I am probably picking up bad habits, but it works. Scott Eade - Announced the Wiki so he likely knows what he is doing
The only thing I might add is that if possible when creating pages prepend 'validator' to the page name, to make it unique in the ApacheWiki.
OK, so are you saying that to add something to the Wiki, it is as simple as navigating to a page where you want to add some text, and using the "Edit text of this page" link?
For example on the Validator FAQ page, I can edit the text to add a new heading. And if I use the MixedCase formatting, that will become a link to a new page, then I can add the detail on that new page?
Also, where do the question marks come from that link to adding a new page? I was looking at the text for a page containing a heading with an "add page question mark" link, but there was nothing in the actual page text that looked to create the question mark link. Or maybe <light bulb goes on /> if you create a link with MixedCase text and don't put anything on the linked page, it will show the "?" until there is something in it? I was thinking the "?" meant you could continuously add new pages for a specific text link.
Is that basically all there is to it?
It sounds like you have been reading the manual, I just read it this morning also ! ;-) !
The rules are very simple, and few. For instance some Wiki's won't let you rename pages. Others will.
You can create tables, and annotate text, etc... I haven't seen anything like comboboxes, or fancy
controls. Etc...
The best thing is since there is version control it's easy to UnDo a Mistake. I was looking in the
logs and some kid, deleted a page for one of the XML project pages and instead left the message
'you suck'. Someone discovered the change 2 hours later and restored the content to the original.
