====== How to Wiki ====== | ~~GOTO>wiki/howto~~ |
| |
Dokuwiki is a fairly simple program to use, and features a nice toolbar for doing markup. However, just typing words in the box and clicking "save" isn't enough to really do Tanasinn //the right way//™ . | |
| |
Before you begin, [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/wiki:syntax|Read the Dokuwiki syntax guide!]] | |
| |
====== Starting an article ===== | |
Before you begin work on your [[:autism|magnum opus]], ask yourself: can my page actually serve a need? If not, it will probably just end up being 2 or 3 sentences of useless garbage. It's fine to write a draft, but before you publish it, understand what role the page will play in the greater scheme of the wiki. | |
| |
Begin the page with a top level headline ( ''<nowiki>====== Title ======</nowiki>'', that's 6 ='s on each side) and then add ''<nowiki>{tag>new}</nowiki>'' on the bottom of the page to add its initial category. | |
| |
===== Writing an article ===== | |
- Don't think. | |
- Feel. | |
| |
After you have your header and category at the top of the page, think about what "sections" your page should show. Give them titles, but use 5 equals instead of 6 around the header. If any of these sections require more indepth discussion, follow the introductory paragraph with 4 = equals signs. As you write your article, if you ever encounter any topics that may deserve a future page of their own, drop a link like ''<nowiki>[[page_name|some cool page]]</nowiki>''. | |
| |
Have fun with the fact that you're written for our wikipedia! Throw in serious or goofy footnotes with ''<nowiki>((double parentheses))</nowiki>''((anus)) to "facts" just like you would on Wikipedia. | |
| |
===== Redirection ===== | |
This is sometimes necessary, if the **What Links Here** shows that the page you're moving has enough remote pages linking to your current location. | |
| |
If you wanted to redirect '':howto'' to '':new:howto'', you should put this on the original page: | |
| |
''<nowiki>~~GOTO>new:howto~~</nowiki>'' | |
| |
===== Broader projects ===== | |
Working on a project? Dokuwiki is not just a directory of webpages that are interlinked; it also supports "namespaces" (think directories). For an example of a project, look at [[:games:|:games:]]. | |
| |

==== How to namespace ==== | |
In the URL, a namespace looks like "/topic/pagename" or "/topic/sub/pagename". Here's some tips to get started. | |
| |
Read [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/namespaces|the documentation]] if you need to know more. | |
| |
- Go to '':category'' (aka '':category:start'') | |
- ''<nowiki><nspages></nowiki>'' lists all pages in the directory ([[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:nspages|documentation]]) | |
- If there's a tag, ''<nowiki>{{topic>category}}</nowiki>'' lists tagged pages ([[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:tag#topic|documentation]]) | |
- Within the namespace, link to a sibling page like ''<nowiki>[[page]]</nowiki>'' | |
- Link to a page in another namespace like ''<nowiki>[[:root]], [[:page]], [[:namespace:page]]</nowiki>'', etc | |
| |
===== SJIS Art Blocks ===== | |
Note the capitalization: ''<nowiki><WRAP sjis><code> test</code></WRAP></nowiki>'' allows for a block of SJIS art inside it. Thank you [[:killsushi]] for pulling off that miracle on [[:dqn_date|September 10268, 1993]]. | |
