WikiPolicy

Navigation Policy

On each page we have :

• sidebar (MediaWiki:Sidebar) : list the most important pages
• topbar (MediaWiki:Sitenotice) : list the several categories; from here all pages can be found

Category Policy

At at end of each page add the following categories :

• always add : [[Category:AllPages]]
• for each category X add : [[Category:X]]

Note: by using the [[Category:AllPages]] category instead of the [[Special:AllPages]] we can hide some pages in the uncategorized space. We can see the pages in the uncategorized space using the special page : Special:UncategorizedPages.

Note: in markup we can be the category links at the top of the page, but they will still be rendered at the end of the page

Tips

• to force toc in page add __TOC__ in page
• to escape content use the <nowiki> ... </nowiki> tags
• Special:Version : lists info wiki + all loaded extensions (see WikiAdmin for more possible extensions)
• Special:AllPages : Listing of really all pages
• Special:Categories : Listing of all categories
• you can include one page contents in another page.

   Example: 
in het Help:Contents page we added the following code : 

 {{:Getting_Started_MediaWiki}}
  
to include Getting Started MediaWiki page

• you can embed an external page into a page using the extension anyweb. 

   <anyweb> http://www.nu.nl </anyweb> 

• By default anyweb includes the page using an iframe and uses javascript to dynamically set the height of this iframe to the height of the current window. Example: Embed However you can tweak this behaviour by the following html attributes :
  • 'minimalheight=200 : if your browser window gets very small, than the iframe height will also be dynamically set very small. By setting a minimal height the iframe's height will never get smaller than this height.
  • extraheight=-50  : adds extra height to the innerframe tag; note that a negative value will make it smaller.
  • fixedheight=300  : By setting the fixedheight attribute the height of the iframe will be fixed to the given value. Then the dynamic height calculation based on window size is disabled! Example:  People RU
• all pages which embed an external page should be put in the Category:Embed. Here you can also find more examples.
