17:06:13 <colindixon> #topic subpages
17:07:23 <colindixon> #line https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Subpages the help page on subpages
17:08:16 <colindixon> #link https://wiki.opendaylight.org/view/Documentation the documentation page is a good example of how to use subpages
17:12:55 <phrobb> #info colindixon notes that most ODL projects use colons to separate pages and subpages... we should use "/" instead as you get "breadcrumbs" automagically  in that event... also, moving pages will also move subpages
17:18:54 <phrobb> #info colindixon says that in short, "/" works much better than ":" for naming subpages
17:19:18 <phrobb> #topic ToC Mgmt
17:19:54 <colindixon> #link https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual%3aTable_of_contents formal docs for table of contents management
17:20:05 <phrobb> #info ToCs are autogenterated before the first section of a page when there are at least 3 sections on a given page
17:20:35 <phrobb> #info If you put text about the first section, it will appear *before* the ToC.
17:21:21 <phrobb> #info you can suppress the ToC by adding __NOTOC__ at the top of a  page
17:21:40 <phrobb> #undo
17:21:45 <colindixon> #chair phrobb
17:21:45 <odl_meetbot> Current chairs: colindixon phrobb
17:22:15 <phrobb> #info Correct, the __NOTOC__ can be anywhere on the page and it will suppress the ToC
17:22:47 <phrobb> #info adding "__TOC__" will place the ToC at that spot on the wiki page
17:23:24 <phrobb> #topic nowiki
17:25:12 <phrobb> #info when you want to show what text in wiki formatting *before* it gets rendered by the wiki, then add <nowiki> and </nowiki> to remove all wiki rendereding
17:25:14 <colindixon> #link https://wiki.opendaylight.org/view/Template:Project_Facts this page shows examples of how to use <nowiki>
17:26:53 <phrobb> #topic Moving pages and redirects
17:29:11 <colindixon> #info when you move a page it automatically turns the old one into a redirect to the new one
17:29:29 <colindixon> #info the redirect sytax is the whole page being "#REDIRECT [[<page-name>]]"
17:29:55 <colindixon> #info it's occasionally useful to change an entire page to a redirect instead of deleting it if there is some new page with better content for the same stuff
17:30:03 <colindixon> #topic what links here
17:31:01 <colindixon> #info in the left navigation there is a link labeled "what links here" and it shows all wiki pages that link to the current one
17:31:36 <colindixon> #topic special pages
17:31:42 <colindixon> #link https://wiki.opendaylight.org/view/Special:SpecialPages
17:35:53 <colindixon> #topic view history

17:36:25 <colindixon> #info if you click on a date it will take to the page after that edit
17:38:27 <colindixon> #info if you click permanent link on the left, it will give you a lijnk to the current revision which won't change over time
