    the webex recording from that day  (colindixon, 17:05:15)
  * we covered: templates, trasclusion, and categories  (colindixon,
    17:05:52)

* subpages  (colindixon, 17:06:13)
  * LINK: https://wiki.opendaylight.org/view/Documentation the
    documentation page is a good example of how to use subpages
    (colindixon, 17:08:16)
  * 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  (phrobb, 17:12:55)
  * colindixon says that in short, "/" works much better than ":" for
    naming subpages  (phrobb, 17:18:54)
  * LINK: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual%3aTable_of_contents
    formal docs for table of contents management  (colindixon, 17:19:54)
  * ToCs are autogenterated before the first section of a page when
    there are at least 3 sections on a given page  (phrobb, 17:20:05)
  * If you put text about the first section, it will appear *before* the
    ToC.  (phrobb, 17:20:35)
  * you can suppress the ToC by adding __NOTOC__ at the top of a  page
    (phrobb, 17:21:21)
  * Correct, the __NOTOC__ can be anywhere on the page and it will
    suppress the ToC  (phrobb, 17:22:15)
  * adding "__TOC__" will place the ToC at that spot on the wiki page
    (phrobb, 17:22:47)

* nowiki  (phrobb, 17:23:24)
  * 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  (phrobb, 17:25:12)
  * LINK: https://wiki.opendaylight.org/view/Template:Project_Facts this
    page shows examples of how to use <nowiki>  (colindixon, 17:25:14)

* Moving pages and redirects  (phrobb, 17:26:53)
  * when you move a page it automatically turns the old one into a
    redirect to the new one  (colindixon, 17:29:11)
  * the redirect sytax is the whole page being "#REDIRECT
    [[<page-name>]]"  (colindixon, 17:29:29)
  * 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  (colindixon, 17:29:55)

* what links here  (colindixon, 17:30:03)
  * in the left navigation there is a link labeled "what links here" and
    it shows all wiki pages that link to the current one  (colindixon,
    17:31:01)

* special pages  (colindixon, 17:31:36)
  * LINK: https://wiki.opendaylight.org/view/Special:SpecialPages
    (colindixon, 17:31:42)

* view history  (colindixon, 17:35:53)
  * if you click on the view history tab of any page, you'll see it's
    edit history  (colindixon, 17:36:10)
  * if you click on a date it will take to the page after that edit
    (colindixon, 17:36:25)
  * if you click permanent link on the left, it will give you a lijnk to
    the current revision which won't change over time  (colindixon,
    17:38:27)
  * that's useful for linking frequently changed stuff (like agendas)
    into meetings  (colindixon, 17:38:41)
