So, the question is: The page [1] should be a list of links to the other pages like in [2], where we can list all the LUG's (no matter the Lang), and the final page, where we put all the group content could be like [3]?
Or how should we organize this in a good and efficient way for the future?
Thanks in advance for all your help. :D
Don't use subpages. There is no directory structure in the wiki. All pages are dynamically created and all are at server root. Slash (/) in the title looks bad when used instead of space, and many more problems made Wikipedia to ban subpages except under strictly defined conditions.
Better http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Linux_user_groups That should be the start. Navigation using categories. Category can be displayed using CategoryTree. See http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Support navigation for samples of usage until I get time to write instructions.
You can see that articles in category don't need slash. You can create a tree structure with categories, where you can start with either item LUG, Continent, Country, or just add 3 categories to each article: [[Category:LUG]] [[Category:<Contintent>]] [[Category:<Country>]] When you need articles for specific LUG/South_America/Venezuela then use extension Intersection: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Intersection The only problem is that articles should have title by name of the LUG like GoSVE . If there is 2 with the same name add part of location, typically city, as differentiation. Wikipedia is using something like: Smolt (linux) to make difference between small fish smolt and linux project Smolt.
No. Playing with colon (:) in the article title is call for trouble. It is usually used as namespace designation like in Portal:Linux_user_groups and if we decide to create LUG namespace, all articles created prior to namespace creation, with LUG: in the tile will disappear. They will be in database, but MediaWiki will be unable to access them. MediaWiki does not create namespaces on the fly, like some other wikis, but stores articles like LUG:GoSVE in main namespace. When you create such namespace it will be stored in different way and that is the reason that they will disappear. I would go to the Wikipedia and see how they handle such matter. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_User_Group also http://www.linux.org/groups/ -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org
