[opensuse-wiki] Maintainer for Virtualization?
by Tom Miller 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Is there a maintainer for Virtualization? I am doing a lot of self learning and thought it would make sense to update the Wiki with the information that I am gathering. First thing that is troubling is that Virtualization stuff is spread out all over the wiki and not in one "branch". I would really like to clean this stuff up if I am going to be adding a lot of information to the Wiki. Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

I have feeling that you are looking on openSUSE web page as a normal web page. While layout is somewhat changed it is a wiki based on Mediawiki software like Wikipedia, though on openSUSE wiki editing is limited to users that have Novell account, that is easy to obtain. Click on top right link "Create an account or log in" and the rest is selfexplanatory. Anonymous editing like on Wikipedia is not possible on openSUSE wiki. After you are logged in, you can create new pages, move content of existing to new title etc, which will result in new article structure. No need for special administrative privileges, that exist, but only few Novell employees have that kind of access. Deleting pages is reserved for sysop accounts, more common practice is to move pages using link "move" at the bottom of each page, in line with history, edit, article, discussion, which will leave original article title with redirect instruction, so that existing links from other pages will function. If you want to reuse existing title than you have to find what pages are linked to that title and relink them to point to new one. The menu on left hand side offers Toolbox and there is link "What Links Here" that will list all pages that link to the current page. Common wiki practice, which I find easier to implement, is to create article with most generic title and list links to pages that handle subtopics. They call this disambiguation page, but it can be also normal article about generic topic that includes links to subtopics. This kind will fit well in your presetation. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org
