http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:syslog-ng If you are describing the app and if you are doing some sort of troubleshooting use the SDB namespace

The syslog-ng is application so presentation part that can be interesting to any wiki reader, should be in Main name space, and that is what Peter mentioned: - a very brief description of syslog-ng in template {{Intro| ... descritption}} Google likes that intro part. It takes approximately one or two rows from the first sentence and place it in a search result. I would like that everyone is aware of that and use it to the maximum. - a bit more just below it, that will explain what very short part can't tell, but based on its role in openSUSE. If there is good description on syslog-ng it should be linked. - template {{Infobox| ...}} will give basic details to those that look how to install it using official released version. Installation, configuration, troubleshooting details go in SDB namespace. Presentation article should list all other articles related to syslog-ng, so that people reading presentation can find other stuff. Those links should be in section == See also == as it is usual on other wikis. It would be good if all is connected using navigational bar based on Template:Navbar . If any help is needed we are here, but it would be easier to deal with articles when some content is there, as we (at least me) can't help much with details. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org

How do I get it linked to the rest of the wiki? Should I just add it to applications:system category and it will be automagically get linked?

We use right now horizontal bar with links that is created for each group of pages, using http://en.opensuse.org/Template:Navbar . Example: http://en.opensuse.org/Help:Concept When you look wiki source text you can see: {{Wiki editing navbar}} That is "Template:Wiki editing navbar" created to connect in one group articles: Portal:Wiki Help:Concept Help:Namespace Help:Template Help:Category Help:Icon Help:Todo Looking at source of: http://en.opensuse.org/Template:Wiki_editing_navbar you can see how is used: http://en.opensuse.org/Template:Navbar It is simple {{Navbar |TITLE= ... > ... |CONTENT= ... - ... - ... - ... }} {{ and }} are start and end of Navbar template. Navbar is name of basic template. Vertical bar is parameter separator. TITLE and CONTENT are named parameters. All after "=" sign is printed out until parser hits next vertical bar. We create navbar templates for each group of articles in order to have single place to edit when we want to add or remove some articles from the group. As you can see here is all created manually and when one wants to add an article to the group change is manual. The other option present only on a few pages is my experiment with vertical navigational bar placed on right side, that is using same type of the code as vertical bars on Portal pages: <div style="width:30%; float:right"> {{Box-header|<title>||}} * [[link1]] * [[link2]] * [[link3]] * etc links {{Box-footer|}} </div> You can see, as example: http://en.opensuse.org/Help:Examples_of_bad_article_title Advantage of this approach is that you can put much more links without loosing readability. You can see in source text that I added whole "Category:Wiki help" (using <categorytree> tags), and navbar is still not overcrowded. This would be actually example of navbar that has almost 0 maintenance provided that people put articles in categories, which is something that is "must be done" anyway. The only problem with this example is that it is not created as template, so there is no 1 central place to change it, which is btw, problem with all user pages that use similar structure for basic contact information. Yours too :) I'll see how to help, but this weekend I'll be busy, but I'll try to help as described above. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org
