You are welcome :) Problem is that we have something like bug in advanced search that "hides" page that exist right on the top of search window, instead to report it below search field. Whole group "Page title matches" is sometimes missing. The old wiki has that right, and it is the same MediaWiki version as the new wiki, so it is something about settings or extensions that are installed in a new wiki. I'm trying to find configuration files before I file bug report on that, so that system admins have easier job to fix, but I lost the link :( -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org

I found that [[Report_a_Bug]] was the name of that page, on the old wiki, and articles in the new wiki also refernce it by that name. I've created it as yet-another-#redirect. I also found that the wiki search sucks in another unexpected way: (maybe related to what Rajko described below) A user who types 'bug report' in the search box, gets nothing. It appears that page title matches are 'exact matches', not substring matches. They are even case sensitive, so the uppercase B in 'Report a Bug' matters. cheers, JW-

I agree that we should talk and explain, so that people refrain from old habits in creating new articles, or transferring old content to the new wiki without adjustment to a new structure, but temporary relief must be provided right now.

Yes. I am not trying to subvert any policies. I created links in an attempt to plant the landing pages and seed keywords, so that links into our wiki get a chance. I'll from now on name the references that I know of in the Talk:* page of the redirects that I create. Is that okay?

A redirect in the main namespace from Bugs to openSUSE:Submitting_bug_reports is trying to enhance a single, random search query (you deem important somehow) by circumventing the content seperation for the target audience. You are bringing back what we don't want: A main namespace where you can only find stuff if you already know what you're looking for. You are directly subverting the namespace policy and say "I am not trying to subvert any policies". If you have an external link that we can't fix we can talk about a redirect (we have a couple of them for the Li-f-e CD or recent news postings). If you want that the consumer finds something meaningful for the searchterm "bugs" you have to add and explain the term on Portal:Support. Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.

This raises two important points: - How do we decide what important search keywords are? - How can we make it that the search engine finds them? For the first point, a) we can e.g. react to, what we learn from failed queries. b) But what do we do, if we (wiki-team) disagrees, about the level of importance? I did a) but have no clue about b). For the second point, the anwer appears to be 'add it to a portal page.' This is a cool thing, because it helps the search engine searches there, but I fear it has has exactly the same problem as adding to main: Sooner or later everything will be in Portal:*.
You are bringing back what we don't want: A main namespace where you can only find stuff if you already know what you're looking for.
Au contraire. I want more than one name to lead to the same thing. Not necessarily all the things in main. I failed to find a better tool than #redirect to express this idea.

didn't you intend to write: Stop bringing back with redirects the old stupid unsorted sucking wiki which users _could_ find stuff in! And, some (users and user helpers) have long lists of bookmarks/URLs to. And links which are STILL embedded in forum, mail list postings, blogs, and etc as part of *still* valid how-to-fix-this or how-to-setup-that notes... STOP making it possible for folks to FIND what they need while someone else makes it possible to a search for stuff!!
