The Physical Lincoln: Wiki technical

From Lincolnwiki

These are notes to myself. They are not meant for public edification.

• To change title of the main page: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:FAQ says to edit the page: MediaWiki:Mainpage

• Bug list

• How to add a finding:
  • Add statement of the form: { { obs2 | Finding | finding value } }
  • The finding's name will be a hyperlink. Click on it.
  • The finding's page content should be (at a minimum): { { findingTable } }
  • In the resulting table, click on the column-head corresponding to the finding's name.
  • The property-finding's page content should be: [ [ has type::type:string ] ] { { findingAsProperty } }
  • Now you have to go back and make sure all the cross-indexing is performed.
    • Edit and save the image page.
    • Edit and save the finding page.
  • Now the finding table should look nice: none of the column heads are red, and the finding values are all simple strings.
  • All of these steps are not necessary when the finding and property-finding have already been defined.

• To change left-side navigation menu, go to: MediaWiki:Sidebar
  • Original contents were:

navigation mainpage|mainpage portal-url|portal currentevents-url|currentevents recentchanges-url|recentchanges randompage-url|randompage helppage|help sitesupport-url|sitesupport

• Need to clean up some template usage: correct sidedness, unknown sidedness, compatible sidedness, consistent sidedness.
• Am not sure the "property:comment" datafield should be retained.
