Hi, all,
I've been maintaining a small, personal Wiki site (using TWiki) for a
couple of years now and would like to migrate my content over to
MediaWiki. My primary problem right now is figuring out how to keep
several unrelated topics on one site insulated from each other.
I've throroughly read the user guide's section on organization and still
cannot find out how I can insulate my various topics from each other.
Namespaces appear to be the beginning of what I'm looking for, as they
help organize content. However, I want to be sure that if someone is
using a page in one namespace and they create a new link that it will be
created in the same namespace.
>From what I've read in the documentation, this isn't possible. Unless I
enforce that all of my editors must qualify their links with their
namespace's name--which is an unreasonable policy for my site--links to
unqualified pages will create documents in the global namespace, right?
Ideally, I wish that new, unqualified links in a page in a given
namespace would create pages in that same namespace. My understanding
is that this is not how things work today, though.
How can I have one content group grow in a manner that in no way
interacts with another? (For those of you that know TWiki, they call
this organization component a "web".) Do I have to duplicate the
directory structure and make different SQL DBs for each?
Thanks!
Scott
