hi everyone,
I`m currently setting up a wiki based on mediawiki to be used as it-knowledge
base and qm-system for technicians and endusers.
Skin change and optimization (like changing order of all sidebar elements),
disabling anonymous edit/registration and such went smooth.
But right now, I`m hitting some serious roadblocks, and unable to digg out
answers on the web, i`m asking here for help.
#1: different types of documents
There a several kinds of documents: specifications, install- and usage guides,
projekt plans, checklists and such.
Q: Is there a way to have a template per doctype?
#2: Own tags and influence on the search capabilities?
If i decide to use a 'homegrown' tag-scheme to markup different document types
(e.g. an extension that makes docbook - markup usable inside wiki-code), how
does this influence the search?
Is the <something> </somthing>- tag ignored but the content inside the tag
still made aviable to fulltext search?
#3:View/Search permissions by category?
Q:If i want to seperate techie and user information - would having seperate
namespaces for both and a common one (for general information concerning
both) solve that problem?
If an user starts a search it should only search the 'user' and 'common'
namespace, not the 'techie' one.
#4: Templates
Q: I`ve found very few templates/template examples for use in corporate wikis
- and zero information about 'default' templates already builtin in
mediawiki.
Perhaps i`ve been looking in the wrong places - any hints to template
examples/copy-pastable sets would be VERY great.
I have a LOT more questions, but I`m trying to fight them down on my own :)
If i get this project done, I`m planing to put a 'using mediawiki in a
corporate environment guide' online :)
Many thanks,
dwe
