We are looking at using Mediawiki as the source of
information for our
IT infrastructure. Since Wikipedia is a giant knowledge base, why not
our IT docs?
Here are a couple of questions that we have.
1) There are many existing docs, some of which we would like to move
into MW. We can save a word document to *.html (using this we get a
warning from word that it might not be able to use the format :) but we
get a lot of extra bits. It appears that the style classes it creates
at the beginning are not usable in the wiki document.
As mentioned before Word2MediaWikiPlus, but that is a one way street.
For Excel you can use
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Helferlein/VBA-Macro_for_EXCEL_tableā¦
2) As we move forward we are looking to create a
'template' for the
various types of documents we have including Project Scope, Project
Technical Design and Project Functional Design.
I have been looking at the docs and 'templates' and wonder if I have
missed something. Is there an easy way to create a 'template' (a
complete page with all tables, headings etc create) and then when you
want a new page simply bring that document in instead of the blank edit
panel
This is a three-step process:
a) create your template, usally with variables
b) create a sample page, which must be protected against changes
( install the input box extension
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Inputbox)
d) create an input box with the attribut preload=template sample
3) As we all know, change can be a very intimidating
thing. With this
in mind we are looking for ways to be able to edit, especially new
documents, with some form of WYSIWYG type editor. Is there any that
have been used successfully with MW? Any stories that you would like to
share on how you use these
i don't recommend the yet available solutions. a half day introduction
to your co-workers will do a better job.
