Hi there, My MediaWiki site http://myhostname/documentation is working for the documentation of my software product "Mysoft" version 1. In the future, when Mysoft version 2 is available, the http://myhostname/documentation would be for Mysoft version 2, and http://myhostname/Mysoft-v1 would be pointing to old version.
In this way, the single MW site would have multiple copies/URLs for different Mysoft versions like below: http://myhostname/documentation -> newest version, http://myhostname/Mysoft-v2 -> for Mysoft version 2, http://myhostname/Mysoft-v1 -> for Mysoft version 1.
Is it possible, and how if yes? Any idea would be appreciated, Ross
At [[documentation]] place #REDIRECT [[Mysoft-v1]] to magically send to page Mysoft-v1 when people visit documentation, or {{Mysoft-v1}} to silently place there its content. When version 2 is out, you change the Mysoft-v1 to Mysoft-v2.
No need to create a different wiki for each software version (as Daniel Hoyte suggests), but remember that wikis in the web root are evil.
