I am building a wiki for an author and will have alphabetical guides
to 4 of his novels. I have read about namespaces and categories and
wonder what is the best way to do this. It appears that creating a
namespace for each novel would be the way to go.
I understand that I'll have to add them in the LocalSettings.php
file. I understand that I can use numbers 100+ in the array of new
namespaces, and that even numbers are for regular pages and odd
numbers are for discussion pages.
Then, to create the alpha page "A" for the novel "GR" the link would be:
[[GR:A|Gertrude's Dilemma - A]] (that's a pipe after the A)
If someone could point me to what the additions would be in
LocalSettings.php, that'd be great.
I understand that the default search would search all 4 novel's
namespaces. Also, registered users would be able to edit pages in any
of the 4 namespaces.
I already created an A-Z menu of links, eg GR_-_A, GR_-_B, etc. I
assume that after I've added the namespaces in LocalSettings.php, I
can move/rename these pages to GR:A, GR:B, etc., yes?
Finally, if I've created a discussion namespace for a novel and I
want to add a discussion link after one particular entry on an
alphabetical listing page, what is the syntax for this?
Thanks. Tim
