This sounds like exactly what I've been looking for as well --- a way to
make mediawiki into a bug tracker .. so I can avoid having a whole other
system running for that.....
Mediawiki project itself is of course using Bugzilla .... and it 'looks'
like mediawiki, but it's still a separate system, separate logins, and gah
.. perl! ... so..
If you go ahead with the install of this, post back how it goes for you!
Curious as to ease-of-installation... what version etc...

This looks perfect Max. Thanks!
Hi Tom,
I guess the Semantic MediaWiki extensions might be able to realise
what you have in mind. You would add a [[Category:Issue]] to each
page and a [[status:=open]] or [[status:=pending]] or
[[status:=closed]]. On the main page you can
<ask>[[Category:Issue]][[status:=open]]</ask>
to get a list of open issues.
Come to
http://www.ontoworld.org and take a look a a running
MediaWiki with Semantic MediaWiki installed.
Kind regards,
Max Völkel

Hi, I've used quite a few wikis in the past
but am new to MediaWiki. Any
help
you can give me with my question would be greatly appreciated.
I am migrating my MoinMoin wiki to MediaWiki.
The main reason that I
use the
MoinMoin wiki is because I have thrown together a rudimentary issue
tracker
within it. Here's basically how it works:
* Each "ticket" is represented by a
single wiki page that uses a
particular prefix in its name
* Each ticket contains tags that denote its status, which is something
like
this:
* StatusOpen
* StatusClosed
* StatusPendingDefect
* The main page for this issue tracker, which is itself a wiki page,
contains
macros that allow me to display a "dashboard" of every single ticket
based on
its status. Here's basically what it looks like:
Browse Issues
=============
Open Issues
-----------
1. IssueTracker/This Is Issue A
2. IssueTracker/This Is Issue B
Pending Defect
--------------
1. IssueTracker/This is yet another issue
Closed Issues
-------------
1. IssueTracker/Thank goodness that there are closed issues
* This dashboard view is dynamic. If I create a
new wiki page prefaced
by
"IssueTracker/" and tag it with "StatusOpen", it will automatically
appear
under the "Open Issues" header.
This page is not available on the internet, but I
basically ripped it
off
from
the
http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinMoinBugs page.
So my first question is, is there a plugin like
this available for
MediaWiki
with which anyone is familiar?
If not, then I have a second question. I was
able to implement all of
this
(which ain't too bad in my opinion) using the concept of MoinMoin
macros,
which
are executable functions that you can embed in a wiki page. Is there
similar
functionality available within MediaWiki?
Thanks in advance for all of the help!
