==The Wiki and WikiDocs== |
|||
In the future the MusicBrainzWiki will be the source for ''all'' content of [[MusicBrainz]]. There will only be very few exceptions (about 20 pages that form the [[Main Site Structure|MainSiteStructure]]). |
|||
In the [[WikiDocs Concept|WikiDocsConcept]] the MusicBrainzWiki is seen as a ''community''. This community uses, changes and develops the content of docs, help pages, discussions, guidelines etc. The wiki community has been very efficient in doing this because bot the experts (the solution providers) ''and'' the non-experts (the question posers) collaborate in the same space. |
|||
Thus, most of the wiki will be open for everyone to edit. We will not control the content in the wiki. We will, however, excerce some control over that part of the wiki's content which is integrated into the [[Main Site|MainSite]]. This happens via the [[Moderated Wiki Mirror|ModeratedWikiMirror]]. |
|||
===Accessing the Wiki=== |
|||
The MusicBrainzWiki will be accessible in two ways: |
|||
# as a wiki, and |
|||
# through a [[Wiki Web Service|WikiWebService]] |
|||
====Accessing the Wiki as a Wiki (via MoinMoin)==== |
|||
If you access the wiki through the [[Moin Moin|MoinMoin]] interface, you will be able to edit (nearly) all pages. This interface (I think they are called "themes" in [[Moin Moin|MoinMoin]]) should have a look and feel that is ''similar to but still distinct from'' the [[Main Site|MainSite]]. I suggest somthing like a light violet background, or perhaps an icon. |
|||
====Accessing the Wiki via the Wiki Web Service==== |
|||
A visitor of [[MusicBrainz]] will first see the [[Mainsite Stucture|MainsiteStucture]]'s content. Then he will seamlessly move into the [[Moderated Wiki Mirror|ModeratedWikiMirror]] which will be served to him via the [[Wiki Web Service|WikiWebService]]. If a page does not exist in the [[Moderated Wiki Mirror|ModeratedWikiMirror]], the web service will serve the resepective page from the MusicBrainzWiki. None of these pages are editable. |
|||
The page a user sees is directly taken from the wiki. It should have the same ''structure'' like the [[Main Site|MainSite]], but marker that makes clear that this is not the same as the rest of the home page. Such a marker could be the light violet background or the icon. There should probably also be a note that says that this page is maintained by the wiki community and a link to the same page in the [[Moin Moin|MoinMoin]] wiki interface so that it can be edited there. |
|||
===Changes in Wiki Culture=== |
|||
There are a couple of pages which control who is able to do what in this wiki. The exact rights are: |
|||
The wiki community will know that they create the content for the home page. Then [[Wiki Needsa New Center|WikiNeedsaNewCenter]]. We have therefore moved the center from [[Home Page|HomePage]] to [[Wiki Home|WikiHome]]. [[Wiki Home|WikiHome]] should become the homepage for the wiki as a wiki. While the "homepage" for the moderated wiki content will of course be the [[Main Site|MainSite]]. |
|||
* '''Everybody''' can read and write normal pages. |
|||
* '''Logged in users''' can read, write, and revert normal pages. |
|||
* Members of the '''[[Moin Pages Editor Group|MoinPagesEditorGroup]]''' can read, write, revert, and delete normal and some special pages. |
|||
* Members or the [[Admin Group|AdminGroup]] can read, write, revert, and delete ''all'' pages. Additionally they can change ACLs (see [[MoinMoin:HelpOnAccessControlLists|HelpOnAccessControlLists]]) and edit special pages, like |

The MusicBrainz Wiki
The MusicBrainzWiki is located at http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/.
When WikiDocs will be implemented you will be able to view the content of this page on the MusicBrainzWebSite without being in the wiki. See WikiDocs for more details.
Status of the Wiki
We ported the wiki to a MoinMoin wiki-engine. See MoinMoinWikiSyntax for changes to the old UseMod syntax. Also you will have to register again with your old WikiName.
This wiki is a permanent WIP (work in progress). The project to RestructureTheWiki is largely complete and we are now RestructuringTheDocumentation. There is information on the StatusOfThisWiki to tell you which parts are stable and which are "in progress". Things will probaly get worse during the time we implement WikiDocs.
When editing this wiki please stick to GoodWikiStyle. You can also use the SandBox (or the other Sandbox) if you just want to test the MoinMoinWikiSyntax.
Wiki Administration
There are a couple of pages which control who is able to do what in this wiki. The exact rights are:
- Everybody can read and write normal pages.
- Logged in users can read, write, and revert normal pages.
- Members of the MoinPagesEditorGroup can read, write, revert, and delete normal and some special pages.
- Members or the AdminGroup can read, write, revert, and delete all pages. Additionally they can change ACLs (see HelpOnAccessControlLists) and edit special pages, like
