You are here. This is the MusicBrainzWiki. It is located at [http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/ http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/]. |
|||
The MusicBrainz Wiki is located at [http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/ https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/]. With a few exceptions, it is the source of all MusicBrainz' documentation through the [[WikiDocs]] transclusion mechanism. |
|||
(It’s currently being converted as a MetaBrainz Wiki by adding a namespace for each project; See [[jira:OTHER-415]] for follow-up.) |
|||
When [[WikiDocs]] will be implemented this will not be as easy. You will then be able to view the content of this page through the [[Wiki Web Service|WikiWebService]] ''without'' being in the wiki. See the section [[MusicBrainz Wiki#WikiDocs|The Wiki and WikiDocs]] below for more details. |

''We ported the wiki to a [[Moin Moin|MoinMoin]] wiki-engine. See [[Moin Moin Wiki Syntax|MoinMoinWikiSyntax]] for changes to the old [[Use Mod|UseMod]] syntax. Also you will have to register again with your old [[Wiki Name|WikiName]].'' |
|||
The [[Sandbox|sandbox]] is available to use if you would like to experiment. |

This wiki is a permanent WIP (work in progress). The project to [[Restructure The Wiki|RestructureTheWiki]] is largely complete and we are now [[Restructuring The Documentation|RestructuringTheDocumentation]]. There is information on the [[Status Of This Wiki|StatusOfThisWiki]] to tell you which parts are stable and which are "in progress". Things will probaly get worse during the time we implement [[WikiDocs]]. |

===Syntax=== |

When editing this wiki please stick to [[Good Wiki Style|GoodWikiStyle]]. You can also use the [[Sand Box|SandBox]] (or the other [[Sandbox]]) if you just want to test the [[Moin Moin Wiki Syntax|MoinMoinWikiSyntax]]. |
|||
The wiki uses [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting the standard syntax for MediaWiki]. Additionally, it supports various [[Special:Interwiki|interwiki]] links to make it easier to link to the various entities of the MusicBrainz database. |

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]]. |

=== Anti-Spam Measures === |
|||
The MusicBrainzWiki will be accessible in two ways: |
|||
# as a wiki, and |
|||
# through a [[Wiki Web Service|WikiWebService]] |
|||
In order to edit a page on the wiki, you will need to pass an [[Wiki Spam Protection|anti-spam]] check. |
|||
====Accessing the Wiki as a Wiki (via MoinMoin)==== |
|||
== Administrative rights == |
|||
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. |
|||
# '''Everybody''' (including anonymous users) can read and edit on the wiki. |
|||
====Accessing the Wiki via the Wiki Web Service==== |
|||
# '''Logged in users''' can read, edit, and undo changes on the wiki. |
|||
# '''Wiki admins''' (listed [http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Special:Listusers%26group%3Dwiki-editor on the wiki]) can read, edit, undo changes, and delete pages. |
|||
==Wiki History== |
|||
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. |
|||
This wiki originally used [http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl UseModWiki]. The wiki was migrated to [http://moinmo.in/ MoinMoin] in July of 2005, then was subsequently migrated to [http://www.mediawiki.org MediaWiki] in March of 2009. |
|||
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=== |
|||
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]]. |

The MusicBrainz Wiki is located at https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/. With a few exceptions, it is the source of all MusicBrainz' documentation through the WikiDocs transclusion mechanism.
