WikiDocs Transclusion Editor

What is a Transclusion Editor

TransclusionEditors are MusicBrainzContributors who have the permission to change the version of the transcluded WikiDocs documents. The users who currently have this permission are:

This list is edited by hand and for informative purposes only. The actual rights management is done within the MusicBrainzServer

How To Transclude a WikiDocs Page

Only TransclusionEditors are able to do this. Go to the Wiki Transclusion Table. There you will see lines like the example below, which can be edited or removed; new ones can also be added. When a WikiDocs page has been edited by a fellow WikiZen and the changes conform with the style guidelines and other social aspects, and most important, make the documentation better - then the change should be reflected on the main server. To do this, use the Edit button to update to the revision number of the page in the transclusion table.

If you add a page to the transclusion table you take some responsibility for that page. You should show it, by

  • subscribing to the corresponding WikiPage,
  • adding a note to the bottom (just before the categories) that you're monitoring this WikiDocsPage.
    To do this, use the Card Cards/WikiDocsPageMonitoredBy: [[Card(Cards/WikiDocsPageMonitoredBy TransclusionEditorName)]].

Also make sure

  • each WikiDocsPage is of CategoryWikiDocsPage,
  • each WikiDocsPage is protected by the AccessControlList:
    ## DontRenameWikiDocsPages!#acl -All:delete Default
    ACL cannot be modified by normal Wiki users, you will need a member of the AdminGroup to do that for you.

Old WikiDocs

Before the current WikiDocs using the MainWiki and the TransclusionTable, there was an old WikiDocs that was a separate Wiki; this deprecated version used URLs like musicbrainz.org/wd/PageName but these should not be used any more.
