WikiDocs Pages

Attention.png This page lists all wiki pages that should be part of the initial WikiDocs launch and listed in the WikiDocsTransclusionTable.

General Issues

To decide which pages nedd to be added to the transclusion table I ask myself two questions:

  • What pages are relevant to a newcomer to MusicBrainz? These are the pages that should be moderated. Pages that are only relevant to people who are already accustomed to MusicBrainz can stay in the MusicBrainzWiki and do not need to be moderated, since a member of the MusicBrainz community can (or should learn to) retrieve informaiton from the wiki.
  • What pages reflect an official position of the MusicBrainz project? The responsible persons need to have some control over these pages, thus they need to be moderated.

Generally I try to have as few pages in the WikiDocsTransclusionTable as possible. I think we should start out low. We can always add more pages later if we get problems with spammers and vandals. MoinMoin has an AntiSpamGlobalSolution against the latter.

Migration Guideline

When converting an old static page into a WikiDocs page, make sure, that:

  • The WikiDocs page has a really GoodWikiName. WikiDocs pages are somewhat harder to rename, so you'll have to get it right from the start.
  • Preserve all links: Make sure the new WikiDocs page contains all links that the old static page had. This is important because otherwise you could cut off a part of the documentation.
  • WikiDocsPages must never be renamed. Therefore they should all have the following ACL line:
  • ## DontRenameWikiDocsPages! #acl -All:delete Default

A member of the AdminGroup will have to add this for you.

Pages which will be made into WikiDocs Pages

See also MusicBrainzDocumentation and even more importantly RestructuringTheDocumentation for some prior work on this (especially proposed WikiNames). This table follows the structure of the new top menu bar:

Position in SiteMenu Current URL Corresponding WikiPage Notes TODO Priority
About
About MusicBrainz http://musicbrainz.org/doc/AboutMusicBrainz AboutMusicBrainz That is the page which hosts the content in question. I have no problems with the WikiName, but Alex once said it was not that good. review WikiPage {*} {*} {*}

There is no /wd/ page. Dupuy Proposed to leave this as a static page, this is a contract with our users after all. Well, WikiDocs provides a point-in-time freeze, which is as good as any static page (even better, since it allows to update the content without having to mess with server code. therefore i've ported the content to MusicBrainzPrivacyPolicy done.

... More to add

  • It is my understanding that very few of the actual documentation needs to be moderated. Ideally those pages that give a structured introduction to all pages which document a certain feature should be moderated, but these actual pages should not. It is enough that the introductory page declares that the rest is maintaned by the wiki community. Only if we experience vandalism, should we add all these pages to the ModeratedRevisionTable --DonRedman * AdvancedRelationships (once this has stabilzed and only if we have troubles with vandals all the subpages) * EditType (but IMO not the edit type pages themeselves) * ... * MusicBrainzTerminology ** probably all pages of Category Terminology
