What wiki funtions do we have?

#1 Post by Goblinz »

Currently it is a pain to make stuff on the wiki do to the fact that what commands we can use. Is there a list of what we can use on the website ?
Those who complain are just Volunteering to fix the problem

<yufra> every vault designer should ask themselves exactly that: What Would Grey Do?

You can clink on "input format" and then you can select whichever you want.

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cheatsheet for the cheatsheet for mediawiki (wikipedia's format).

But dunno if you were looking for advanced stuff like ~~~~ or [TOC] or stuff like that. No idea what is available. :-/

Aye, the issue is that not all of the mediawiki markup is actually supported. It would be nice to have actual documentation of the software that is actually in use, rather than of the other software that it purports to emulate....

E.g. I tried to make "Shaloren" redirect to "Shalore", because I foresaw a need for page redirects in the near future, and this was one of the obvious places to use it. So I created

Code: Select all

#redirect [[Shalore]]
and made sure Mediawiki emulation was marked, and this is the result: http://te4.org/wiki/shaloren

which says

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Call to a member function token() on a non-object in /var/www/te4.org/htdocs/sites/all/modules/pearwiki_filter/Text/Wiki.php on line 1069
Based on that error message, I attempted to search for help using Google, and found nothing helpful....

Second problem I ran into personally was the lack of proper handling of mediawiki tables -- specifically style elements. Putting border="1" on the opening line of a table definition only gives a border around the table headers, not around the table elements. Putting style="..." on individual table lines seems to do nothing at all. You can see examples on pretty much every table in the wiki -- one would be http://te4.org/wiki/shaloren-racial-tree -- note the lack of boxes around the non-header table elements, which makes it really hard to read the descriptions (to see where one stops and the next begins).
