Class place,very cool.
Nice to see the History of Boards - Well done lads

someone who knows how to use Biki (or indeed a number of collaborators!) should write a beginners guide to adding to it, reverting abused pages, and editing existing ones. I found adding new pages to be non-obvious the first time!

Yeah, it's extremely non-obvious the first time round. You get used to it pretty quickly though. I was looking at stealing the tutorial from Wikipedia, but it'll require a good deal of reformatting (and removing things like the sandbox, etc).

I wrote a plugin instead which allows you to create them easier from within boards rather then figure it out.

But the reverting is an issue though, so far its only been 1-2 muppets ad-libbing some of the posts. You really have to keep an eye on anything you enter.

That's a very good life motto really.

Hey, would it be feasible or usable to use the [] tags on boards to link to a Wiki page?

For example if you wanted to insert a Wiki link into a post you could write:
"Blah blah blah biki blah blah.." and the Biki would look like a link
eg
"Blah blah blah Biki blah blah.."

ie - tags would auto direct to the Wiki entry.

Or is this not a good idea?

ecksor · 29-11-2004 8:20pm

Why not just use the custom tag that Cloud added?

Gordon · 29-11-2004 8:31pm

Oops sorry, didn't see that on page 3.

blah blah blah [wiki]biki[/wiki] blah blah.

Cool, that's deadly

Is it unusual for people to do their own page? Seems a tad egotistical.

I always assumed that in most cases people do their own wiki page.

Just click the edit button and change what is already there.

Edit: It was tba who created the page.

If I know the poster irl I have been known to make a mockery of their biki page and vice versa.

6th · 14-01-2008 3:27pm

kaimera · 14-01-2008 4:29pm

I'm pretty sure that all users were moved to User:x pages a while back.

hadn't come across the User_x myself
