This wiki contains images and pages that are grouped in Collections. Collections form a hierarchy, so that anything that is e.g. in the "Churches" collection is also in the "Buildings" collection.
Assigning a page to a collection
- edit the page
- add {{CollectedIn}}
- save the page
- click "edit with form" and use the dropdown to pick the collection
Adding a new collection
- Make a collection page by entering the name of the collection here:
- assign the new collection to a parent collection if applicable using the form:
- add the collection to the template hierarchy by editing Template:CollectedIn
- Re-create the table to update the hierarchy:
- in template, click the "Recreate data" tab
- uncheck the "Recreate data into a replacement table, keeping the old one for querying"
- click OK
- wait 1 minute for process to complete (you can click on "View replacement table" link to check progress
Some queries will not show a collection unless it has at least one item in it.
Adding an image
I wonder if there is a way to automatically add the template...
- Upload the image
- Add Template:Image description to annotate the image: add
{{Image description}}
to the description field - Save
- "Edit with form" to annotate the image and add it to relevant collections
Remaining tasks
- change so edit links don't show up unless logged in
- find out why Caron family again doesn't list items; I need to test this with collection pages, and collections of collections.
- fix problem with St. Mary's Anglican Church and presumably other pages with apostrophes in them, need to escape those...
- check a replacetext for all "todo"s left anywhere
