Wiki


 

We have a Google Sites wiki that is up to the limit in storage. It is a fabulous resource and all our members have taken to it very easily. But it is at 99% of memory and there is no way to get more memory (that i can find).

I¡¯m looking at the Wiki on groups.io but it seems very simple. It doesn¡¯t make a menu on the left side as the wiki¡¯s I know have, for example.

There is a button that drops down a menu of pages but we would have list of 100+ pages in a list with no grouping.

Is that right? Are there instructions anywhere? Clicking on ? didn¡¯t bring up much.

Is it true that only the images in the wiki count toward the storage limit?

Sharon,

There is a button that drops down a menu of pages but we would have
list of 100+ pages in a list with no grouping.
Groups.io's wiki is lacking in organizational features.

The default wiki home page is an index of the pages, essentially duplicating what's in the Pages menu. But you can, as I did for GMF, replace that index page with a custom home page that creates the kind of organization you want to have. Not very convenient to maintain though, as it is all built with hand-crafted text, formatting, and links.

Are there instructions anywhere?
There's our beginnings of a guide in GMF's wiki. Thanks to JMichaelTX for getting it started. Anyone got the gumption to help fill in more details?

The formatting toolbar for Wiki pages is very similar to the message formatting toolbar, but not exactly the same. One interesting difference is that in wiki the Enter key is a paragraph break, Shift+Enter a line break. Message formatting is the opposite.

That's what the man says.

i understand how to auto generate?a contents list based on the page and tags used - is there a similar?way to offer a page that indexes all the pages of the Wiki automatically on a page?

There is not.

For some purposes the Pages button serves to provide an alphabetical list of all of the wiki pages. But that is a drop-list and not a page where you could put other information before or after the list.

There is also the Search box on the upper right, which for some purposes will serve the same role as an Index would in a paper document, but absent the editorial choice of what entries are significant.

Out of curiosity, what would you do with the kind of generator you imagine? What features would it need to make it useful?

It just strikes me that as I build out the wiki - a front page index to all that is there would be useful ... more obvious to participants tgT allows hierarchy eg

Set of pages on partners
All under a page called partners
A drop down list is ok at the 3 pages I have but. In my WordPress sites even when I hit 30 or 40 - I need some kind of organizational hierarchy?

To build by hand us going to be laborious and sub menus will need continual updating

Kindest Regards

Ok, so one feature it would need is an equivalent to the header levels, to give the page links a hierarchy on the front page. Maybe a new type of format tag in the page editor, or some such.

Somehow an error seems to have crept in, with the link going to the wrong place.

This one works as I think Shal intended: Wikis - How to Create a Wiki: Guide for Users and Editors ?

The problem is that the "Permalinks" to wiki pages aren't "perma" -- changing the page title changes the link. Perhaps I should complain to Mark about this again.

Worse, the title text is not included in the Compare Revisions function, so you can't even tell when it happened or who did it.
