Tips

Removing a Page from a Menu

Typically, when you delete the contents of the page, you also delete that page unless it has children. If a page also appears in menu, however, you can't remove it by deleting the content: instead, move the page to namespace "z-archive". Only then will it disappear.

Subscribing to Wiki Changes

Subscribe to parts of – or the whole! – wiki to receive an email when someone makes changes to pages or namespaces. To subscribe:

  1. Navigate to the page or namespace to which you want to subscribe;
  2. On the right-hand menu which contains the main edit link on every page, find the envelope with the scroll-over text "Manage Subscriptions";
  3. Choose your preferences and click "Subscribe".
  4. Repeat for other pages or namespaces!

Limiting your Wiki Search

When getting too many search results, use the tricks listed here. Specifically useful may be:

You can search for exact phrases by putting double quotes around a set of words, e.g. [ "installing dokuwiki" ].

Search within a namespace (@)

You can restrict the search to namespaces. To search pages within a namespace, prefix @ or ns: to the namespace. To not search pages within a namespace, prefix ^ or -ns: to the namespace.

For example, the query [ dokuwiki @wiki ^wiki:docs ] will find pages which contain a word “dokuwiki” and are within “wiki” namespace but not within “wiki:docs” namespace. The query [ dokuwiki ns:wiki -ns:wiki:docs ] will do the same thing.

Note that you have to search a namespace (e.g. something that has a URL that ends in “:start”) — otherwise you are searching a page. So, searching with [ ns:public:nnels:etext:template-styles ] does not work, but searching in [ ns:public:nnels:etext ] most certainly does.
