    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?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,501 ✭✭✭✭ecksor


    Why not just use the custom tag that Cloud added?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,522 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th

    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. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    Ah right, I've registered now so I'll get to it soon enough.

    That tbh chick is always stalking me! I hope she's hot.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    Whats the difference here?

    My page when I registered: http://wiki.boards.ie/wiki/User:6th

    The page tbh created: http://wiki.boards.ie/wiki/User_6th


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,392 ✭✭✭✭kaimera


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

    hadn't come across the User_x myself
