Wiki Usage Notes
From BiomedGT
- To list all extensions, use: Special:Version
- The extensions used or considered for use by BiomedGT
- Embed a bar in a template by using {{!}}
- To edit the sidebar use: MediaWiki:Sidebar
- To reference information in an external wiki, insert a row in the "interwiki" table. As we reference some of the constructs and types in the basic Semantic Mediawiki, we've added a row "semmw | http://ontoworld.org/wiki/$1 | 0 | 0" to the table. We can now embed local references: semmw:Main_Page to get there. This also allows to put redirects on our own pages (e.g Property:Has_type) to go to the external definitions.
- There is a lot more power here as well for cross-referencing, interlinking and the like - see: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Interwiki_linking for details
- There are a lot of permissions issues that can be encountered on unix systems. The following commands work wonders:
-
find . -type d -exec chmod 0755 '{}' ';' -
find . -type f -exec chmod 0644 '{}' ';'
-
- For various reasons, it is sometimes possible for the semantic data to get out of sync with the mediawiki text. When this occurs, you need to:
- Change to the <wiki>/maintenance directory
- Copy ../extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/maintenance/SMW_* .
- php SMW_refreshData.php
- WIKI Configuration settings list
