 ====== MIDIbox Wiki Instructions ======
-Durisian [[http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php/topic,12348.msg102543.html#msg102543|opened a can of worms]] and followed through and ate them all like they were gummi worms. Thus, this wiki redesign was born.
-\\
-The top of this page is a spot to talk about the new wiki layout. When it's all done (other than this page) we can clean this page up as the final step, then redirect the old home page to the new one. Here goes:
-\\
-=== Guidelines ===
-Follow the Template!!
+This page and the other pages throughout entire wikify:* namespace are just a template. Don't edit these pages. The new pages should be laid out like these.
-Don't call anything "new". It'll be old soon ;)
-Don't touch the old stuff...except for one thing: Mark the top of the page with some text so that we know you're already working on that page.
+====== Wiki Syntax ======
+The best way to learn the syntax and how it is used in the midibox-wiki is just to study existing pages. The syntax is easy to read and learn.\\
+Follow [[http://www.dokuwiki.org/syntax|this]] link to learn more about the syntax.
-Remove everything that's duplicated or outdated...If you remove outdated stuff, replace it with new info, and put a pointer to the old info there, so that if people find old info, they'll know to ignore it when they read your page.
+====== Namespaces ======
+All wiki-pages are organized in namespaces. A namespace works exactly like a folder on your PC, but instead of a slash '/', a colon ':' is used as a separator. Links can be absolute or relative to the current namespace:
-When you remove a page, follow backlinks so that you can update links to your replacement doco.
+  '[[:home]]' links to the page 'home' in the root namespace
+  '[[:mbhp:module:din]]' links to the page 'mbhp:module:din' in the root namespace
+  '[[mbhp:module:din]]' links to the page 'mbhp:module:din' in the root namespace
+  '[[.:mbhp:module:din]]' links to the page 'mbhp:module:din' in the current namespace
+  '[[din_dout_pin_list]]' links to the page 'din_dout_pin_list' in the current namespace
-Search the forum for corroborating info. You don't wanna put the wrong info on there and get egg on your face when someone screws up because of your words Smiley
+If you want to read more about DokuWiki-namespaces, follow [[http://www.dokuwiki.org/namespaces|this]] link.
-If you find one little bit of mess, chances are there are related messes that should be cleaned at the same time. Search for similar pages to the one you're working on, and follow links from it.
+Note that if you are on the page ':home:mbhp', you are in the namespace 'home', **not** 'home:mbhp'. This is a bit confusing, because there is on one hand a **page** called 'mbhp', on the other there is a **namespace** called 'mbhp' (:home:mbhp), for example 'home:mbhp:module:din'. To link from the **page** ':home:mbhp' to ':home:mbhp:module:din' relatively, you would use '.:mbhp:module:din'. Of course you could also use the absolute link ':home:mbhp:module:din'.\\
+\\
-Dont use the H1 header style only for the title of the page, the page name will serve as the title. Use the headers for sectioning out the document so it gets a menu automatically.
+However, in most cases it will be easier and safer to just use absolute links.
-D said: - not sure about this, lay down the law and scare people away, or have to clean it up on a regualr basis...
-stryd says: lay down the law a little, but let it be somewhat dynamic. I've put some guidelines here for us, I guess some of them could stay on this page later on...
-space things out well, it makes it easier to read
-Add stuff here if you think of anything
