New WIKI - USE IT
Moderator: Site Moderator
How does this thing work? The only way I can find links to some stuff is through the "Recent Changes" menu! Surely there has to be some linking from the main page? Like, why can't I see a link to "Stills"? Or am I an idiot???!!! Don't answer that!
I realise that we are all learning but perhaps it might be better to get it sussed a bit before getting all sorts of entries all over the place?

if you want to put a link to stills in the main page, edit the main page and create the link like this: [[stills]].linw wrote:How does this thing work?

when you save and read the changes, your "stills" link will go to the page "stills"

i changed it
now it looks like this: [[still|stills]] which means it says "stills" but links to "still". enjoy.Is it possible to make a link where the link text is different to where the link goes? Because I just put a link to "stills" on the main page then noticed that on the "distillation" page there's a link to a page called "still", and it would be stupid if there's two separate pages for the exact same topic.

cool
88 new content pages and over 400 edits since the wiki started. not bad!
i have started two categories, equipment and recipes. at the end of your text use a category this way:
[[Category:Equipment]]
let's decide on some major categories beforehand so they don't get out of control.

Condensers
Heat Sources
Boilers
Materials
Yeast
Water
Grains
Fruits
Sugar
Methods of Construction
Fermentation
Distilling
Legal
Thermometers
Safety
Theory
Myths
History
So You Want to Distill?
Suppliers
Photos
Useful Links
Books
Scavaging for Materials
Formulas and Conversion Tables
Tips and Tricks
Carbon
Flavoring
Tools of the Trade
Electrical
Chemistry
Hangovers
Aging
Chemicals
Containers
There's a lot more but this should be a start.

well
i see those more at topics than categories.
we don't want to have a large number of categories if we can avoid it.

Re: cool
Uncle Jesse: I put some wine recipes in our home page (wiki). But things are starting ta get out of control and I dont know how ta fix it. The problem is all the wine recipes that I put in are getting scatered through out the category section instead of staying under the link (wine recipes)Uncle Jesse wrote:88 new content pages and over 400 edits since the wiki started. not bad!

not sure
i'll take a look later on.
i'm sure we can make a big page "wine recipes" as well as the category...by inserting links instead of category tags.

glossary
i really, really like the glossary. i don't like the way it looks in the category though. should we split every definition into it's own page? then the glossary will look better.

Was some browser setting for the WIKI page recently changed? I've tried using firefox(on two different computers) to view the page and in both cases, clicking on links no longer brings up a new page. In internet explorer the page still loads fine.

it took me forever
i'm finally done splitting out all the glossary definitions into their own pages.
great content there mydbear, an excellent contribution.
many of the entries are wine-specific and/or need some editing...

Re: it took me forever
I thought i'd get then there first,,and then clean/or edit them later(just one step at a time)plus I thought a good tasting wine ,run through a pot would make a fine brandy.Uncle Jesse wrote:i'm finally done splitting out all the glossary definitions into their own pages.

good deal - WIKI stats
There are 485 pages that are probably legitimate content pages.
There have been a total of 6367 page views, and 1723 page edits since the wiki was setup. That comes to 1.17 average edits per page, and 3.70 views per edit.
