More effective tracking of wiki pages

Posted by bonobo on June 26, 2008 at 11:06pm

Possibly, I'm missing something, but within the current options available via the "Recent" tab, it is difficult to keep track of wiki pages, as the posts on the various tabs (My Recent, My Unread, Recent Posts) are sorted by most recent comment date. So, when a wiki page is created, even if it is continuously updated for 48 hours, it will sink off the top page over time, as new posts come in and receive comments.

My proposal: Add a 4th tab: Wiki Pages - this page will show all wiki pages in groups where the logged in user is a member, sorted by Created/Updated date.

If people think this is a good idea, I'd be glad to create the view (although I would need expanded rights in order to do so).

If people think this is not a good idea, then what is another mechanism we could use to track wiki pages over time?

And if there is currently a way to track wiki pages that I'm just missing, then please tell me to open my eyes :)

Cheers,

Bill

This would be a next great

This would be a next great step along the path to making Drupal a full-pledged wiki platform. Next in my mind would be to create a simple way to mark a wiki page as one you wish to watch. You would then be notified of changes to that page as part of the 4th tab Bill mentioned and also have a diff of the changes sent via email.

Most of the pieces for a really great wiki set-up are already written for Drupal, they just need to be added to g.d.o. Right now, using wiki pages here is somewhat painful.
