Wiki

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.
This group should probably have more organizers. See documentation on this recommendation.

This group was suggested as a way to follow up on the discussions spawned at Moshe Weitzman's DrupalCon Brussels 2006 talk on Implementing a fully baked Wiki module for Drupal.

Let's conclude some of those thoughts and translate them into code!

wish list

Not sure if I am missing ti someplace, but thought I would create one if it doesn't exist. Would be cool to see a page that was a wish list and a list or what is currently being worked on with regards to the wiki issues in drupal. Here is my list

Making revisions not suck in core, part 1

I spent some time in Sunnyvale speaking with roetzi and toemaz about plans to improve the revisions system in core: namely, to add in features that don't make any sense that we're missing (like the ability to 'diff' revisions), and possibly to add in the ability to provide moderated revisions, etc.

Nice job, I just discovered that the toc works. Found it when I was lookin at wikiman's install instructions. Nice job.

Now you just gotta fix the "=" problem.

Cheers! Ricco

Wiki installation profile

Yesterday I published the first version of my wiki installation profile. The installation offers the following features at the moment:

  • Editing for anonymous users
  • Moderator role which can revert / delete pages
  • Revisions for pages
  • Mediawiki input format + Image assist
  • Categorization via free tagging vocabulary
  • Views: All pages / All categories / All Images
  • Recent changes

I will talk more about this and the future of Drupal wikis in general at my talk at OSCMS summit next week.

See you there.

roetzi, you asked me to give you a note about the = issue

Hey roetzi,

You asked me to post you and leave you a note about the wiki module not handling the first level of media wiki chapter syntax. It handles ==title==, and ===title===, etc... but does not handle =title=

Cheers!

PS -
* the ability to track the nick of the last person that edited the wiki page, via the view builder interface would ROCK
* table of content wouldn't suck

Wiki management with workflow

One feature of Wikipedia that I find attractive is the ability to restrict edits on a certain page to editors/administrators, particularly in the case of vandalism or high traffic. I was looking around at the best way to implement this feature in drupal, and found that a combination of workflows, na_arbitrator (integrated in Drupal 5 core), and workflows_access (not ready for Drupal 5 yet but seems to be on the short-term roadmap) will offer that functionality. Just posting for others' info just in case they were looking for this feature as well.

Wikitools and Liquid

I just stumbled over rötiz Wikitools module and couldn't help noting that all features listed, except for "Node Search" and Freelinking integration are already supported by Liquid (*). I do in general welcome new approaches and I'm glad to see that more developers team up around the drupal wiki consept, but what is there a point in running two separate races for the same goal?

Best Regards,

Soren

(*) Node Search and Freelinking support has been implemented as a separate addon modules that will be distributed with the next version of Liquid

Ideas for flagging wiki articles

I really like the Wikipedia flagging feature where articles that need work can be flagged (such as {{needs citation}}). I've been thinking about the best way to implement this in Drupal with a wiki system. Some possibilities include:

  1. Flag content - http://drupal.org/project/flag_content - Is limited and does not allow for users to specify the reason for flagging the node. Also does not put a note on the node itself (like Wikipedia does) when an node is flagged. The flag also does not show up in revision history.

Can this be a SoC project?

Hi, Just discovered this group. Our organization is planning to apply as a Google SoC mentoring organization. A couple project ideas are to enhance our current Drupal based platform where Wiki is one key feature that we would like to see fully baked with Drupal. Wondering any students on this group? we perhaps can consolidate the requirements discussed here and use the SoC opportunity to advance the progress. Thoughts? (note: this effort is separate from Drupal SoC effort but of course the output will be contributed back to Drupal)

Cheers.

what about backlinks

it seems no one mentioned BackLinks yet, it's not an essential wiki feature but for larger wiki's it's always good to know what pages link here. and AFAIK no drupal module implements that feature.

not sure how you'd go about implementing that though.

the next step

On the test wiki I set up recently I got some input in what is missing for a wiki in drupal. Some of the points I addressed with three custom modules.

In the meantime, these modules have matured into two official modules: recent changes and wikitools.

Wiki session at DrupalCon OSCMS 2007?

I know there was a session on Wikis last fall in Brussels. It seems like there has been a lot of movement. Does it make sense to do a session in California, and have a demo of a wiki in Drupal, and a Drupal wiki?

PEAR Wiki filters

Last week I released a module which uses PEARs Text Wiki packages for formatting. This lets you choose one from several different input formats, my favorite being the well known Mediawiki syntax (not because I like the syntax particularly, but because a lot of people know the syntax from Wikipedia).

Welcome, wiki pages

As an experiment, I have created a new content type called 'wiki page' and given everyone the permission to edit them. This post is an example of one. Feel free to edit it, within reason. Your edits don't generate email notifications but might generate items in rss feeds depending on reader preferences.

Plans - structure, roadmap?

How are things going? Is anybody actively developing a wiki module of some kind?
How can I help?
I would love to have a real wiki module which works like the rest of Drupal.

If no module developers are working actively towards a goal - should I compile a set of requirements?

What is missing? (Funding?)

anyone experienced in TWiki and Drupal?

I think TWiki is most advanced and sofisticated Wiki System around and should be looked deep into when planning to ad Wiki features into Drupal. It would be great if we would find a person who has deeper understanding of both systems and could adress potential benefits of this cross-polination ;-)

Import/export wikipedia info

In an effort to contribute to various music/arts-centric solutions, I've been looking for ways to use wikis as a repository for basic info that often gets duplicated.

Couple instances:

Many music sites such as emusic, MP3.com, Yahoo Music, and Rhapsody are licensing content from services like All Music Guide. On the other hand, sites like Wikipedia and Wikia already, or could, provide much of the same info.
