To add a new page to the Tcler's Wiki, you can edit this page and add an entry. Links to your page will show up automatically in the Recent Changes page, and also wherever people add links to it later. I will check this page every once in a while and remove entries once they have been linked to from other pages.
Before removing pages, should there be some effort to make certain there is some other link? Won't the pages become 'orphans' otherwise?
JMPB 2006-12-29: Even if they become 'orphaned': a bot can be written to go through all pages (simply using the numbered URLs) and check if there are any links to each of the pages. If there is no link, it can be added to some automatically generated page. Maybe somebody feels like writing such a bot?
gg 2006-12-30: (jmpb, see the link) - UPDATE: I am working on such a bot. Don't worry about orphaned pages.
Did you know that clicking on a page title lists all pages that point to that page? (Well, most of the time it works. When it doesn't work, don't get all upset. Just remind yourself that it is only a piece of software, and that occasionally there are glitches. Then drop a comment on Wikit problems with a pointer to the page in question.)
jcw 2002-11-12: Backrefs should work 100% accurately as of today, if there is any page where they do not, please drop me a note!
Anyway: to add a page, think carefully about a good name for it, then add it here, with square brackets around it. Then save and click on the hyperlinked brackets to create your new page. Note that Wiki's hyperlink code currently doesn't do so great with titles that include things like punctuation (+, ;, ? are at least 3 known to cause problems) so the more that you avoid those characters, the better.
When adding to this list the name of a page you've just created, please make every effort to get the name correct.. I [EE] have just fixed several bogus links that had extra white space between or after words... Spaces are significant .
LV 2002-11-19: I would like to see a page similar to recent changes that lists only the top N newly _created_ pages (as opposed to the recent changes practice of listing any page that has any sort of change). That way this page could even be retired, and the graphitti page used for starting a new page.
jcw 2003-01-15: Ok, bit the bullet - cleaned. I just left the last few items at the top.
escargo 2003-02-18: How about we ask people to add the date that they created the page to the list? That way if somebody sorts the pages by name, the date stays attached. That gives some order to the process.
jcw 2004-01-02: A new year. Cleanup time.
I recommend NOT using YYYY-digit-digit , since different cultures recognize these differently. Perhaps use YYYY Month Day ?
vhe 2006-03-31: Actually, the ISO8601 format was chosen especially because no other culture uses the -'s in another meaning. Since ISO published that standard some people have got it wrong and used the dashes in their own date formats in the mistaken belief of being ISO conform then but I don't think that's important enough to stop using the ISO date format.
If you cannot figure out where your page should be referenced, start here and someone will add a reference later when it is appropriate. One good use of this page is to start a new hierarchy of pages.
jcw 2006-10-31: Cleaned up entries older than 3 months.
Lars H: OK, attempt to start chronologically sorted list of pages follows (newer pages at the end, since it is easier to jump to).
AMG: Why is it that when I edit this page, the <title> is "Editing 35" ? Update: It seems this is the case for the entire Wiki, except of course that 35 is replaced with the page's ID.
The actual web name for this page is http://wiki.tcl.tk/35 - so when you indicate you want to edit this page, you get the title you describe.
