Adding works

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2023-02-19T17:38:31+00:00

Adding works If you'd like to add a missing work, here is what to do. Add the link Of course, links can be added anywhere they're relevant in a wiki; that's the power of the thing. However, for organizational purposes, there are specific places where they need to be, and—if all goes well—other places that should reflect changes without requiring manual insertions. Broadly speaking, the first is on the approprate

Advanced plugin

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2023-02-18T14:43:58+00:00

Advanced plugin Advanced plugin page This provides three main functions available on the Admin page under Additional Plugins: Advanced Configurations, Export Utility, and Import Utility. Advanced Configurations This gives access via the wiki interface to many of the configuration files normally only reached from the back end. The present editor was long baffled by it though, since the Admin page button opens up a blank page. The functionality of it all is hidden in a dropdown menu resembling…

Blockquote style development

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2023-02-18T14:44:00+00:00

Blockquote style development How should blockquotes look? There are several ways one could go about formatting such text. The Bootstrap Wrapper plugin gives a few off-the-rack options that work readily enough with whichever Bootswatch theme is in use [edit: the dark themes still will need tweaking].

Bootstrap Wrapper plugin

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2023-02-18T14:44:00+00:00

Bootstrap Wrapper plugin Bootstrap Wrapper page • Developer's documentation site This adds many different bootstrap graphical page elements to the Bootstrap3 template. Not all have been used in this wiki, but here are some examples of those that have been used. Buttons These are the most prevalent, with examples found on nearly every page in the

cleanup plugin

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2023-02-18T14:44:01+00:00

cleanup plugin cleanup plugin page This performs routine wiki maintenance by removing old files that are no longer needed. Things like all of the old cache files that really begin bloating up the size of the entire wiki. Yes, it's good to keep some of that and not trim too vigorously, but not everything need be retained.

Composite Works

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2023-02-18T14:44:34+00:00

Composite Works Sometimes a work can seem to belong to two or more different categories, and it can be had to know just how to treat it. In fact the present editor still doesn't know how to treat such a work, and several approaches are extant in the wiki at this time.

Credits template procedure

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2023-02-22T21:09:18+00:00

Credits template procedure This brief template produces a skeletal page that serves mostly to collect links to all works: pages that name its subject among its authors, artists, and other roles credited in its production. There are three parts to it.

Wiki customizations

Wiki customizations In addition to the many Plugins that have been employed, several changes have been made to the wiki itself. These are mostly cosmetic CSS tweaks, but there are a couple other hacks as well. Template Bootstrap3 The template in use is based on the

DataTables plugin

DataTables plugin DataTables plugin page This plugin makes regular DokuWiki tables sortable and searchable.

Hârn data and HârnWiki

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2023-02-18T14:44:04+00:00

Hârn data and HârnWiki There is a lot of HârnWorld data within the many Works comprising the literature. How much of that data we can present here in the wiki remains to be seen, but the most generous possibility can be assumed when it comes to structuring a database to contain it all. Perhaps not all fields will be present in the final queries with which wiki content is generated, but working in that direction seems better than only entering some data and then coming back for more later.

Columbian headings css

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2023-02-18T14:44:04+00:00

Columbian headings css In DokuWiki, the Wrap plugin is used to add HTML classes around parts of a wiki page. For our purposes, we mimic the page headers of Columbia Games, Inc. documents on pages in the Hârn section and sections for other HârnWorld regions. Those pages have a wrapper around the headings like this:

Note: there are other ways of placing icons, such as Bootstrap Wrapper buttons having an optional icon setting directly within them.

Image Map plugin

Image Map plugin Image Map plugin page This is used to make the map of Hârn work to link pages dedicated to particular Atlas Hârnica maps, such as in Atlas Hârnica Map K5: Kaldor (East).

include plugin Include plugin page This allows the contents of one page to be included in another. It is helpful here to ease the maintenance of sidebars and image maps by allowing changes to be made in one or two places rather than in every page they appear. This can also kludge pages for out-of-print works into other additional namespaces so that they can have the same sidebars, such as

Info plugin

Move plugin

Move plugin Move plugin page Though listed among the Admin plugins, this does have one function open to all editors, that of renaming the current page and updating all links to it. This come in handy when one makes a mistake in naming a page or assigns it to the wrong namespace.

Namespaces list

Namespaces list Here are all of the namespaces currently in existence. A full pagename is formed by adding each name in a particular branch with a colon. For instance, if someone writes a work on another manor in kaldor, the page would be named works:harn:kaldor:manorname

Namespaces

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2023-02-18T17:12:13+00:00

Namespaces This wiki makes use of namespaces to group and order all of the pages. Mostly, they resolve ambiguities, such as the distinction between Kaldor, the kingdom in the “World” section of the wiki---about which much can be said---and Kingdom of Kaldor in the works: section, the particular article by

Navigation pages

Navigation plugin

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2023-02-18T14:44:09+00:00

Navigation plugin Navigation plugin page This plugin is used in the wiki sidebar to automate the opening and closing of its link nodes depending on which page the user is currently viewing. Absent this, the sidebar can be populated with lists of links as any page might, but it would either be static for all pages or require a different sidebar page for each namespace to achieve a more dynamic effect.

nspages plugin nspages plugin page This generates lists of links based on page namespaces. It used to be in wider use as the wiki was developed, and it works well. However, a different, tag-based approach with the Tag plugin gradually came to be preferred. The primary advantage of using this (or Tag) to make lists is that they are dynamic. As pages are added to the wiki, items are added to the appropriate lists automatically. This saves having to remember all the places that pages like a new …

SearchIndex Manager plugin Searchindex Manager plugin page This isn't necessarily required but it can be useful to rebuild the tag index should it be corrupted by moving pages or for other reasons.

Tag variances

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2023-03-26T13:45:23+00:00

Tag variances Some tags are not the same as their corresponding namespaces or icons. Others are just a bit odd and potentially hard to remember. They are listed here. The main differences are that tags are often singular where namespaces and icons are plural. Why? It just kinda seemed appropriate at the time.

Tag conventions

Tag conventions Tags are used similarly to Icons but there are differences. It is easier to create new tags as circumstances dictate, and one can be free to do so. In addition to allowing wiki users to view pages with a common tag together, tags are used extensively to list works according to various
