## Making changes * All files can be edited by anyone. Start with the the `/sandbox` page. * Changes to the site config are generated into the site with the command `ikiwiki --setup /usr/local/etc/ikiwiki.setup`. * To create new pages on the web, add a new wiki link and then follow the link. If you cannot find a good place for the link, use the [[/sandbox]]. * To move a page, create a new page with the old page's content, and place '\[\[!meta redir=newpage\]\]' on the old page for a redirect. * To delete a page, edit it and press the "Remove" button. * This entire site is kept in a git repo, so larger changes/reversions can be done at the repo level. * Add images directly to the repo in `/usr/local/www/ikiwiki-srcdir/` with git, and they will automatically be brought into the site by the post-commit hook. * Users on leaf.dragonflybsd.org in the ikiwiki group can clone from `/usr/local/www/ikiwiki-repo.git/` and edit with a favorite editor, and then push back. You need to be in the 'ikiwiki' group. * If some random person completely scrambles a page, and there's no subsequent commits, you can undo it on leaf by going to `/usr/local/www/ikiwiki-srcdir` and performing `git revert HEAD`, then rebuilding. * To lock pages so that random people can't edit them, look for the 'lock' section in the ikiwiki.setup file. Remember to regenerate. * To disable users that repeatedly spam the site, add them to the banned_users list in the ikiwiki.setup file. Remember to regenerate. * Many other settings are commented into the ikiwiki.setup file; check there if there's a desired feature that isn't documented here. ### Local editing To check out a local copy of the site, you must have an account on leaf and be part of the ikiwiki group. To edit on leaf, clone from `/usr/local/www/ikiwiki-repo.git/`. To bring it to your own machine, git remote add origin ssh://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/usr/local/www/ikiwiki-repo.git ## Styles * When naming a page, use underscores to indicate spaces between words in the name. * Avoid CamelCase. * When creating a new page, make sure to link to it somewhere else on the site. * Use [Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax) for page syntax. * Straight HTML can be used for page element if needed, though it can get messy; stick to Markdown where possible. ## For more information * This site contains ikiwiki documentation under /[[ikiwiki]]. * Markdown is documented at [daringfireball.net](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax). * [[Formatting information|ikiwiki/formatting]] is linked at the bottom of the form when editing any page. * ikiwiki is documented at the [ikiwiki site](http://ikiwiki.info/).
