Fixing the wiki
- Include a link to the flowchart directly.
- Break down into sub-articles?
Preparing for PDF Export
- Last line of the wiki should categorise as the document name:
[[Category:{document name}|100]]
, where {document name} is the name of the document (minus the version)
- Create a first page article, by amending the end of the URL to: {document name}_Title.
Edit this and paste in:
{{Doc_Title|System=Calidus ''Mobile''|Title={document title}|Reference={ref}|Version={vers}|Date={last updated date i.e. today}}} <!-- FOOTER LEFT "{ref}" -->
- Change the {parameters] to the values required (no brackets required, just the values)
- Add a category:
[[Category:{document name}|000]]
- Save
- Create the final page by copying the template 'Doc_Appendix' and pasting the code into a new page called {document name}_Appendix.
- Add a category:
[[Category:{document name}|999]]
Producing the document
- Edit the category (Special Pages/Categories).
- Choose your category.
- Ensure all your pages are there.
- Paste the following into the category text:
[{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}|action=pdfbook¬itle}} Download this selection of articles as a PDF book.]
- Save.
- Click the link to produce the doc.
- Check the produced doc for any issues (i.e. Images too large, bad titles, invisible tables, etc) and fix the Wiki articles as appropriate.
