| dvz- | lo there. on the HeloOnVariables wiki page...what is it meaning "If the variables are set on !UserName/!MyDict ... ? what is !UserName/!MyDict ...most notably, the exclamation points? | 06:29 |
|---|---|---|
| Flannel | dvz-: the esclamation points mean "dont turn this into a wiki link", but looks like markup got messed up somewhere | 06:32 |
| dvz- | so do they both have to be exlamed? | 06:33 |
| Flannel | dvz-: That's just for that page, right. You just go to /YourUserName/MyDict I believe. | 06:35 |
| Flannel | Above that it says HomePageName instead of YourUserName | 06:35 |
| dvz- | so i'm trying to create a dict for wiki.ubuntu.com/homepage/subpage/sub2page/myDict do i need to rename it to !homepage/!subpage/!sub2page/!myDict then, exclame all the way to the root? | 06:36 |
| Flannel | No, the !s are an artifact of the wiki markup to display the instructions | 06:37 |
| dvz- | thanks...i was about to screw up major. | 06:38 |
| dvz- | argh. so i have ../Joining/FormatDict i want to include FormatDict in joining....does that bang syntax need to be saved in the Dict file or Joining? | 06:48 |
| dvz- | okay.. i figured out what they were trying to do here. Now my question is this: How do you get an immutable page updated? i.e. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HelpOnVariables. | 11:40 |
| dvz- | Section 3.2 has the misprint !UserName/!MyDict (MyDict becomes a link)... | 11:40 |
| dvz- | it should be: !UserName/MyDict | 11:40 |
| dvz- | hm. but regardless, that doesn't make variables any more comprehensive. | 13:05 |
| dvz- | or clear. | 13:06 |
| dvz- | not sure who's incharge of wiki, but that page may need an overhaul and verification... following that guide didn't produce anything of tangible results other than a headache. | 13:09 |
| Rocket2DMn | hey mdke , if you get a few minutes, i have some questions i would like to run by you | 15:00 |
| dvz- | So how do i go about joining the Doc/Wiki team? | 19:10 |
| Rocket2DMn | dvz-, you can join the ubuntu-doc-contributors team on LP: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-doc-contributors | 19:36 |
| Rocket2DMn | dvz-, were you interested in wiki or system documentation? | 19:37 |
| dvz- | yes Rocket2DMn couldn't you tell with my 50+ updates this morning? | 19:38 |
| dvz- | then i got frustrated with one of the pages cause i couldn't edit it to correct it..(HelpOnVariables) | 19:38 |
| Rocket2DMn | dvz-, those updates were for the team wiki, not documentaiton :) | 19:38 |
| dvz- | I know they were, but I wanted to update teh HelpOnVariables page (the documentation about the variables) | 19:39 |
| dvz- | and...I read the Moin page about the variables and finally understood it..though it didn't work...reading this page gave me a migraine trying to figure out what the heck !UserName/!MyDict was...which was formatted incorrectly. | 19:40 |
| Rocket2DMn | that page is part of the MoinMoin wiki software installation, it can't be edited | 19:42 |
| dvz- | Rocket2DMn: there's a MoinMoin version and a non MoinMoin version...MoinMoin version @var nonMoinMoin @var@ | 19:43 |
| dvz- | also, the MoinMoin version has: !UserName/MyDict whereas this one has: !UserName/!MyDict which shows up as !UserName/![[MyDict]] | 19:44 |
| dvz- | (where [[MyDict]] is the link to MyDict | 19:44 |
| Rocket2DMn | strange | 19:44 |
| dvz- | stlsaint: think about it some more? | 19:45 |
| dvz- | wrong channel meh | 19:46 |
