[06:29] <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?
[06:32] <Flannel> dvz-: the esclamation points mean "dont turn this into a wiki link", but looks like markup got messed up somewhere
[06:33] <dvz-> so do they both have to be exlamed?
[06:35] <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
[06:36] <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?
[06:37] <Flannel> No, the !s are an artifact of the wiki markup to display the instructions
[06:38] <dvz-> thanks...i was about to screw up major.
[06:48] <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?
[11:40] <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
[13:05] <dvz-> hm. but regardless, that doesn't make variables any more comprehensive.
[13:06] <dvz-> or clear.
[13:09] <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.
[15:00] <Rocket2DMn> hey mdke , if you get a few minutes, i have some questions i would like to run by you
[19:10] <dvz-> So how do i go about joining the Doc/Wiki team?
[19:36] <Rocket2DMn> dvz-, you can join the ubuntu-doc-contributors team on LP: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-doc-contributors
[19:37] <Rocket2DMn> dvz-, were you interested in wiki or system documentation?
[19:38] <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 :)
[19:39] <dvz-> I know they were, but I wanted to update teh HelpOnVariables page (the documentation about the variables)
[19:40] <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.
[19:42] <Rocket2DMn> that page is part of the MoinMoin wiki software installation, it can't be edited
[19:43] <dvz-> Rocket2DMn: there's a MoinMoin version and a non MoinMoin version...MoinMoin version @var    nonMoinMoin  @var@
[19:44] <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
[19:45] <dvz-> stlsaint: think about it some more?
[19:46] <dvz-> wrong channel meh
