Basic Principles

Enabling Features

Features can be enabled by simply creating an overview page containing a simple template call to {{semorg-<feature>-overview}}.

To make this page easily accessible, you should add a link to the navigation or your main page.

Example: enabling Groups

If you want to enable groups add Groups to Mediawiki:Tweeki-navbar-left.

Click on the new link in the navigation to create the page and add the following content:

{{semorg-group-overview}}

Connecting Templates, Forms, Categories

• the form defines the templates that should be created/edited with it:

  {{{for template|semorg-meeting}}} … {{{end template}}}

• the template sets the corresponding category:

  [[Category:semorg-meeting]]

• the category sets the form for the pages in the category:

  {{#default_form:semorg-meeting}}

Customization

Use system messages to alter the appearance of forms and templates, e.g.

• change MediaWiki:Semorg-form-meeting-rows to change the fields to be displayed in the editing form for Meetings

Your custom form

• copy the contents of Form:Semorg-meeting to Form:MyMeeting

  change MediaWiki:Semorg-meeting-form to MyMeeting

Your custom template

• copy the contents of Template:Semorg-meeting to Template:MyMeeting

  change MediaWiki:Semorg-meeting-template to MyMeeting

Your custom category

• copy the contents of Category:Semorg-meeting to Category:MyMeeting

  change MediaWiki:Semorg-meeting-category to MyMeeting
