    • Orphan pages

    Posted by JeffCrace posts: 4
    I am trying to use the Wiki for technical information so I am not always able to use the Wiki format for my words. I think this is causing Orphan pages, which I thinks is fine but when I search for the word it does not search the Orphan pages?

    I'm not sure what you mean about how orphan pages are being caused, or about not being able to use the wiki format. In any case, you can check the "Orphan pages" link in the Wiki section of the application menu (tiki-orphan_pages.php) to see a list of the orphan pages at your site. Normally orphan pages don't get created inadvertently. Searches cover all wiki pages, orphans included, so if orphan pages aren't turning up in searches, it'd be good to double-check that such pages actually exist.

    Well I am going off the instructions on how to create Wiki page and it is not working. I cannot use camel case for example this is a word I need to use C$RERR Routine also I read that you can use This is a New Page but that does not work with that word either? I think it does not like the $ sign

    Suggestions?

    I believe that $ is a reserved in URLs. Try encoding it as C%24RERR%20Routine: C$RERR Routine

    HTH,

    You could create the wiki page without the dollar sign like ( ( CRERR_Routine | C$RERR Routine ) ) The name of the page does not have to be the same as the name of the link. The first arg is the wiki page name, the second is the text of the link.

    Thanks for the input but I am getting different results (see below)

    Why does this work here but not on my Wiki? 😕

    ( (CRERR_Routine | C$RERR Routine) ) ** I added extra spaces so this would not link here but below I did not so it linked.


    Input:

    C$RERR Routine

    The question mark at the end of the string indicates that the wikipage does not exist. If you click on the question mark, it will create the page. I don't know what you are seeing on your specific site. On tw.o I see a reference to the non-existing page. When I put the cursor over the question mark, I see the actual name of the page that is referenced.

    No sorry I know that last post was confusing.... On my site it prints out the string ( (CRERR_Routine | C$RERR Routine) ) I added a space between the brackets here so the string would show up because here it actually works....? is there a setting I need to change?
