    • Difference Between Articles and Pages

    Posted by martcol

    I have a basic grasp of WordPress and get the difference between posts and pages. I also get how categories and tags are displayed and how these can be navigated. I don't understand what the difference is between pages and articles in TW.

    A bit of a nudge would be great.

    Thanks

    Articles and Wiki pages are similar... but different. 😉

    Both:

    • Accept full wiki syntax, plugins, and modules.
    • Can use the wiki or WYSIWYG editor
    • Can include other Tiki features (such as tags, categories, comments, permissions, etc.)



    But there are some important differences:

    Wiki pages

    • Allow you to maintain a full history (diff)
    • Can have page-specific permissions



    Articles

    • In addition to categories, articles include two additional methods of categorization: Type and Topic
    • Have a single author field
    • In addition to letting readers rate the content, the author can assign a rating for the article
    • Can have an "expiration" date



    Be sure to review the docsQuestion for complete details.
