Let's hope it is just an exception and the wiki articles/pages etc. work without problems.
But I'll be honest, there are a number of 'huh??' pages on the XF demo, since it gets used for testing bugs sometimes.
And honestly, I don't understand most of the stuff there. In the feature list or in the changelog documentation I couldn't find stuff related what I see on the demo page.
The wiki areas is one of the reasons that brought me over to VaultWiki at the time my site migrated to XenForo.
I understand but is this the default structure for any forum? So is this the default landing page of the wiki? And from there we can navigate through wiki articles/pages? Because right now it is very confusing and I can't find much. Is there a live website I can take a look at?
Compared to MediaWiki, areas provide some mandatory structure and hierarchy to pages, instead of having problems of 'uncategorized' pages being really difficult to find. I guess you could think of them as filling a similar role that categories and forums do for grouping threads/posts - could you imagine how awkward it would be if XenForo threads/posts were only discoverable with tags?
I understand you perfectly, but why doesn't it use a navigation sidebar just like the rest of XF? It would be much more easier to navigate. Like the "categories" sidebar nav on XF2 Resource Manager.
Template pages are basically designed to be embedded into other normal pages. Like for instance, if you had a site that documented movies/tv, then you might have a 'Spoilers' template that inserts a 'No spoilers' warning box at the top of the pages that relate to movies in the cinema.
I see, it just when I go to the template->spoiler it has this embedded
Code:
<div height="40" width="250" style="float:right; border: 1px #c0c0c0 dash; background: #ffffcc; color: #000000; margin-width: 5px">[b][size="2"]Spoiler Warning[/size]: [i]The following contains plot/ending information[/i].[/b]</div>
So I don't quite understand what each wiki area categories are and what to do with them. A 5 minute explaining tutorial would have been great. I see that VaultWiki is 10 years old, nobody ever thought of doing an explanation video?
It is not about the money in this case. I am just not sure if I can commit to this or not. I am planning on adding thousands of Wiki pages for my niche and I am afraid of wasting my time. I can always use basic XF threads as wiki pages in the worst case scenario.
