Deleting/Moving Wiki Pages

When deleting a page, if there's a replacement, put a redirect in to the replacement, not "(candidate for deletion)".
To put in a redirect, replace the contents of the page with:
#REDIRECT [[page linking to]]
This helps stop broken links, and will make sure people find what they are looking for.
If you are moving a page, dont make a new page and copy paste, use the 'move this page' link at the bottom, as it automatically creates a redirect.
Just noticed this now, as someone had busted up the link on http://aur.archlinux.org/index.php to the TU guidelines. I've fixed it with a redirect now. I know you might think fixing the aur is the solution, but we cant fix every link out there, so redirects are preferable over deletion.

Its also possible to get a general idea of what links there are to a page across the web using the google link operator (search for "link:http://path.to/some/page.ext"). I doubt there are a lot of links into the Arch Wiki outside the wiki and these forums; I think its ok to remove obscure redirects, such as misspellings. It would only be when moving popular or important pages that you really have to worry, including pages that are deliberately designed to be linked from outside the wiki.

Delete a Wiki Page

Can this page be deleted: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ser … figuration
It is rather old and title is misleading.

To avoid that actually someone does that instead of improving pacman page. Pacman refers to that page but there is duplication. i.e. Server File section versus Repositories section. Even if it's updated, that leaves a rather confusing title...

How to automatically remove the wiki page's images from the Images library , when a wiki page is deleted

I have noted the following strange behavior inside my Publishing enterprise wiki site collection. Now by default when I create a new wiki page and I add Pictures to it, the pictures will be saved under the “Images” library and will be inside a unique folder
that have its name similar to the page name.
But when users delete the picture from the wiki page or they delete the whole wiki page, then the related folder inside the “Images” library will not be removed. So can anyone advice if there is a way to automatically remove the page’s pictures
folder from the Images library when the page is deleted? as currently i might end up having many pictures inside the Images library which are not linked to a wiki page, and they will waste my server desk space...

I think, not sure, there's no out-of-the-box solution in SharePoint for this problem. So I can only think of custom solution:
In event Receiver, ItemDeleting, you can delete images. The only downside is if some other pages are referring the images..... you need to check somehow which is quite time-consuming operations if you have thousand of pages in wiki library
A timer job, that will run periodically, every day or week, and clean all unused images.
Hide the default delete button and add your own. And then using your own custom layout page, show a 'configuration dialog' to user if they want to delete both page and images.
Thanks,

Please do not tell me this is not supported out of the ox ,,,,, i that i should handle this process by myself !!! and SharePoint does not support this feature .... this is another problem i should include in my list .....

Is there a way to delete mail listing associated with a Wiki page?

There seems to be no way to delete mailed in entries to a wiki page. In other words when I e-mail to a wiki mail list such as [email protected], the resulting entry can't be deleted. Is there a way to do this?

You can do it if you know your way around the command line. Here's a quick article on it:

It seems like everybody and their hot sister heard of this Beranger person except me
Update: can't say I checked any of his older posts but I guess I've seen part of his 'dumping linux' blog post -- most likely the one that 'angried' people and said sisters. I can only ask myself: what the big deal is? Who actually cares? Personally I never understood blogs nor the need to have them .. but it was my opinion that these unfortunate inventions were supposed to be destined for your friends (+sisters) to read. So I can't understand this: why does anybody else in the world -- care -- about what that guy uses/doesn't use? What makes him so important / such a(n) hero.

Moved Wikis, they sill appear in welcome/page What's Hot and Recent Changes

I followed these excellent instructions for moving some wikis between groups. In the OLD group, however, the wiki pages' old URLs are listed in the What's Hot and Recent Changes sections.
How can I remove these old dead URLs from these lists?

Hi there,
You can log in as the owner of the group and "see" an admin section at the bottom of the sidebar for settings. On this settings page you can customize the upper right sidebar section to respond to a particular tag and you can title this section.
If you want further customization than the settings admin allow, I think you will have to delve into the javascript that makes this page dynamic to the user. In which case only work in Library/Applications Support/Apple/WikiServer and work on copies of the templates. Otherwise the _teamsserver user may not be able to function and your wikis will be offline.
One other thought that I have been experimenting with is to start a TOC(Table of Contents) page and enter pages by their links. The links menu selection in the editor will show any of the group site web pages by title to select from making this process a little more intuitive. For some reason I find my users who are afraid of the web, very reluctant to use tags or even try the search feature which is very good.
If you come up with a workaround your users commit to please pass along for the rest of us to try.
HTH,
Harry

Where can I find this wiki page?

I have set up a watch on the portal wiki page, and a few days ago I got this link emailed to me <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/ep/ep&focusedcommentid=11662">the link</a>. Now, I can find this link by clicking on it, but a few interesting questions came to mind.
1 - Why can't I find this link under the main portal wiki page? I assume the person who wrote the comment found the page, but I couldn't!
2 - When I click the link, I don't see the comment, but I see the page (My Home -> Portal -> ep). Ok, there's no content on the page, but I can't see the fact that there is a comment. Can the Comments tab have a counter after it, so I think to look there?
Thanks

Keith wrote: "How do we create worksets?" probably would have a better chance in a forum, wouldn't it?
I would certainly agree. Also, I believe this page is an orphan in a matter of speaking and should indeed be deleted as it has no content.
Best method would be to advise both the creator of the page and point him/her to the existing wiki "Main" page under Portal <a href="https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/EP/Main">My Home > Portal > Main</a> (I've done that). Also perhaps the moderator should do the deleting.
I'm also pinging the author of the question to suggest his/her question is moved to forum.
thanks.

Wiki Pages - Open Web Part Page in maintenance view

I am trying add custom .aspx pages to a SharePoint 2010 Document Library. When I try to edit properties for those pages, the edit page shows "Open Web Part Page in maintenance view to delete problem Web Parts and remove personal settings.
Open Web Part Page in maintenance view." I click Open Web Part Page in maintenance view
The page displays
The are currently no Web Parts associated with any Web Part Zones on this page. Web Parts added to the page outside of a Web Part Zone will not appear in this list.
I don't do anything with the maintenance view because there are no Web Parts to delete.
As a test, I save the content of the custom.aspx page as a text file, custom.txt. The edit properties displays just fine.
Another test, I save the content as custom.htm. The edit properties displays just fine.
I try many variations of saving the content of custom.aspx with various html tags and even no tags at all. One version just has the text,"test" in the page. Save error:
Open Web Part Page in maintenance view to delete problem Web Parts and remove personal settings. Open Web Part Page in maintenance view."
Going down another path, I try to compare the source of this aspx page with other SharePoint aspx pages. One test is the Wiki Page. All Wiki pages display the same message on my farm. Is this a known issue with Wiki Pages?
<apparently I'm not allowed to add images yet>
As another point of comparison I opened the Edit Properties part within an Office 365 Wiki. Same message.
<apparently I'm not allowed to add images yet>

Hi Chris,
As your description, when you uploaded a .aspx page into a library and edited the properties, the message "Open Web Part Page in maintenance view to delete problem Web Parts and remove personal settings. Open Web Part Page in maintenance view"
showed.
I could reproduce this issue if I uploaded a .aspx page into a library and edited its properties.
Then I went to Site Pages library, and select a page and edit its property, the same message also showed like the screenshot:
It seems that the message will show when we edit the properties of a page no matter which library we upload it to, it seems to be by design.
In addition, if you want to upload a image into the thread, you can first upload the image into OneDrive, then copy and paste the URL of the image here.
Thanks,
Wendy

Anyone having problems editing text on wiki pages in Workspace?

I have had some serious issues when editing text on new wiki pages in my new Beehive workspace. First when I tried creating bulleted lists (with several or more items), after publishing the lists the text would all get tossed to the bottom of the page after publishing. Then I gingerly recreated the bulleted lists by running all the text together, then pressing Enter at the start of teach list item. This worked with some effort. But then when I tried editing my lists to update the information, the cursor would inadvertently jump to another place in the page, select some text, then my next keystroke would delete it. Even then, once I recreated all the information on the page, when published some of the text did not show up in the published version (it was still there in the editor).
When I recreated the text and lists in Word files, then copied and pasted it into new wiki pages on workspace, the formatting transferred OK. But editing still creates problems. The Undo button will clearly cause problems, so I stopped using that, but I still am having serious editing issues. Any help appreciated.

I just started using the Wiki pages and what I need at the time are some sortable tables (only limited need for bullets at the time). I am having an incredibly frustrating time using the "advanced" tables. I use both the Rich Text Editor and Wiki Markup screens to do this. The interface is incredibly buggy! As you metioned, you can get things just so in the WYSIWYG editing tool and it is completely messed up when published. In my case just switching between Rich Text Editor and Wiki Markup (without doing anything) messes things up! And if you want sortable columns, you had better not make them links, as the columns sort on the invisible URLs...
I can only hope that the engine under the hood of this product is more reliable. I certainly expected more from Oracle...

Can i hide "Open Web Part Page in maintenance view" link when editing wiki page properties

I am working on an Enterprisewiki site collection inside SP 2013, and currently when contributor users edit the wiki page properties by going to "Page Option >> Edit Properties" , then will find the following link, named "Open Web Part
Page in maintenance view" which sound strange :-
so can anyone advice what is the purpose of this link and how i can remove it ?

Hi,
If someone wants to open a wiki page in Web Part maintenance view then they can directly use this link to switch into the view and can directly delete problematic webparts from there.
To remove this link, you can try below jquery code in Content Editor webpart on Editform.aspx of wiki page library.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready( function (){
$("a[id$='WebPartMaintenancePageLink']").hide();
$("a[id$='WebPartMaintenancePageLink']").parent('td').parent('tr').hide();
</script>
Thanks. Please mark it as an answer if it helps.

ExtractReferences flag ignored in WikiPageUpdater when updating a wiki page

Hi All,
I'm using REST to update a wiki page. The update works successfully, changing the page based on the upload. However, the wiki links remain blank, even though they are in the wiki data correctly. If I manual edit the page and then publish it, the links are successfully put in.
When calling update, I set the extractReferences tag to true, but this doesn't have any effect.
Does anyone know what additional stages I need to do to get the links added to the wiki page.

Hello Omar.
At this time you cannot retrospectively add a table based column to an IRR once you have created the IRR.
You will have to delete the IRR and recreate it i n order for your new column to appear.
It is for this reason that we typically construct report regions using the 'Classic' report format until the users have confirmed the content is correct. Then we convert it to an IRR.
Kind regards
Simon Gadd

I bought the CD of iWork's and have installed pages from it - to use version in Lion do I have to buy the app?? If I do, do I have to delete the other pages??

I bought the CD of iWork's and have installed pages from it - to use version in Lion do I have to buy the app?? If I do, do I have to delete the other pages??

All you need to do is run Software Update to make sure you have the iWork 9.1 update. It will update your existing installation of the three applications. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. Even if you think you'll never need all three of the applications, you cannot delete any. They must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

Problems with mov files in Wiki pages ?

Hi ,
we are running 10.5.8 Server and all of a sudden are mov files are no longer playing in our wiki pages .
You can see them preview but when you click on them to play nothing happens and the thumbnail disappears.
Tried repairing the permissions and making sure none of the files have moved but no luck ?
Cheers

I understand I need another codec but I don't have Final Cut and can't find one that works with iMovie '11. iTunes plays the audio but not video. Do any of you experts have any suggestions?
Basically, you have two options:
1) Purchase FCE to get the codecs, or
2) Have the data re-exported from the host system using a video codec which is natively compatible with your target system configuration.

Disappearing Groups in Available Group Wikis Page

I found a temporary fix to an ongoing issue and I am looking for a more permanent "fix", if there is such a thing...
The issue is the individual group wiki not appearing in the "Available Group Wikis" when going to https://www.myserver/groups/.
The set up is several xserves within the network, one of which is OD Master, the others are replicas. One of the replicas services the external IP, and this is the one with the no available wikis notation on the Available Group Wikis" page. The group wiki is actually on that server, and can be reached by going to https://www.myserver/groups/mygroup.
In experimenting with this, I found that I can get the mygroup wiki to appear on the Available Group Wikis page IF: I first copy the mygroup folder/directory found in Library/Application Support/Collaboration/Groups to another location (desktop works); then delete the mygroup folder/directory in Collaboration/Groups; then browse to https://www.myserver/groups/mygroup (results in the default wiki page); then browse to https://www.myserver/groups/ and the mygroup listing is there. Next step is to copy the subfolders wiki and weblog from the original mygroup back to the new Collaboration/Groups/mygroup folder; and, change the permissions for the lot back to _teamsserver as it was originally.
All is fine and the mygroup listing and link remains in the Available Groups Wikis page - UNTIL, the server is restarted or web server is restarted. After a restart, the Available Groups Wikis page is back to not showing any groups...
The question is: where is the document that is getting loaded when restarting web server that either deletes the mygroup listing on the Available Groups Wikis page, or fails to see that there is a group to be listed, or how is this otherwise fixed?
Thanks in advance for any insight into what the problem is and how to fix it.

How are you changing the perms back to _teamserver, through Server Admin showing system accounts? Make sure you are connecting to that local machine's Server Admin when setting the _teamserver perms for the Collaboration dir and not the OD Server. This might be causing a conflict if you are using the _teamserver account from your OD Master rather than the local machine.
Otherwise you can try wiping your ACLs using:
sudo chmod -R -N /Library/Collaboration
Then setup your ACLs again on the local machine's Server Admin with system accounts being shown or via the terminal.
