Links to MoodleDocs
Moodle 1.6 will have a button on each page that links to pages in the wiki with the same path as the pages in Moodle e.g. the Forums index page will link to mod/forum/index. You can see this already on moodle.org.
Currently all the links are to teacher or administrator documentation. Links to student documentation are also required.
MoodleDocs in other languages
- Moodle documentation is required in every language! Let's start with one or two additional languages - any voluteers please email docs AT moodle DOT org!
- MoodleDocs in other languages will enable many people to be involved in creating documentation, rather than just a few.
- Each version will contain the language code in the URL e.g. docs.moodle.org/es/..., docs.moodle.org/de/... etc.
- Moodle help files will remain in each language pack for those using Moodle locally without an Internet connection.
- All documentation contributions should be encouraged, including creating new pages i.e. contributors should not be restricted to only translating English pages.
- Essential documentation should be decided upon and assigned to a core category. All these pages should be translated.
- Core category pages will have interlanguage links.
- Translation will be multi-directional i.e. not just translation from English into other languages (e.g. a Spanish developer writes documentation in Spanish which is then translated into other languages).
- MediaWiki page titles are the same as the last part of the URL, however these may be translated by moving the page and so creating a redirect e.g. docs.moodle.org/nl/Metacourses moved to docs.moodle.org/nl/Koepelcursus. (This would only be used for certain pages, not Moodle file path named pages.)
- Features to consider using: Export pages and Import pages
Language links
- Wikipedia:Interlanguage links
- Meta:Conventions for multilingualism
- Help:Interwiki linking
- Multiple Sites using one codebase
- Wikipedia:Multilingual coordination
- Help:How to start a new Wikipedia
Other multilingual documentation wikis
- Categories provide a way of automatically displaying a set of pages in alphabetical order.
- Templates enable additional navigation, either on the right e.g. Template:Themes or above the categories at the bottom of the page e.g. Template:Course admin.
- A navigation trail may be added manually e.g. UTF-8 introduction or using an extension.
