Obsolete:Moodle Docs development: Difference between revisions

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! MoodleDocs in other languages will enable many people to be involved in creating documentation. :-)

MoodleDocs navigation

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.

External links

How to become a MediaWiki hacker ;-)
Category:Mediawiki Extensions
Interwiki bot for maintaining the links from an article in one language to all of the versions of that article in other languages

+Moodle documentation is required in every language! MoodleDocs in other languages will enable many people to be involved in creating documentation. :-)
-*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.
-*[http://moodle.org/help.php?file=index.html Moodle help files] will remain in each [[MoodleDocs and lang packs|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 [[:Category:Core|core category]]. All these pages should be translated.
-*[[:Category:Core|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: [[Special:Export|Export pages]] and [[Special:Import|Import pages]]
