HelpOnCategoriesCategoriesCategories are an important feature on wikis. Creating a category is easy: you just have to write a category name onto the page and you are done. MoinMoin even simplifies this by letting you choose from a list of available categories while you are editing the page. On the page of the category, you can give a brief description of the category's contents. If you want to get a list of all pages in that particular category, either click the title of the category or insert a suitable macro which lists the pages: <<FullSearch(category:CategorySamples)>>
lists all pages in the category CategorySamples
(alternative you can use <<FullSearchCached(@
PAGE@)>>
) (FullSearchCached
caches the search results and therefore displays a category page quicker and also produces less load for the wiki server, for more information please read HelpOnMacros) <<FullSearch(category:CategoryRecipes -category:CategoryCake)>>
lists every recipe if it is not about a cake :-) See HelpOnSearching for further information about the syntax. Normally, categories have to be named like Category
Something
. If you want to allow other patterns like Catégorie
Gaffeur
(that is French by the way), then the administrator needs to change the configuration option page_category_regex
according to the users' language, see HelpOnConfiguration for configuration tips and ConfigMarket for configuration presets. The best choice is to create category pages from a CategoryTemplate (see HelpOnTemplates).
