Extension:Wikilog/de

The Wikilog extension enhances MediaWiki with some common blogging features, making it a wiki-blog hybrid. There are many names that are used to represent this concept: wikilog, wikiblog, bliki, etc. (refer to the Bliki article on Wikipedia).

Wiki pages are configured to act as blogs, which are called "wikilogs". Just like blogs, each wikilog contains a number of published articles, with the most recent ones displayed on the wikilog main page in reverse chronological order.

One or more custom namespaces are configured as Wikilog namespaces; pages created directly in these namespaces become wikilogs, while subpages to these pages become wikilog articles (blog posts) and are listed automatically on that wikilog's main page.

The extension provides the extra functionality for wikilogs and wikilog articles. Wikilog articles inherit all the usual wiki functionality, like wiki syntax, edit history, page categories, talk pages, etc. Among the features added by the extension are: automatic listing of articles, setting of article authors, handling of article comments, generation of syndication feeds (Atom and RSS) for individual wikilogs and for all wikilogs of the wiki, etc. For more information, see the full list of features.

The philosophy of Wikilog is not to just make a blog out of a wiki, but to combine both concepts. Unlike most blogs, wikilog articles can be collaboratively written and published by multiple users. Talk pages of wikilog articles provide a simpler interface for commenting than standard MediaWiki talk pages. It is similar to most blog software, with the addition of discussion threading.

Wikilog was originally developed by Juliano F. Ravasi. Current development is done in a repository on GitHub by User:VitaliyFilippov:

 your database and local configuration, it is always a good idea.

Add the following lines to your (replace , with the first even-numbered namespace greater than or equal to 100 available in your wiki):

</ol>

User documentation
User documentation is included in the extension package in the  directory. The documentation is released under a Creative Commons license, and can be imported to the wiki, so that users may access it directly from the wiki. Currently the documentation is available only in English.

You must run the  PHP script from a command-line shell in order to import the documentation to your wiki. Example:

$ cd /path/to/mediawiki $ php extensions/Wikilog/maintenance/wikilogImportDocumentation.php

The documentation is maintained online; you are welcome to contribute!
