Manual talk:Technical reference

The Help namespace's front door is currently Help:Contents. I propose the Manual namespace's front door be kept consistent with that and be Manual:Contents. Predictability and consistency is important in navigational elements. Manual:Technical reference is inconsistent with the good navigational precedent set by Help:Contents. --Rogerhc 05:05, 16 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

So, may I move Manual:Technical reference to Manual:Contents? (Please answer on Project:Current issues) --Rogerhc 05:05, 16 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Please add class reference[edit]

Even if temporary, add this link (or a new equivilent): MediaWiki Documentation It is really hard to find documentation right now with it split between the two sites. -Genidiot 20:07, 5 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

That information will always be on a separate site, as it is auto-generated. It is also linked to from the side-bar. It might be worth adding an 'external information' section, although this was originally intended as purely an on-site reference. I wonder if anyone has an opinion on that, either way. --HappyDog 04:00, 8 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
How can we link to them, to begin with? It seems the links to each function are dynamic, and are changed on every commit to SVN. Titoxd(?!?) 07:19, 8 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
I didn't notice the link in the sidebar. That's cool. I just wanted a link to the main directory page link that, not to each function, as that would be a pain due to constant changing. Consider this item complete from my point of view, sorry for not noticing it was there. --Genidiot 15:46, 9 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Redirect[edit]

I copied the contents of this page to Manual:Contents so that it can be reached from every page with one click instead of two. We can make this page a redirect to it.--Patrick 09:09, 6 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

I think that's sensible. Originally we envisaged that Manual:Contents would be a portal to various manual pages (user manual, sysadmin manual, technical manual, etc.) but it seems like the site hasn't evolved that way - at least not yet. It currently makes more sense to have it all on that one page, we can always split them apart again later if the content warrants it. --HappyDog 02:46, 9 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
