First thing, we are online now with the new wiki, thanks to Christian.
That's why the spam is rushing in.
And I forgot to change the QuestyCaptcha default questions, so the
barrier was quite low. To check if this is the only problem, I changed
the question now to an unsolvable one, temporarily. Ideas for good
questions, anyone?
As soon as the spam issue is sorted out, I will restore the database to
an older state -- so please don't do any editing until then.
SSL, I would suggest to get a commercial cert like Alexander offered to
do. We will hopefully also attract people who are food-savvy, but not
tech-savvy, so the page access should work without irritation.
Regarding structure and namespaces:
MediaWiki gives three possibilities to structure content pages:
namespaces (page named like "Recipe:Foo"), categories (page tagged with
[[Category:Recipe]] in body) und subpages (like subdirectories, page
named like "Recipe/Foo").
Currently, we are using namespaces for recipes, categories for projects
and associated groups and also subpages¹.
My idea was to use an extra namespace only for recipes, using
categories there for an orthogonal dimension, e.g. key ingredients.
So I would tag event pages with [[Category:Event]] at the bottom of the
page. Maybe additionally laying them out as subpages to have nice URLs
like /Events/Bar_Event_2014.
Would be great if someone with more (Media)Wiki experience could
comment on this.
Sincerely,
