How about starting to split-off the FAQ into sub-pages?
Greetings!
I'm thinking about starting to split-off the FAQ into sub-pages, because this one is getting pretty big already.
My idea is to start with ParaView, since I've been answering a lot of questions on this topic on the CFD-Online forums and I think that soon I'll start to forget answers I've already given and repeated questions are starting to occur.
So, the idea was to:
- Create the sub-page Main FAQ/ParaView and paraFoam.
- Transfer the FAQ for it from the Main FAQ, while preserving the respective headers with links to the new location, since there are several outside linkks pointing to existing section headers/anchors.
- Then to continue adding new answers for frequent questions regarding ParaView.
For reference, the sources of new information for this will be:
- http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/paraview/
- http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam-paraview/
- http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/blogs/wyldckat/533-related-issues-paraview-openfoam-fixes-solutions.html

Hi Bernhard,
OK, I'm in! If you can pre-up a quick example with the Semantic-thingamabob for the new FAQ + FAQ/ParaView, I'll populate it with some heavy-duty copy-pasting mission :)
Best regards, Bruno
I've added a page FAQ and FAQLong which are basically queries. The page FAQ/General is the first section of the old Main_FAQ copied over. The way stuff looks needs some work:
I've finished the mission of copy-paste-adjusting all of the other sections for the new FAQ. I'll try to take take to start adding new stuff regarding ParaView next weekend.
In the mean time, the section breaks are looking a bit strange in the FAQLong page, because the description seems to be floating between the section header and its content. Which leads me to this question: should each section and sub-section have a space before the header starts?
It's just that I personally prefer a nice space prepended to each header title, since it makes it a bit easier to see what I'm looking for.
By the way, while editing this reply, there was this strange code below the line with the buttons "Save page" et al:
//<![CDATA[ var GME_SMALL_ICON; var editors_options
and it continues for a while... until:
addLoadEvent(insertGoogleMapLinks); //]]>
Thanks for your work:
Concerning the problem with the FAQLong: had a look at http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Embedded_format but there seems to be no parameter to add stuff before or after the pages and I'm afraid http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Template_format doesn't allow me to include whole pages
The strange out: I noticed it too. It seems like the extension for threaded discussions and the new editor clash. I'll have a look
I decided to switch the new FAQ online despite the minor formatting problems. THe old FAQ is now Read-only and will be removed eventually
