identifying spam pages and spam users
I just went through your all pages page, and identified pages that are spam and users who create spam pages. I created a redirect to the SPAM page, and created a category for spammers. To my knowledge, I have only made one mistake, which I have redressed by changing the page and the user's page. (both the page and user didn't have any information on it, so I mis-guessed that it was SPAM, when it really was just unfinished. DavidWhitten 20:25, 2 March 2011 (GMT)

Some questions about the site
JMB 09:07, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello, nice to meet you, and thank you for your comment. I would like to know if you are employed by Intersystems, or if you're just like me, a user and developer. Did you make advertisement for this site ? Maybe people who have personal tips of their homepage could transfer it to this wiki. I think about Sukesh Hoogan, who had a nice page some years ago with many things I referred to when learning Caché. Last but not least, I would like to have some infos on the stability and perenity of this site: I wouldn't like to contribute and see suddenly everything disappeared... How do you manage the site, is it backed up, ...The best would be that Intersystems host it themselves (with a risk of more severe moderation though).

Thank you for this great idea of Caché Wiki, be sure I will add a lot more things !

Wiki Navigation
I was admiring your Wiki and just wanted to make the observation that there are a lot of organising Articles.

For example the page Scripting

This is a navigation page whose purpose is to list links to other pages.

Is this going to get way to difficult to maintain?

I was wondering why not just use wiki catagories instead. This way the MediaWiki software creates category pages with links for you.

I have created the category Technical to demonstrate what I mean.

Installation and Scripting are sub categories.

The links on these pages are added / maintained automatically by the Wiki software.

Ie on the child page one puts and that page is now a child of category scripting.

Another benefit of this is that a page can have more than one category and categories can have more than one category parent.

I suppose this seems a bit counter-intuitive from a background where everything is organised hierachacally. :)

 * Alex, you are welcome to add categories. The initial structure was just something quick to get things started.  As it evolves  I'm hoping new structures will emerge.  Do whatever is most useful for your own purposes.  MrCache 17:36, 14 September 2009 (BST)
