The Grenzland Wiki

You need to have a Grenzland account and password in order to edit this wiki.

There is a dedicated wiki man page on the grenzland.club server. Start there.

man wiki

The Oddmu pages are also available on the web.

Markdown

The wiki supports Markdown with the following extensions:

• [[word]] is the equivalent of [word](word).
• #hashtag is a hashtag and is used to speed up searches.
• @username@instance is a fedi account link.

Access

Access control is delegated to the web server. Here’s how to change the access permissions for a subdirectory.

Let’s create a subdirectory called “alex” by editing a page such as alex/index. In order to save the file, the subdirectory is created automatically.

Now return to the command line and edit the site configuration:

sudo vi /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/100-wiki.conf

Add a section like the following:

	<LocationMatch "^/(edit|save|add|append|upload|drop)/alex/">
          Require user alex
        </LocationMatch>

This limits the actions for URLs matching the given pattern to the user alex.

Reload the web server config to set it live:

sudo apachectl graceful

Templates

The HTML files at the top level are used as templates. This is where you change the links at the top and the bottom, the email address for contacts, the colour theme.

If you create pages in a subdirectory, you can make copies of the templates you are interested in and change them in your subdirectory. Each subdirectory also has its own Home and Changes page.

Files and directories

certbot was used to add the wiki.grenzland.club subdomain.

You can add and edit files directly without using a browser: Use oddmu notify your-page.md to update changes.md in the same directory. If your page name starts with an ISO date, it’s considered to be a blog entry and added to index.md. If it contains a hashtag and page with the same name exists, it is added there, too.
