====== Wiki Maintenance ======

Technical documentation for maintaining the folk.zone wiki.

===== Accessing the Wiki =====

The wiki content is stored in the wiki-live directory. This directory is mirrored to the DokuWiki container volume.

===== Local Development =====

To edit wiki content locally:

  1. Edit .txt files in wiki-live/
  2. Changes are automatically reflected in the running DokuWiki instance
  3. Use DokuWiki syntax for formatting

===== DokuWiki Syntax =====

  * **Headers**: Use ===== for H1, ==== for H2, etc.
  * **Links**: %%[[namespace:page|Display Text]]%% or [[page|Display Text]]
  * **Bold**: **text**
  * **Italic**: //text//
  * **Code**: ''text''
  * **Lists**: ''*'' for bullets, ''-'' for numbered lists
  * **Code blocks**: <code>your code here</code>

===== Link Checking =====

Run the link checking script to ensure bidirectional links:

<code bash>
python3 wiki_linkcheck.py --fix
</code>

This ensures all child pages link back to their parent namespace.

===== Backup =====

The wiki content is in Git. Regular commits ensure backup:

<code bash>
cd wiki-live
git add .
git commit -m "Update wiki content"
git push
</code>
