Wiki Maintenance

Technical documentation for maintaining the folk.zone wiki.

The wiki content lives in the folkzone-new/wiki-live directory. This directory is mirrored to the DokuWiki container volume.

To edit wiki content locally:

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

• Headers: Use ===== for H1, ==== for H2, etc.
• Links: Display Text or Display Text
• Bold: text
• Italic: text
• Code: text
• Lists: Use * for bullet points,: for numbered lists
• Code blocks:

Run the link checking script to ensure bidirectional links:

```bash python3 wiki_linkcheck.py –fix ```

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

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

```bash cd folkzone-new/wiki-live git add . git commit -m “Update wiki content” git push ```
