Wiki Maintenance

Technical documentation for maintaining the folk.zone wiki.

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

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

• Headers: Use ===== for H1, ==== for H2, etc.
• Links: [[namespace:page|Display Text]] or Display Text
• Bold: text
• Italic: text
• Code: text
• Lists: * for bullets, - for numbered lists
• Code blocks:

Run the link checking script to ensure bidirectional links:

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:

cd wiki-live
git add .
git commit -m "Update wiki content"
git push
