Hi :) I never use the wysiwyg editor but i'm happy for other people to use it. If tidying needs to be done afterwards there are plenty of people that are happy to play with the wiki markup/ code.
Mark, it's good to see you are diving straight into the code too :) I seldom know the proper names of things so there is no need to apologise. It is possible to give a page a title that is slightly different from it's Url. The French Faq might be doing that to show proper Title Case rather than CamelCase-mixed_with_numbers-and_strange_inconsistent-charaters. English 'should' really be Faq/En but that would make it inconsistent with the entire rest of the LO wiki. If we did that then the French pages would need to be Faq/En/Fr. Sadly we have to stick with the way things are set-up in the rest of the LO wiki. They had to choose 1 way when the whole thing was set-up and they opted for "English as the international language" despite most of the people involved back then being non-English themselves. The languages links at the top don't work because the French team used good common sense when they set-up their pages instead of looking at how the rest of the LO wiki was set-up. We need to either 1. Rewrite the language selector and re-organise the entire LO wiki for many English pages as well as all pages for all other languages 2. Convince the French Team to change their main Faq page address to Faq/Fr 3. Sneakily add a new page called Faq/Fr and copy&paste the contents of the page FR/FAQ to it and just hope their links still work. I am in favour of option 3 and then use that to ask them if they think it's ok. It's a bit cheeky but it makes it much easier to explain. My own backups are fairly unreliable and i rarely trust other people's either. Even so i tend to lose things occasionally but that is more down to my own filing and reliability than anything. The official LO wiki back-ups seem fine.

Do you mean at the very bottom of the > page the > > [[Category: FR/FAQ/Base]] No. I mean at the top of the French pages, in the title the span tag has an id (not a class, sorry) that is a very long string, almost the same as the title (within the bounds of tag requirements). You have to look at the page's source code (could easily be press control-U when looking at the page) to see it. I don't know what this would be used for. > Things? Tbh i just ignore those. I guess your page would need to change it > to > > [[Category: Faq/Base]] I hadn't considered this. D'you think *really* it ought to change to Faq/En/Base? And, kinda related, if I'm looking at the English page and want to see the French page and don't have the link you supplied to hand, shouldn't I be able to click on "Fr" in the list of languages as the top of the page? Looks like all those links are broken... > With some pages i tend to do CtrlA CtrlC and then paste > all the wiki-code into Gedit (a text editor a bit like Notepad) and > save somewhere just in case someone really stuffs up the page irrecoverably.
