Hello,
I'm new in mediawiki and trying to figure out if it is good enough for our specification writing technique.
My test site is: choco.miraheze.org
Yet we are using MS Word because it can using dynamic cross-references in the document so the whole documentation is in relation in other part of the documentation.
The following exetnsions are probably could interest me:
- VisualEditor: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor
- CrossReference: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CrossReference
- LinkTitles: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LinkTitles
- Mobile Frontend: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MobileFrontend
- DynamicPageList: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DynamicPageList_(Wikimedia)
- CategoryTree: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CategoryTree
- Semantic Text Annotator: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Text_Annotator (declined)
- PDF Book: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PdfBook
- Collection: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Collection
Also, there could be some other extensions, so it's easier to explain what I'd like to do:
- Making table of content page with (Dyanmic Page List + Category tree?)
- Exporting the whole wiki to portable reading format. PDF is better for annotation, but HTML is good enough (PDFBook + Collection?)
- Annotation / commeting on wiki pages or if it's possible even of the part of the page. (Semantic Text Annotator?)
- If there is any solution to using dynamic cross reference. For example in MS Word there is ability to add words from the bookmark / cross-references linked to paragraphs in the same documentation as a name which is also linked to the paragraph. If the paragraph's name in the documentation is changed the inserted dynamic word also changed. This is good if an element name later is changed and I don't have to change all over the documentation just in the main section / wikipage name. As I see VisualEditor is almost helping to find wikipages to link there but don't know if there is a more complex module for this. (VisualEditor + CrossReference + LinkTitles?)
Thank you,
Gabriel
