Status Dashboard
At Tiki.org, the "backlinks to index" method can be used to "mark" pages to indicate their status. This is a very simple and fast wiki-based method, using the PluginBacklinks. If you think a status tag should apply to a page, just link that page to the appropriate status tag page. A tag can represent a step in the documentation lifecycle status, or can simply be used to highlight pages on this site that need attention from authors.
Tags
Place a delete Tag on any page that you believe should be deleted, also giving the reason why. For example:
List of pages with the delete tag:
If you think that you have found errors in the document (misleading or plain wrong information), place this tag at the point where the error was found, with an explanation of the error. For example:
List of pages with the errors tag:
a user is looking for help with a specific documentation problem
The help tag is used to identify a feature or setting that requires more info from a developer or more experienced user. Place the tag at the point where help is needed. If you are tagging an item inside a wiki table, place a tag in the table at the spot you need help and put a box underneath the table. For example:
Upper Case Allowed? | Allows upper case if checked |
Superformat? | I need help understanding what superformat does |

- consult the Editorial board,
- create a wiki page with the name of the tag you want to create, and on that page:
- add a PluginBacklinks with no parameters set
- add an internal link to Tag or Documentation Status (either of these will link to this page)
- edit this current page (Documentation Status) and add a tab for your tag in the chapter above, or add a comment to the page,
- add an explaination on the purpose of the tag in the new tab/comment,
- consider adding a section to this page to explain the purpose of the tag.
