Wiki features | ||
This section can be used to enable/disable specific Wiki features.
SandboxThe Sandbox page allows users to practice their Wiki page editing skills. The Sandbox is a special page where everybody has write permission and no history is saved. Anonymous editors must input anti-bot codeIf enabled, when members of the Anonymous group edit pages (with permission), they must enter a CAPTCHA code before saving the page. This will reduce the amount of spam in your wiki pages.

DumpIf enabled, dumps can be created and saved. ExportIf enabled, users can {ALINK(aname=Export_Wiki_Pages}export{ALINK} individual pages and structure pages content as a file (requires tiki_p_admin_wiki permission).

CommentsIf enabled, Wiki pages can have comments. This feature overlaps the Wiki Discussion__ feature, you can read the note about Wiki pages comments/discussion at the bottom of this page. See Page Comments for more information. Use templatesIf enabled, users editing a Wiki page can select a template for the page. A template is a pre-defined content for a Wiki page. See Content Templates to learn how to create templates for wiki pages. PicturesIf enabled users can quickly add images (pictures) to a Wiki page by simply uploading the picture when editing a page. The picture will be stored in img/wiki_up using the name of the picture as an ID. Use the Remove Unused Pictures to remove any pictures that have been uploaded but are no longer used in a wiki page. Cache Wiki pagesIf enabled then Wiki pages can be cached, so the page is remembered after being generated and the Tiki engine will not have to parse the page content to display it. After the indicated time passes or if the page is changed, the cache is invalidated. In versions >= 2.1, the cache is only used for anonymous visitors, so user permissions do not affect the cache. Individual cacheIf enabled then cache times can be set for each individual page, overriding the global cache time setting. Users can save to notepadIf enabled and if the user's notepad feature is enabled and if the user is logged a save icon will be shown when viewing a page, letting the user save the page to his or her personal notepad. Users can lock pagesIf enabled then users with permission to lock pages can lock pages and only the user who locked a page or admin can unlock it. Use WikiWordsIf enabled then words using the Wiki naming convention of Smashed words will automatically become links. WikiWords start with capital letters and include capitals in the middle of the word (example: ThisIsAWikiWord). Note: In Tiki 1.9, this option was enabled, by default, for new installations. Starting with 2.0, this option is no longer enabled, by default, for new installations. Accept dashes and underscore in WikiWordsIf enabled, Tikiwiki will allow WikiWords to include dashes and underscores.
Link plural WikiWords to their singluar formsIf enabled, Tikiwiki will automatically link (combine) singluar and pluarl WikiWords. For example, the WikiWords MyWord and MyWords will link to the same wiki page: MyWord.
User pagesIf enabled, each user will have a personal wiki page which only (s)he can edit. The prefix is configurable.

Table syntaxThis selects which Wiki syntax to use for cretaing rows within tables. Select either: || or \n (line break).
Use Wiki paragraph formattingIf this is enabled, adjacent lines of text will be formatted as paragraphs. Paragraphs are separated by blank lines or Wiki commands.
But still create line breaks within paragraphsIf enabled (and if the Use Wiki paragraph formatting option is enabled), Tikiwiki will use the paragraph formatting options, but paragraphs will remain within the same element, but will contain spacing. Automonospaced textIf this is enabled, the Tiki code lines starting with at least one space are interpreted and rendered with monospaced font. Generally if you have occasional users this can get them puzzled and wondering what's happening. As an alternative, you can use the monospace wiki syntax (-+monospace+-) to create monospaced font. Uses SlideshowIf enabled users can generate slideshows from structures.
Make structure from pageIf enabled, a Make Structure button will be added to Wiki pages. Using this button will create a new structure with the current Wiki page automatically added as the "head" of the structure. See Structure Admin for more information.
