Description (last modified by Christian Boos)

I think adding properties to Wiki pages would be a great feature. Such as owner, cc, rss feeds, and specifcally, properites.

Some ideas for properties include

  • Publishing status - Published | Nonpublished
  • Document Status - In Progress | Complete | Inconsistent | etc..

The idea for this is that I am in the process currently of adding content to the Wiki, however some items that I am documenting have not been completed either in terms of the documentation or having the items being documented having been completed. I would like to be able to have an owner associated with the Wiki, perhaps a list of people who want to subscribe to change notifications for a particular wiki page, and a report for instance that the owner could view to see which pages they have that are in various states a defined by my definition of the various properties.

My definitions may need some refining but the idea still holds. Anyway, I would be happy to discuss this further and possibly try to create some patches to demonstrate what I'm discussing if interested.

See my TracObjectModelProposal and watch what's happening on the source:branches/cboos-dev/xref-branch

I started the objectification of Trac there, as the basics are needed for the cross-references themselves, but I plan to push further the objectification in the future source:branches/cboos-dev/trac-obj-branch, in which I'll promote the management of ticket properties at the generic level, in such a way that Wiki object could also have base properties and custom properties.

This would be an excellent extension module for a more sophisticated handling of wiki pages. We are using Trac for several projects and it becomes obvious that in some cases the actual wiki page properties are not sufficient. I'll be very pleased if it gets realized in a future Trac release. Regard, Eike

Is there still something in development for this ticket ?

TracTags offers somewhat of a solution. Its not great, but its a start. If nothing else you could use it as an example of how to make something more specific as a plugin.
