= Ideas and suggestions for Trac's Wiki

This page collects ideas and suggestions for enhancing the TracWiki and its WikiFormatting (TracLinks, WikiProcessors, WikiMacros, etc.)

If you have a small nice idea but don't feel like starting a discussion on the MailingList or creating a new ticket, this is the place!

== Recap of open issues

 - There are a [[TicketQuery(status!=closed,component~=wiki,format=count)]] open issues in total:  [[TicketQuery(status!=closed,component~=wiki,format=compact)]]
 - See also existing proposals on [TracDev/Proposals/AdvancedWikiFormatting AdvancedWikiFormatting], which contain ideas for a lot of small improvements.

== WikiFormatting

=== Improvements for TracLinks

 - Auto-labelling: when an explicit label is not given, we use the target for the label; often we just want the last part of the target, which leads to somewhat redundant links like: 
   {{{
[TracDev/Proposals/AdvancedWikiFormatting AdvancedWikiFormatting]
[source:trunk/trac/wiki/api.py wiki/api.py]
   }}}
   Often, we could use `//` as a hint for using only the last part of the target as the label. The above could be rewritten:
   {{{
[TracDev/Proposals//AdvancedWikiFormatting] 
[source:trunk/trac//wiki/api.py]
   }}}

== Page templates

 - Suggest the most appropriate template: if we're asked to create a TracIdeas/XYZ page then the default page template should be PageTemplates/TracIdeas if it exists
 - Parameterized page templates: replace certain keywords in the page template. For example when creating TracIdeas/Timeline using the template
   {{{
   = Ideas and suggestions for Trac's $name

   This page collects ideas and suggestions for enhancing $name

   [[TicketQuery(status!=closed,keywords~=$name)]]

   ----
   See also:
   - TracDev/ScratchPad/$name
   }}}
   you would automatically get:
   {{{
   = Ideas and suggestions for Trac's Timeline

   This page collects ideas and suggestions for enhancing Timeline.

   [[TicketQuery(status!=closed,keywords~=Timeline)]]

   ----

   - TracDev/ScratchPad/Timeline
   }}}
  
== Other glitches

 - Update TracIni since v0.11 : add ''file'' parameter in ''[inherit]'' bloc to include an ini file and say See Global configuration for details.
   Furthermore, it seems several files can be included adding a ''file=...'' line for each one.
