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

WikiFormatting

  • 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)]]

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.
