New page

__NOTOC__
== Admin HowTo ==

<noinclude>{{PrF_UG_TOC_help}}<div id='prf_ug'></noinclude>

Aside from cleaning up problems caused by imprudent editing,
the guide should be require little administration.
The main difficulties will be associated with structural changes,
such as when a page is added, deleted, or renamed.

=== Adding Pages ===

Adding a page is the simplest case,
because no existing links will need to be changed.
However, there are still a few details to consider.

The first consideration is page naming.
Decide which chapter the page belongs in,
then choose an unused name that follows the same pattern
as existing pages in that chapter.
For example, this page is named <tt>PrF_UG_help_admin_howto</tt>.
The first part of the name (<tt>PrF_UG_help</tt>)
indicates that it is part of the Protege-Frames User's Guide "Help" chapter.
The remainder of the name (<tt>admin_howto</tt>) is mnemonic of the page topic.

When a new page (eg, <tt>PrF_UG_help_overview</tt>) is added,
it should be listed in the relevant Aggregate (<tt>PrF_UG_help_all</tt>)
and Template (<tt>Template:PrF_UG_TOC_help</tt>) pages.
This isn't hard to do;
just decide where the page should appear in the Table of Contents sidebar
and edit the two files so that it shows up there in each one.
Finally, add links in other pages, as appropriate.

=== Deleting Pages ===

If a page no longer has a valid purpose, or it seems appropriate to merge pages,
you may need to delete a page.
Removing the pages entries from the relevant Aggregate and Template pages is easy.
The tricky part is finding all the other pages which mention the deleted page.
Fortunately, MediaWiki provides a "special" page for this exact purpose.
Let's assume you need to delete <tt>PrF_UG_foo_bar</tt>:

* Go to [[Special:WhatLinksHere]].
* Enter the <tt>PrF_UG_foo_bar</tt> in the Page field.
* Click the Go button.
* Follow the listed links and edit the pages as needed.
* Try another search, as a sanity check!

=== Renaming Pages ===

The exact page name, as used by MediaWiki,
does not have to have any strong relationship to the page's title or topic.
In fact, some of the current page names are a bit fuzzy in that regard.
So, you're probably better off living with a funky page name.

However, if you <i>really</i> need to change a page name,
the simplest strategy is probably to add a new page,
copying over the old page's content.
Then, delete the old page.
Of course, it's up to you to update all the relevant tables and links.
