Landing Pages

From Joomla! Documentation

The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.

I'd like to change this paragraph:

The following is a list of keywords, [..]. please add the following at the end of the page: [[Category:Landing Pages]] and remove the entry from this list. Thank you.

into (changes marked bold):

The following is a list of keywords, [...] please add the following at the top of the page: {{disambig}} and remove the entry from this list. Thank you.

The templates outputs the "disambiguatiion message" and adds the landing Pages category. The pages also appear in Special:Disambiguations for that matter. --CirTap 09:05, 25 January 2008 (EST)


Not sure all of these terms require disambiguation. Or did you have higher purpose in mind? :-) --Chris Davenport 10:20, 25 January 2008 (EST)


I alwas do ;-) ... Ok, right, not all are ambiguous, but still many :-) At least those that have a equally or similar named counterparts in the Joomla! Framework: a 'J' class or package, or if there are extensions that also deal with the subject. Remember that I'll "polute" the Main namespace with all the package names. I'll explain this in detail in the test wiki where we can also discuss pros and cons.

I believe this is not only for "Google", but if one enters any of these terms in the search box and hits "Go" s/he'll be taken directly to that page; no search happens, and search engines have "priorized links" to follow.

Examples:

ACL
Access Control List -- the article explaining ACL in general
Joomla! 1.5 database schema/jos_core_acl_aro -- and other jos_core_acl_*
JACL -- the class
User (Package) -- the package
User Manager -- the related Back-end screen / section about user groups

This one's a true candidate, imho

Configuration
configuration.php
Global configuration
Configuration changes in Joomla! 1.5
.. and each "Component Configuration screen" in the Back-end (link to help.joomla.org) using the interwiki.

Whether these pages should also be named "Foobar (disambiguation)" is a matter of the JDOC:PG ;-)

So this list might need a review of what is ambigous, add this as a note as done for Installation, and enhance the instruction to use the Category as is and 'disambig' for any landing pages marked as such. How's that? --CirTap 11:12, 25 January 2008 (EST)


Ahh, okay, I didn't realise that the wiki search would behave like that! I think this makes perfect sense now. Go for it. --Chris Davenport 11:45, 25 January 2008 (EST)
