Create a tag for the current wiki Push the button to create a tag Restore the wiki Push the button to restore a tag Remove a tag Push the button to remove a tag Tags: A tag is a mark in the current state of the Wiki. They can be used to save the Wiki at regular intervals and to recover the whole Wiki to a particular state if something disastrous occurred. To create a tag simply enter a tag name and click the create tag button. To restore a tag select one of the existing tags and click restore (all your Wiki pages will be lost and the saved state for the wiki will be restored!). Since tags can take a lot of space you can remove tags that you don't want to use by clicking the remove tag button after selecting the tag that you don't want to use anymore.

Wiki comments settings

Wiki pages can have comments. In this panel you can select the default number of comments to view for Wiki pages and how comments will be sorted. Push the button to change preferences

Wiki attachments

A Wiki page can have attached files. In this panel you can configure whether attachments are allowed and where to store the files. You can store attachments in the database or a directory. The directory path can be absolute (example: /foo/bar/uploads/) or relative to the Tiki directory (example: files/).

• Click on the button to change preferences

The trailing slash is mandatory.

Export Wiki Pages

The Export link can be used to export all your Wiki pages to a PHPWiki compatible format. Then you can import pages if you want using the Import PHPWiki Dump link in the Admin menu. Each page is exported to a file where all the versions of the page are stored in MIME format.

• Click on the link to export wiki pages

Remove unused pictures

This link can be used to remove all the pictures that are stored in the Wiki pictures directory (img/wiki_up) but are not referenced in any Wiki page.

• Click on the link to remove unused pictures

Wiki Home Page

Indicates the name of the page that will be the HomePage for your Wiki.

• Click on the button to set the page

Wiki Discussion

Discuss pages on forums activates a discuss button on every Wiki page that takes users to a thread in the specified forum for that particular page. The forum must be created before, if not created. This allows users to create an open discourse about pages using the public forums. If the thread for a page does not exist, Tiki creates it.
Note: Wiki Discussion feature overlaps the Comments feature and was introduced because of the difficulty to spot new comments in a Wiki with many pages but this is not problematic anymore. It is similar to the Comments features and the two can be used at the same time although it is probably better to use only one.

• Click on the button to change preferences

Wiki Link Format

This control can be used to control recognition of Wiki links using the two parenthesis Wiki link syntax ((page name)).

• english allows only letters, numbers, space, underscore, dash, period and semicolon (but space, dash, period and semicolon not allowed as either the first or last characters).
• latin adds accented characters.
• complete allows anything at all but is not guaranteed to be bug-free or secure.

Note that this only affects the Wiki syntax ((page name)). It does not affect recognition of the Wiki naming convention of Smashed words starting with capital letters (example: ThisIsSomePage).

• Push the button to set the format

Wiki page list configuration

Simply determines which columns will show in the Pages screen (available as List pages in the Wiki menu).

• Push the button to set preferences
