NMS Index Development Documentation
How it works
NoMansSky Index is a top-level Cat for holding the subCats used for the Index's automatic lists (#ask calls):
- Example:
{{#ask:|mainlabel=-|?|format=ul|sep=|class=list-unstyled}}
Adding or removing a subCat from a page will add or remove the page from the "All content" lists on the Index page. This is the extent of the automation for the Index. The remainder of the links are manually added.
So pages are not "double listed", both manually and under "All content", simply remove the Cat from the page, thus removing it from the auto-list.
NOTE
Everyone involved is aware having an Index page, such as this, adds manual maintenance. There are better ways to accomplish this, however, not in an 'Index' format, as is being requested.Step's "compromise" to this maintenance is the auto-listed content under the "All content" subheadings...users can add the correct Cats/Properties to still have their content listed without having to worry about the Index, itself. Curators can take care of the Index at their leisure.
New Properties
- NMS_Index
- Used to classify No Mans Sky pages for their Index page
- type=Text
- strictly "allowed values"
Using Properties
Properties are applied to pages, similar to Cats: PropertyName::Value
Unassigned Property Values
- NMS_Index::Uncategorized
- Holds pages that are uncategorized due to users being unsure of which categories/properties to use for the new page.
- A new "maintenance" page will be created to auto-list all of these pages. From there, the Curators can quickly view pages that require attention for proper categorization.
