Prowiki is not as well documented as more established Wikis, such as Mediawiki. This page is for questions and answers not provided in the  Help.
Spurious Links
How do I prevent an ordinary word from linking to a page in a sister Wiki? I don't see anything like <nowiki>, as in Mediawiki syntax.--EdwardCherlin September 5, 2009 16:01 CET
Hi Edward, I set the context page of your EarthTreasury subwiki EarthTreasury/Context so that it only auto-links to pages in EarthTreasury (see: http://www.prowiki.org/prowiki/wiki.cgi?AutoLinkStrategies for a detailed explanation of auto-linking). The setting is * AutoLinkStrategies=N{EarthTreasury}; Within a wiki or subwiki, you can keep particular words from being linked (like Welcome) by putting in the context page * link.suppress.Welcome=y
History
Do we have page histories? Is there a way to revert unwanted edits?--EdwardCherlin September 5,

If you are logged in, see Archive at the bottom of the page. (We can change the template to move it at the top of the page, or where you like.) The Archive seems to be working fine (try it) but the Diff is broken and it's on my list to fix it.
Passwords
I have never before used a system where I had to ask an administrator to change my password. This is a major security flaw.--EdwardCherlin September 5, 2009 16:01 CET
AndriusKulikauskas September 5, 2009 18:08 CET I complained about this to. What approach would be smart? We have a mail server working (almost) so I can use that. I want to discourage people from using real passwords because I think the danger of somebody messing with our wiki is smaller than the danger of somebody getting your significant password.
I guess I have to create Talk pages manually.--EdwardCherlin September 5, 2009 16:01 CET
AndriusKulikauskas I turned them on at your Context page. See AutoSubPageList at Helmut's wiki.
Redirects?
Is there a way to create a Redirect page, in order to get a broken link to point to an existing page?--EdwardCherlin September 5, 2009 17:34 CET
AndriusKulikauskas September 5, 2009 18:05 CET I don't quite understand. Can you give me an example? See also: Page Redirection
How can I get a complete list of the pages on Earth Treasury?--EdwardCherlin September 5, 2009 17:36 CET
