Amarok: move outdated pages to the wiki archive

completed by: Kyle Morris

mentors: Myriam Schweingruber

Amarok long had it's own server and recently decided to move to the KDE infrastructure. This also mean moving all existing and relevant documentation to the KDE wiki. While this is already done for the handbook and user relevant pages, there is still much to move to thehttp://community.kde.org/Amarok/ location.

The old wiki location is currently blocked for new user accounts so the student will have to copy the content and paste it with a good mediawiki formatting in a sub-page of the new location.

Old wiki location: http://amarok.community.kde.org

A lot of the content in the old location will only be kept for archive purposes and needs to be moved and referenced here: http://community.kde.org/Amarok/Archives

Please look at the "Special pages" section in that wiki to find the existing pages.

New target location: http://community.kde.org/Amarok/Archives

The student needs to make new sub-pages in this section to organize the content, as well as link these new subpages in the relevant section. All pages should have the tags [[Category:Amarok]] and [[Category:Outdated]].

It is possible that the old wiki contains spam pages, these should not be moved, of course, but a link should be provided in the upload document so the page can be erased.

Also there are quite a lot of translated pages: we do not move these, as the translations are often incomplete and outdated.

Help:

The Community wiki has the same rules as the Userbase wiki, so you can refer to this document: http://userbase.kde.org/Ub-helpfiles-new-content-redirect for page editing and creating.

Mediawiki markup help -> you can find some hints here: http://userbase.kde.org/Typographical_Guidelines and of course here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Contents


Prerequisites:

Mediawiki editing knowledge, logic thinking, able to create a hierarchic documentation structure. User account on http://community.kde.org

Task completion:

A document listing and linking the old and new URLs, with details of eventual updates in the content, uploaded in the *.ods spreadsheet format. 30 pages should be moved and documented.

Please double-check the following:

  • missing tags
  • missing text preceding the page menu
  • page formatting
  • list spam pages you found, don't move them!
