New page

{{HelpPagesHeaderBar}}

Artefacts, Types, Contact etc.are organised in packages.

E.g., a model named MyModel might be located in a package ''com/example/MyModel'', and therefore in a corresponding wiki page named ''Artefact:Model/com/example/MyModel''. Similarly, a contact might be located in ''com/example/OurCEO'' and on a wikipage ''Contact:Person/com/example/OurCEO''.

In both cases, the wikipage is, technically speaking, on a subpage. Subpages are separated by slashes. Therefore, our logical package ''com/example'' corresponds to wiki subpages.

Now what happens if someone enters just ''Artefact:Model/com/example'', or ''Artefact:Model/com''? Then, simply, a nonexisting page is addressed and the user gets a corresponding "no such page" message.

But on the other hand it is very desirable to have those pages, to allow browsing of our wiki. Unfortunately, the wiki does not create automatically nonexisting parent pages, so you have to do it. But at least it is possible to list all subpages automatically. Here's how to it. ([[Help:Namepspaces|Learn more about namespaces]])

* Become familiar with [[Help:Editing|editing]] wiki pages in general. If you just want to try it out, you can do so in the [[OOModels:Sandbox]].
* If you don't already have, [[Special:Userlogin|create an account and login]] ([[Why do I need an account?]]).
* Let's assume your package is named 'com/example'.
* Let's assume our target page is a model ''MyModel''
* Create 3 wiki pages named [[Artefact:Model]], [[Artefact:Model/com]] and [[Artefact:Model/com/example]]. You can do so by linking to those pages with wiki links, like here in this sentence. You can also just type the respective URLs in your browser [http://www.oomodels.org/wiki/index.php/Artefact:Model http://www.oomodels.org/wiki/index.php/Artefact:Model] [http://www.oomodels.org/wiki/index.php/Artefact:Model/com http://www.oomodels.org/wiki/index.php/Artefact:Model/com] [http://www.oomodels.org/wiki/index.php/Artefact:Model/com/example http://www.oomodels.org/wiki/index.php/Artefact:Model/com/example] ([[Help:Structure|learn more about wiki page names]])
* Now you can [[PackageSyntax|create a package from scratch]], or you can just copy&paste the wiki code from an existing package page (depending on your page type) and adopt it to your needs.

Remark: you may have noted that the corresponding namespace exists twice: once in the ''Artefact:Model'' namespace and once in the ''Contact:Person'' namespace. So, if we have created the parent pages for ''MyModel'', for another Model ''com/sphenon/MyModel2'', we do not need to create these parent pages again, but for our contact we have to do it.
