(:Summary: Terms related to PmWiki:) This page describes various terms related to PmWiki. :Author: Any user with privileges to write to the wiki. :Admin: The person (or people) who controls access to the wiki, configures the wiki, and generally is the person who installed the wiki. :Configuration file: A specially-named PHP script file where local customizations can take place for a farm, a wiki, a group, or a page. :Default configuration: The way Pm has chosen to set all settings, or an individual setting, by default. For example, $EnablePathInfo is disabled by default. A wiki with no ''local/config.php'' file is using the default configuration. Likewise, a farm that only defines $FarmPubDirUrl in ''farmconfig.php'' is using the default configuration. [[#farm]] :Farm: A group of wikis that share code. Content and formats may or may not be shared. For more farm-related terms, including several which have been deprecated, see [[WikiFarmTerminology]] :Farm-wide configuration file: A WikiFarm's ''local/farmconfig.php'' file, where any settings (besides $FarmPubDirUrl) customize the default configuration for all of the wikis in a farm. :Full page name: The ''full page name'' consists of a group and a name, e.g. [@Main.WikiSandbox@]. The variable for the full page name is [@{$FullName}@], which for this page is @@{$FullName}@@. Similarly, the variable for the group is [@{$Group}@] which here is @@{$Group}@@. :Group: A collection of associated wiki pages; by default this appears in the page name as "Group.PageName". Attributes can be set on all pages in the group simultaneously. The variable for the group is [@{$Group}@], which here is @@{$Group}@@. :Local configuration file: A specially-named PHP script where local customizations can take place for an individual wiki. For an entire wiki it's named ''local/config.php''. Individual groups and pages can also have their own local configuration files. :Local customization: Any deviation from the default configuration. A related phrase is "farm-wide customization". :Page file name: The ''page file name'' is the name of the file that normally stores the data of a page in the directory [@wiki.d/@]. This file name is normally built directly from the page name. :Page link: A ''page link'' is something that is used to generate a link to a page. For example, the markup [@[[wiki sandbox]]@], [@[[(wiki) sandbox]]@], [@WikiSandbox@], [@Main/WikiSandbox@], [@[[Main/wiki sandbox]]@], [@[[Main.WikiSandbox | click here]]@], etc all specify a link to the page '[=Main.WikiSandbox=]'. In each case PmWiki uses the context of the link to generate a page name from the page link -- normally by capitalizing each word found in the link and stripping any characters that aren't considered valid in page names. :Page name: The ''page name'' is a string that PmWiki uses to refer to a page - i.e. it ''names the page''. This could also be considered a ''handle'' for the page. The variable for the page name is simply called [@{$Name}@], which for this page is @@{$Name}@@. -> Note that there is no whitespace in page names, and by default PmWiki capitalizes each word in a page's name. There is however a variable [@{$Namespaced}@] where spaces have been inserted, e.g. for the page [=WikiSandbox=] this variable would be [@Wiki Sandbox@]. -> Note that PmWiki also uses the page name to locate per-group and per-page customization files in the [@local/@] subdirectory. For example, browsing [=Main.WikiSandbox=] would cause [@local/Main.WikiSandbox.php@] and [@local/Main.php@] to be loaded if these files existed. :Page title: A ''page title'' is the title element of a page, i.e. what is usually shown above the page and in the browser window's name. This title is normally set via the directive [@(:title:)@], but if no such directive is given the title will be automatically generated from the page name. The title of a page is accessed via either the variable [@{$Title}@] or the variable [@{$Titlespaced}@]. The latter differs in that it uses the spaced version of the name. :Page URI: Page names are used in `URIs to tell PmWiki which page is to be loaded or acted upon. The normal form of a page URI is usually one of these two --> [@http://www.example.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.WikiSandbox@] --> [@http://www.example.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main.WikiSandbox@] -> Note that various aliasing and rewriting tricks can be used to modify this, but PmWiki expects to obtain a page name from the parameter 'n' or from the [@PATH_INFO@] component following the URI of the script ([@pmwiki.php@]). -> Note that the parameter 'n' takes precedence over [@PATH_INFO@] if both are available. :Wikifarm:Synonymous for "[[#farm | farm]]".
