  • Links to mailinglists and bug id's can now be written in a short hand syntax [[list@<message-id>]] and [[bug@<bug-id>]]. Examples:
    • [[bugid@30329]] will create a link as follows bug #30329
    • [[php-internals@121474728513853|my link]] will create a link as follows my link
  • Registering on the wiki now requires solving a captcha from recaptcha.net
  • The RSS feed now defaults to providing a diff of the changes.

This wiki is still under going development. Here are some notes on the current state:

• People with a valid svn.php.net password can login without any additional configuration. However you cannot change your profile. To change your password or recover a lost password use the master.php.net tools. You should have all rights to manage the wiki, but you do not have access to the admin panel.
• We are leveraging namespaces to better separate content.
• Especially in the beginning, try to think a bit when you add content to ensure that we start things off somewhat clean. I will be trying to housekeep the wiki a bit to prevent things from going totally crazy. Please do not add project specific links here and do not create project specific sections (like your favourite framework or library)
• Users familiar with other wiki software, like MediaWiki (Wikipedia), may use the wikimatrix.org or markup_compare tools for wiki syntax comparisons.
• Please do not move wiki pages around because this loses the changelog/history. For now, either ask an Admin to do the move, or wait for the ability to do this properly yourself. This feature will exist in the future.

A list of open todo items for this wiki is also available.
