How to create a new page on the Ingres Community Wiki

A good starting point is the Help Page.

Pages should be categorized by adding at least one category to each page. Typically a page will have more than one category. This allows a particular class of wiki pages to be more easily located by just utilizing a Category.

Purpose of categories

Each category's description should briefly mention and identify the subject the category covers.

Putting an item in a category

A page in any namespace can be put in a category by adding a category tag to the page (by convention, at the end of the page), e.g.:

[[Category:Category name]]

Substitute the actual name of the category in place of Category name. To be specific, in order to add an article called "Albert Einstein" to the category "People", you would edit the article and add "[[Category:People]]" (no quotes) into its page source somewhere.

This lists the page on the appropriate category page automatically and also provides a link at the page to the category page, which is in the namespace "Category". Pages can be included in more than one category by adding multiple category tags. This is an extremely important note as categories inclusions must be distinct as multiple categories cannot be referenced on one line separating them by commas.These links do not appear at the location where you inserted the tag, but at the page margin in a fixed place, depending on the skin (the bottom for MonoBook, the upper right corner for Standard). Category tags may be placed anywhere in the article, although they are typically added to the end of the article to avoid undesirable text display side effects. At Wikipedia, its policy provides that it should be put after the article text, but before any interlanguage links.

Category links are displayed in the order they occur in the article, unlike the automatic ordering of lists in the category pages themselves (see below).

Additional information relating to categories can be found at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Categories.

Available Categories

Categories available for the Ingres community can be found at Special:Categories.

To add a category to your newly created page or an existing page, see "Putting an item in a category".

Linking an article to the Coding Samples Page

The Ingres Coding Samples is made up of a number of included MediaWiki pages. You can edit the individual sections on the page to add your example or edit the smaller more self contained pages.

Pages that make up Ingres Coding Samples are:

• Code Samples/Fragments related to Database Server/Administration.
• Code Samples/Fragments related to OpenROAD.
• Code Samples/Fragments related to JDBC.
• Code Samples/Fragments related to ODBC.
• Code Samples/Fragments related to .NET.
• Code Samples/Fragments related to PHP.
• Code Samples/Fragments related to Python.
• Code Samples/Fragments related to Ruby.
• Code Samples/Fragments related to OpenAPI.

To add a reference to one of these pages to your newly created page, do the following:

• Edit the appropriate page
• Go to the location where you want to insert the reference to your page
  • Add the following lines:

|- valign="top"

|[[PageName]]or if your page name isn't super descriptive [[PageName | More Descriptive Title]]

|Description

• Preview your changes
