            <title>Feature request: Different link color for nonexistent pages</title>
            <link>http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/17163</link>
            <author>jdavet</author>
            <description><![CDATA[Having done quite a bit of editing of devnet wiki pages over the last ~2 weeks, I encountered many shortcomings of the wiki system &#40;compared to what I&#8217;m used to from Wikipedia&#41; which I believe unnecessarily reduce the usability, ease of editing, and maintainability of wiki content and thus ultimately limit the devnet wiki&#8217;s potential in becoming a great community resource.

	Trying to to resist the temptation to start a big rant ranging from the fragility of Textile markup to missing world peace, I&#8217;ll start with a small (but IMO quite important) issue:
Links to other pages within the wiki (using the &#91;[&#8230;]] syntax) don&#8217;t provide any visual indication of whether that page actually exists or not.

	This is an issue because:

	
		Users who misspell or mis&#45;format their links won&#8217;t notice.
Typos in the main text will get noticed during proof&#45;reading &#8211; typos in link URLs not as likely (or when was the last time you clicked on every single link in a page you edited to double&#45;check that they all work?)
Just a few days ago I fixed a wiki page created by another user who mistakenly used the &#91;[&#8230;]] syntax for external links (as in &#91;[http&#58;//example.com/|Link Caption]]), and didn&#8217;t notice the mistake when previewing/submitting the page because the wiki happily presented the link captions in bright green color (like any other links), with no indication that they were actually linking to non&#45;existing wiki pages like &#8220;http://qt&#45;project.org/wiki/http:example.com&#8221;.
	

	
		Planning/&#8220;earmarking&#8221; pages for future creation becomes visitor&#45;unfriendly.
As an example, consider this wiki page I&#8217;ve created, pointing to a list of other wiki pages &#8211; some of which already exist, some of which don&#8217;t.
A visitor clicking on one of the pages only to find it empty would feel annoyed (&#8220;false advertising&#8221;), and after clicking on two or so of them and finding them all empty, he/she might even assume that there is no useful information to be found here at all, and leave disappointed (even though some of the pages do in fact already exist, and contain lots of info).
Yet, at the same time I really don&#8217;t want to refrain from adding those links in advance (before all the pages actually exist), because it makes the intended scope of that &#8220;page collection&#8221; nicely self&#45;explanatory, and provides a convenient way for myself or others to create the missing pages one by one in the future (in a way that guarantees that they will be given the &#8220;correct&#8221; page name, in line with the naming scheme of their already existing siblings).
	

	For comparison:
	
		Wikipedia shows links which point to nonexistent wiki pages in red color.]]></description>

            <title>Is there a way to hide URL domains when linking to external websites?</title>
            <link>http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/15509</link>
            <author>qgil</author>
            <description><![CDATA[Hi, I get the point of showing the domain where an external link is pointing in wiki pages, and I like this functionality most of times. However, it really gets annoying in some cases e.g. http://qt&#45;project.org/wiki/Qt&#45;Essentials&#45;Modules

	Is there a wiki syntax parameter to hide those URLs? Also, what tool is this DevNet wiki and where can &#8220;upstream&#8221; information be found?

	Thank you.]]></description>

            <author>fuho</author>
            <description><![CDATA[Hi everyone,
I am new here (and new to QT too :) ) and I&#8217;d like to do things correctly. When I find something in a wiki article that I think should be fixed, should I just fix it myself, or add a comment below and have someone check it first?

	1st Example:
Links in this article http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Category:LanguageBindings::PySide::Newbie_Tutorials [developer.qt.nokia.com] didn&#8217;t work, so I edited the page and fixed that.

	2nd Example:
On this page http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/WikiSyntax [developer.qt.nokia.com] scroll down to Add a Table of Contents and you will see that someone instead of editing the page, commented on changes he/she would suggest bellow the &#8220;error&#8221; (line starting with &#8220;//&#8221;)

	Which is the correct approach?

	Also if you go to http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Category:LanguageBindings::PySide , you will find that there are 7 subcategories and two of them are &#8220;Newbie_Tutorials&#8221; and &#8220;Newbie Tutorials&#8221; and only &#8220;Newbie_Tutorials&#8221; is a valid article. Is there a way for me to fix that?

	Thanks in advance for reply.]]></description>
