Hi Sancho,

please do not create new pages under Kb/ but use RU/Kb/ instead as the pages are russian. see Help:Translating and Help:Page_naming for details.

Another thing i am wondering about is the strange pagetitles (basically huge numbers) you are using. Why dont you use "speaking" pagetitles? It makes the content much easier to find.

Pagetitles that are just numbers make it very difficult for the MediaWiki search tool to find any content unless the number is something people will search. The MediaWiki search tool searches page titles FIRST and returns the results. If it cannot find matches on Page title, then it does a best guess based on page content (and doesn't do an especially good job). Meaningful pagetitles are very important in a Wiki. So... please consider using something other than numbers. --ccornell 13:06, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

To mark pages to be deleted, add {{delete}} to the page, and it will be deleted in the routine maintenance. --ccornell 13:06, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Breadcrumbs will be added automatically if you set up your sub pages correctly. Then, you do not need to add links at the top of the page to take readers back to the parent page (I've noticed that this has been done on all the new pages I've looked at). For the breadcrumbs to work, you must make sure that there is content at each subpage level (eg there is no content at RU right now, and there should be) - any extra redirects that are in place right now may need to be fixed and cleaned up (there are redirects at RU/Kb and RU/kb pointing at RU/Knowledge_base). --ccornell 13:16, 1 April 2010 (UTC)


Hello, B michaelsen, ccornell.


Thank you for your assistance and attention to my work.

I try to fix remarks from you and follow the rules.


We are creating a new project - "The OpenOffice.org Knowledge Base”.

My activity has few goals:

  • Users do not speak English
  • For russian-speaking users use english page names for searching is impossible.
  • The URL with cyrilic symbols are showing in "percent‐encoded" form. It is very difficult to input and dictate by telephone. For telephone talk are easier say numbers then URL.


I found that the wiki url case sensitive.

URL with RU/Kb != RU/kb != Ru/kb != ru/kb != Knowledge base. But logically they are equal. So I had to make a redirects.

I have seen "Automatic Breadcrumbs".. In addition, I have adding links to missing pages in Breadcrumbs, if such links are logically related to the context.
