Did you really look at the documentation or is this some kind of a formal check? I’m afraid there is much more to do than what is suggested here.

3

More like a Status Report. I’m trying to figure out a system that can be used to indicate if a wiki command page is complete.
There are several components to these pages:

  • GUIcommand Template
  • DocNavi Template
  • Screenshot
  • Sections
  • Description
    • How To Use
    • Limitations/Known Issues
    • Scripting
  • Translations
  • Categories

My idea is to somehow use emojis to indicate what is complete and/or incomplete.

Edit: Github AKA Markdown maybe a better way to do this

Use the wiki system itself.

We’ll have to physically visit each page, paste missing section titles/templates. Within each empty section place a single link to a predetermined empty dummy page. Then, use wiki tools to find how many pages link to the dummy page; this would provide some sort of internal feedback, so long as contributors delete the link to the dummy page when they fill a section.

Just an idea.
This idea does have some flaws.

I know you are a friend of emojis, while I have the feeling that they don’t really make FreeCAD any better. All this organizing does not get the work done.
But I fully agree that we users should go for a big run on documentation improving before 0.19 gets stable.

6

Emojis tracking the progress of completion of a Wiki FreeCAD command page is not useful?
It’s an immediate visual queue showing if work needs to be done on said file. Which can be both informative and timesaving.

7

There are several Path commands that don’t have dedicated icons. Can anyone confirm this?

8

Yes, e.g. the dressups

9

Not to mention, they are also colorful and emotionally stimulating. In a world of boolean if statements, this goes a long way.

Related to this, the “Depths and Heights” picture used in several Path wiki pages has a typo for an unfortunately important phrase.

“Save Height” should be “Safe Height”

@chrisb seems to be the author. Hopefully it’s an easy fix? :slight_smile:

11

No, I’m not the author, it’s herbk. We just had a discussion about this image and some meanings in the german forum. I remember, that this Safe vs. Save was mentioned before and I thought it was fixed together with some other small issues.

12

Interesting. Maybe the picture was fixed, and forgotten to be uploaded or something?

13

This is the topic: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=40764. Can the image be safely replaced in the wiki? It is used in two places: in Path Workbench, and in Path Pocket Shape.

14

Looking through the corrections in that thread, they all seem reasonable. :slight_smile:

The image is definitely used in more than 2 places. I found something like 10 when doing an initial search, and the page itself says there are 31 links to it. :wink:

15

I forgot all the different languages. I have replaced the image and it worked for the different places.

However, I had problems finding it, searching for the filename did not work. I was only able to find it by author. How did you find it?

(I remember having this problem quite some time ago, but I cannot find the post.)

16

When I look here, there’s a “File Usage” section towards the bottom of the page:

https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/File:Path-DepthsAndHeights.gif

Is that not showing for you?

17

Ahhh, you’re asking about my initial search.

For that - prior to writing my first comment here - I was searching on something like “Safe Height”, which had ~70 results. Went through them, noticing which ones had this pic. Thus my estimate of around 10. :slight_smile:

18

No I wanted to replace the file and used https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Special:ListFiles. I find files searching for “Path” or for “ath-” but not for “Path-”.

19

Here is my old post: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=26467 . It remains strange.

20

Interesting. Yeah, that is weird. :frowning:
