Help:Wiki

Create a wiki page.

Our wiki is collaboratively edited by the users. It is meant as a platform to collect information about our community, the Python programming language in general and useful information. It consists of categorized pages, loosely linked together.

Location

Directory	Description
content/<Language>/wiki/	The base directory of the wiki

Create a New Wiki Page

To create a new page, use the command npm run create -- 'wiki/<pageName>.md'. After that you can edit your newly created page, which is located in content/en/wiki/<pageName>.md.

Example

Create a new page foo:

$ npm run create -- 'wiki/foo.md'

> [email protected] create
> exec-bin node_modules/.bin/hugo/hugo new "wiki/foo.md"

Content "/home/username/path_to_repository/repository_root_directory/content/en/wiki/foo.md" created

Front Matter

Every Markdown file contains a header section, called front matter, in the YAML format to configure parts of the page or website. A wiki page needs the following variables in the front matter.

Variable	Type	Description
`title`	`str`	The title of the page or ressource
`url`	`str`	The URL the page will be reachable.
`description`	`str`	The page description, normally for SEO
`lead`	`str`	The page description shown after the title or in cards
`date`	`datetime`	The datetime the page was created
`lastmod`	`datetime`	The datetime the page was modified. Should be the same as `date` when the creating a new page
`draft`	`bool`	`flase` shows the page, `true` hides the page, as it does not exist
`weight`	`int`	The weight, or priority of the page for page sorting
`images`	`list` of `str`	Images, which will be converted and moved to the static directory. Remember to add every image you used here
`contributors`	`list` of `str`	A list of contributors

You will find a complete list and how to use them inside the site in the Hugo docs →

The Datetime Type

The date and time according to ISO 8601 . The following table shows the extended format specified in ISO 8601 we use for our website to specify, when e.g. a page was created or edited. It has three parts:

the date
the time, including it's designator T
the timezone offset

We would prefere if you would use your local time together with the timezone offset (in this case it is mandatory), but you can also enter the time in UTC without the timezone offset.

Value	Optional	Description
`2021`	No	Year
`07`	No	Month
`08`	No	Day of the month
`T`	No	`T` is a designator, which indicates the start of the time representation
`12`	No	Hour
`34`	No	Minute
`56`	No	Second
`+` or `-`	Yes	`+` for a positive or `-` a negative timezone offset
`01`	Yes	Timezone offset in hours
`02`	Yes	Timezone offset in minutes

Formatting Examples

The following example uses the values from the table to show the format. It does not use the actual UTC. If you are not using the timezone offset, you must calculate UTC yourself.

Example with timezone offset: 2021-07-08T12:34:56+01:02
Example without timezone offset: 2021-07-08T12:34:56

Header Example

Remember, the front matter is a YAML structure embedded into the Markdown file. The --- delimiters signal Hugo that this is a front matter in the YAML format. Here is a generated example, how the front matter might look like:


---
title: "MyTitle"
url: "/wiki/MyTitle"
description: "A description of the page content"
lead: "A lead to the page content"
date: 2021-10-08T14:48:42+01:00
lastmod: 2021-10-08T14:48:42+01:00
draft: false
weight: 50
images: ["avatar.svg" "foo.svg" "bar.svg"]
contributors: ["UserA" "UserB" "UserC"]# This is an example for a comment in YAML
---

Notice, the weight in wiki pages is always 50.
