Changelog

December 10th, 2023

Got some reports of email confirmations not working correctly. Indeed, because of setup of Ghost + Mailgun for DWebYVR Writing, that involved likely messing up email for the wiki. This should now be correct, and all running through Mailgun (via Cloudron).

December 4th, 2023

Enabled subpages for the main namespaces following the manual:

# Enable subpages in the main namespace
$wgNamespacesWithSubpages[NS_MAIN] = true;

Which means that we can create sub pages like this VanRuby/Request For Meetup Venue

TODO: see about other styling that lists subpages?

December 3rd, 2023

Enabled the CategoryTree extension.

Use this code to get a list of pages in a Category Name: <categorytree mode="pages" hideroot="on">Category Name</categorytree>

The source for the original website is in Github https://github.com/dwebyvr/notes

Implemented by Jacky Zhao on February 11th, 2023.

This is a Hugo powered website, built using Quartz and designed to be managed with Obsidian.

From the features of that template, wikilinks -- double square brackets around words -- can be used to easily link between notes, and show backlnks -- which notes link to each other -- in the sidebar.

This site is built and hosted using Github. For every commit, a Github Action runs and builds the HTML version of the site, and then publishes to Github Pages.

The dwebyvr.org domain is hosted on Google Domains.
