Note that there are cross links between Vendor- and Module- pages. These prefixes are used to generate the lists of vendors and modules automatically. Another way to do this might be to use categories Vendor and Module. So far I cant see a way to include category list on another page see: http://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix_Talk:Main Here are the standalone category pages. These lists would be better without the prefix... http://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Category:Module http://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Category:Vendor I'd like to hear from the architect of this part of the wiki (Jaroslav) before embarking on wholesale rename of pages. > Also, two of the modules that don't have pages were written by myself. > I'd be glad to make the pages for those modules but I don't really know > what should go on those pages TBH.

This page says what should be on a Vendor- and Module- page: http://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Description The repeated information is generated using a template. One possibility is to replace the template contents generic instructions with a link to a single page with generic instructions. The template does give the specific module name in the instructions. For the module that I work on, I have put specific information at the top of the page E.g. http://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-asihpi I suggest you do something similar E.g. Driver for cards from [[Matrix:Vendor-]] {| align="right" | __TOC__ |} ==Driver Specific Information== === Additional Installation notes=== .... {{Template:Modinfo etc regards Eliot _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
