Wikipedia doesn't organize things in hierarchies either. Instead, we should title all pages in ways that allow the "Search" feature to work properly, like this: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=bluetooth&go=Go Notice how your page comes up, because you named it properly. *That's* how the wiki should work, not by arbitrary hierarchies. How-to articles can also be categorized so users can see a line up of pages like this: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Draft_Documentation ...which the wiki does *automatically*. > I hope others join and help out with editing this page because I can't > make mediawiki do what I want :( > > I have an issue with my draft > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Valent/Fedora_Bluetooth_GPS_How_To > > Especially the this part: > > rfcomm0 { > # Automatically bind the device at startup > bind yes; > > # Bluetooth address of the device > device 00:12:EE:55:00:FF; > > # RFCOMM channel for the connection > channel 1; > > # Description of the connection > comment "GPS Bluetooth dongle"; > } > > > Mediawiki display is completely different, and if I put nowiki tag > then it is all in one line :( You just need to read the following page, and look at other well-done pages' source and copy as needed. Which is the same advice we give to anyone who wants to edit the wiki: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Help:Editing and especially: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Help:Editing#Marking_Technical_Terms -- Paul W.
