===== Layout =====

Generally speaking, the wiki is organized into a taxonomy that matches the main [[adi>|ADI site]] taxonomy. Products have catagories, and are seperated into various namespaces (see below). There are various things that don't have specific product catagories, which are a little looser in organization. Since it's easy to move things around after - don't worry too much about exactly where things go - try to think of where it makes the most sense, and put it there.

Some suggestions:
  * use **:namespace:namespace** as the main page for topics under that namespace rather than having the introductory page be **:namespace:main**. This will keep the proper sidebar on the page.
  * every namespace can have, or not have it's main sidebar. the sidebar for the root namespace is autogenerated, so don't change it (you will loose your changes).

Here are the current namespaces.
  * **:** [[:start|Root Namespace]] - Try not to put anything here, except the start page.
  * **:product catagory:** The wiki assumes a similar taxonomy as the main [[adi>|ADI site]] taxonomy. Not all name spaces will exist at the outside of the project, and will point back to the analog.com web page. For example:
    * **:analog-to-digital-converters:audio-ad-converters:** [[:analog-to-digital-converters:audio-ad-converters:audio-ad-converters]]
    * **:analog-to-digital-converters:broadband-codecs:** [[:analog-to-digital-converters:broadband-codecs:broadband-codecs]]
  * **:software:drivers:linux:adp5520**
  * **:wiki:** [[:wiki:wiki|Wiki Topics]]

These special pages exist in every namespace, and should not be used for other content.
  * ''review'' - will list the pages needed for review in the current namespace
  * ''sidebar'' - will be the content for the current namespace's sidebar

===== Naming conventions =====

For names of namespaces the same restrictions hold as for pagenames. 
  * page names in the wiki are converted to lowercase automatically. 
  * Allowed characters are letters, digits and, within names ((i.e. you cannot start or end names with them, resp. they will be eliminated at start or end of names)), the "special characters" ''.'', ''-'' and ''_''((effectively, only "." and "-" can be used since for "_" it will become unclear if the user or the system have put it, see next bullet)).
  * All other special characters (i.e. other than letters and digits) are converted to underscores
  * Colons ('':'') are used to identify or, if necessary, create namespaces.

===== Namespaces =====
A namespace is similar to a directory or folder, while pagenames are similar to files.

In the Wiki, we use namespaces to categorize the pages. 

A default DokuWiki installation comes with built-in namespace:

You don't need to create namespaces separately; simply create pages with colons in the pagename. The token after the last colon will be the name of the page itself, while all other tokens are namespaces. All namespaces used in your pagename that don't exist already will be created by DokuWiki automatically. 

^Examples:^^
|''example\\ .example\\ .:example''|refers to the page "''example''" in the **current** namespace.|
|'':example''|refers to the page "''example''" in the **root** namespace.|
|''..example\\ ..:example\\ .:..:example''|refers to the page "''example''" in the **parent** namespace|
|''wiki:example''|refers to the page "''example''" in the namespace "''wiki''". The namespace "''wiki''" is located **beneath the root** namespace.|
|''ns1:ns2:example\\ :ns1:ns2:example''|refers to the page "''example''" in the namespace ''ns2''. The namespace ''ns2'' is located beneath the namespace ''ns1''; the namespace ''ns1'' is located **beneath the root** namespace.|
|''.ns1:ns2:example\\ .:ns1:ns2:example''|refers to the page "''example''" in the namespace ''ns2''. The namespace ''ns2'' is located beneath the namespace ''ns1''; the namespace ''ns1'' is located **beneath the ''current''** namespace.|
|''..ns1:ns2:example\\ ..:ns1:ns2:example''|refers to the page "''example''" in the namespace ''ns2''. The namespace ''ns2'' is located beneath the namespace ''ns1''; the namespace ''ns1'' is located **beside the current** namespace (i.e. both ''ns1'' and the current namespace are beneath the same parent namespace, wherevera according to the root namespace this parent may be located itself).|
