But keep in mind — formulating a post tends to frame our thinking along certain lines, which is halfway toward making a decision. I'd suggest outlining the pros and cons of different approaches. That way, if community members lean one way or another, they can address the challenges they're up against.

Why not here? http://community.wikidot.com/bugs

Good question, but though it looks obvious, there are several problems for me, to depend on that.

Rather than discuss that here, let me make a blog posting.

I'm aiming to make a new issue tracker (bugs.wikidot.com)

I'm aiming to make a new issue tracker (bugs.wikidot.com) where we can actually do this properly, since now our dev process is working well enough that we can throw issues at it.

It's also good to know that the devs aren't tracking the majority of old reports. I'll try to dredge some up every now and then.

It's not been possible to hunt these all down, and anyhow, loading up the issue tracker with every known issue (from the pro and community lists) just burns out the devs. We work best when we address issues that people are actively discussing.

In the last six months or so we've closed about 250 issues (and there are 150 open in our tracker). We're now getting pretty good at fixing problems within a week or two of a new report.

So this particular issue popped onto my radar on 13 November and I logged it, and we pushed the fix live the same day.

(It's nice to know these things get addressed eventually. But what am I, chopped liver?)

One challenge though: it assumes the admin will always control their domain. What happens if the domain expires? I've had friends who have let that happen, someone else swoops in to buy it (hijack it), and they're forced to either submit to extortion or just abandon the domain.

If everything is forwarded, then the only way to manage the site is via the private domain. And if the private domain goes, so goes the wiki's admin control. Is there a simple way to forward all categories except admin?

It can't be a common problem, and I suppose it's also possible to contact the Wikidot team and ask for some administrative help. But you might want to spell that out.

  • admin:manage

    • third link down

    • custom domain

    tick box just under the
    custom domain input box
    and above the
    301 redirect input box

    Custom domain is a pro feature., so will not appear to free plan admins.
    unless (as i understand it) you had custom domain set up BEFORE the pro plans came out

  • Sites that use custom domains can now use the custom domain as the only url for the site, which means every request to your-site.wikidot.com will be forwarded to an external domain. See the option in Site Manager > Custom domain.
