This is a feature to allow wiki pages to be staged before they are approved. This is useful, for example, to have a staging area where open contributions are welcome, but at the same time to have an official knowledge base that is extremely stable, hence needing some kind of approval before page changes are shown there.
For more information about configuring this feature, see Wiki Page Staging and Approval
This section can be used to enable/disable specific Wiki features.
The Sandbox page allows users to practice their Wiki page editing skills. The Sandbox is a special page where everybody has write permission and no history is saved.
If enabled, when members of the Anonymous group edit pages (with permission), they must enter a CAPTCHA code before saving the page. This will reduce the amount of spam in your wiki pages.
If enabled, the Last changes option will be available from the Wiki menu. Users (with permission) will be able to list the last (most recent) changes to the Wiki.
If enabled, dumps can be created and saved.
If enabled, users can {ALINK(aname=Export_Wiki_Pages}export{ALINK} individual pages and structure pages content as a file (requires tiki_p_admin_wiki permission).
This allows you to add a poll from polls feature to any wiki page. The poll is unique to the page, created from a "poll template" which is created in the Polls feature: set a poll's 'active' drop-down to "template". You may have to adjust your groups permissions for tiki_p_wiki_view_ratings and tiki_p_wiki_vote_ratings.
If enabled, users (with permission) can see the history of each Wiki page.
If enabled users (with permission) can see the Wiki syntax of the Wiki page.
If enabled users (with permission) can see the list of Wiki pages--like a directory of Wiki pages. Use the Wiki Page List Configuration area to select the specific information to display.
Allows users to view a list of pages, called backlinks, that link to the current page.
If enabled, users can see a listing of pages named similarly to the current page.
Note: Prior to release 1.9.11, this option was called Like Pages.
If enabled, users can see several charts or rankings about the Wiki.
If enabled a section is provided where a user can select several Wiki pages and then view them in a printer-friendly version. This can be used to print multiple pages.
If enabled Wiki pages can be converted to PDF format for printing, archiving, or other purposes. There are known bugs in the PDF generation.
This option was removed in Tiki 2.0
If enabled, Wiki pages can have comments. This feature overlaps the Wiki Discussion__ feature, you can read the note about Wiki pages comments/discussion at the bottom of this page.
See Page Comments for more information.
If enabled, users editing a Wiki page can select a template for the page. A template is a pre-defined content for a Wiki page. See Content Templates to learn how to create templates for wiki pages.
If enabled users can quickly add images (pictures) to a Wiki page by simply uploading the picture when editing a page. The picture will be stored in img/wiki_up using the name of the picture as an ID.
Use the Remove Unused Pictures to remove any pictures that have been uploaded but are no longer used in a wiki page.
If enabled then Wiki pages can be cached, so the page is remembered after being generated and the Tiki engine will not have to parse the page content to display it. After the indicated time passes or if the page is changed, the cache is invalidated. In versions >= 2.1, the cache is only used for anonymous visitors, so user permissions do not affect the cache.
If enabled then cache times can be set for each individual page, overriding the global cache time setting.
If enabled and if the user's notepad feature is enabled and if the user is logged a save icon will be shown when viewing a page, letting the user save the page to his or her personal notepad.
If enabled then users with permission to lock pages can lock pages and only the user who locked a page or admin can unlock it.
If enabled then words using the Wiki naming convention of Smashed words will automatically become links. WikiWords start with capital letters and include capitals in the middle of the word (example: ThisIsAWikiWord).
Note: In Tiki 1.9, this option was enabled, by default, for new installations. Starting with 2.0, this option is no longer enabled, by default, for new installations.
If enabled, Tikiwiki will allow WikiWords to include dashes and underscores.
You must enable the Use WikiWords option to use this feature.
If enabled, Tikiwiki will automatically link (combine) singluar and pluarl WikiWords. For example, the WikiWords MyWord and MyWords will link to the same wiki page: MyWord.
You must enable the Use WikiWords option to use this feature.
If enabled, each user will have a personal wiki page which only (s)he can edit. The prefix is configurable.
If enabled then users who create a page are also in control of that page. They have administrators rights over it.
This selects which Wiki syntax to use for cretaing rows within tables. Select either: || or \n (line break).
|

If this is enabled, adjacent lines of text will be formatted as paragraphs. Paragraphs are separated by blank lines or Wiki commands.
If enabled (and if the Use Wiki paragraph formatting option is enabled), Tikiwiki will use the paragraph formatting options, but paragraphs will remain within the same element, but will contain spacing.
If this is enabled, the Tiki code lines starting with at least one space are interpreted and rendered with monospaced font. Generally if you have occasional users this can get them puzzled and wondering what's happening.
As an alternative, you can use the monospace wiki syntax (-+monospace+-) to create monospaced font.
If enabled users can generate slideshows from structures.
If enabled, a Make Structure button will be added to Wiki pages. Using this button will create a new structure with the current Wiki page automatically added as the "head" of the structure. See Structure Admin for more information.
This feature was added in Tiki 2.0.
Allows categories to be applied to structures on creation.
This feature was added in Tiki 2.0.
If enabled, the Structure Admin page will include a new option for generating WebHelp (an self-contained, HTML "help" version of the Wiki structure). Use this option to distribute Wiki pages to offline users in a usable format.
If enabled, Tikiwiki will automatically add the external link icon to all external links (created with the [link] wiki syntax).
By default, Tikiwiki uses img/icons/external_link.gif (
) as the icon.
Enter a unique prefix to add to each wiki page to idenfity all User Pages.
You must enable the User's Page option to use this feature.
-> Note: as of Tiki 6.1 (and maybe others) the prefix cannot be blank and you must include a : (colon) as the last character, or all users lose the ability to create or edit pages.
Allows page creators to assign permissions or remove pages they create.
Masks all email addresses in a "mailto:" link.
Specifically designed to reduce parallel pages will redirect someone trying to create "trains" to "train".
When activated this feature shows a small printer icon which when clicked allows a viewer to print just the content of a wiki page (without header info and sidebar tools, etc.)
Admin:
Choose where the page break icons are displayed when page break syntax is used:
This panel is to control the deletion of old versions of Wiki pages.
Maximum number of versions for historydetermines how many versions of a Wiki page will be kept before older versions are deleted. This affects the level of undo that is possible, but also how much of the page's evolution you can see. This can be useful in a highly collaborative environment where it seems that some elements don't make sense anymore.
Never delete versions younger than days can be used as a basic way to avoid vandals or to make sure that editors can review all the changes done to a page if many edits were done in a short time.
You can use or not the Copyright to specify a content license under which all Wiki pages are published when submitted. License Page indicates the Wiki page containing the default license of your Wiki. It won't be created automatically. Submit Notice is seen when editing a Wiki page to indicate what content is suitable considering the license.

The two first options automatize the monitoring of Wiki pages. Create watch for author on page creation automatically makes a page creator monitor the page he created. Enable watches on comments notifies monitorers of new comments, as for a new edit. Used less often, Enable watch events when I am the editor cancels the normal behavior which assumes that editors do not want to be notified themselves when they modify a page they are monitoring.

Landing page used for wiki when no page is specified. The page will be created if it does not exist.
If enabled a description can be entered when editing a page and descriptions will be displayed below the page name when viewing a page.
Display the page name at the top of each page as page title. If not enabled, the page content should be structured to contain a header. If disabled no title will be displayed (and it will be hard to know what page you are editing!).
If enabled, the page's unique numeric ID will be displayed when viewing the page.
Display the page version information when viewing the page. As of Tiki 5.0, this information is only displayed when the List authors preference is enabled.
Changes the list format used to display the authors of the page. Listing options include last modification date/time and page version (if the Page version preference is enabled).
For use with the !!- or !!+ syntax. Checking will display the showhide switch at the left of the heading, otherwise it displays below.
This control can be used to control recognition of Wiki links using the two parenthesis Wiki link syntax ((page name)).
Note that this only affects the Wiki syntax ((page name)). It does not affect recognition of the Wiki naming convention of Smashed words starting with capital letters (example: ThisIsSomePage).
If enabled the spellchecker can be used for Wiki pages. See Spellcheck for details on installing the language library (a separate download).
If enabled then when a user is editing a page the edit button will be colored red and the name of the user editing the page will be displayed as a tooltip. If the user saves or cancels his or her edit or if the indicated amount of time passes the edit button will be displayed normally. This feature is useful to prevent collisions when editing pages.
Select the amount of time (in minutes) after which a user's edit session will expire. If the user does not save or preview their work, it will be lost. Tikiwiki will display a "countdown time" in the user's browser and display an alert when only a minute remains.
If enabled, the user who last edited a page can undo his or her edit.
This option was introduced in Tiki 2.0
If enabled logged users can write personal footnotes when editing a page. The footnotes will be displayed only to the user who edited them immediately below the Wiki page. This can be used as a good way to let users make personal notes and observations about pages.
Users with the right permission (tiki_p_minor) can save a Wiki page change as a minor edit. Minor edits do not generate notifications for users who are monitoring the page.
In Tiki 2.0, use the Watch Minor option in the {ALINK(aname=Wiki_Watch)} area to allow notification to be generated for minor edits.
Specify if all wiki pages must be categoried. This will require the use to select a category for the wiki page before saving. Seelct from the following options:
You must enable the Category feature and create at least one category to use this option.
This feature was added in Tiki 2.0.
