List areas of the Biki that are in need of attention.
Alternative Syntaxes for dialog commands
A lot of dialog commands (e.g. ctrlSetText vs. ctrlSetText control, and lbDelete vs. lbDelete index) have separate pages for alternative syntaxes (which is probably a carry-over from the time the command template only allowed one syntax).
Could somebody merge these, so that there is only one article per command?
If you are unable to delete the obsolete version of the page, please replace the content with the {{Delete|merged variations}} flag, and a sysop will later to the "cleanup work".

Overloaded commands - same purpose
(Overloaded commands - same command name (and purpose) with different arguments)
Recommendation: Combined page with various syntaxes, either: compressed like isNull (if suitable), or separate syntaxes like camSetTarget.
* call body * call code
* execVM * execVM filename
* for do * for forspec * for var
* hintC * hintC array * hintC structuredText * hintC text
* leaveVehicle * leaveVehicle group * leaveVehicle unit
* nearestObject * nearestObject id * nearestObject type
* say * say string
* side * side location
* skill * skill vehicle
* text * text location
* ctrlSetFontP height * ctrlSetFontP name
* ctrl* - all other control/index variations
* lb* - all other control/index variations
* slider* - all other control/index variations
Overloaded commands - different purposes
(Overloaded commands - same command name (but for different purposes/category))
Recommendation: Common redirect page using base name with links to each variation (like for, in, (private))
* createUnit * createUnit array
* createVehicle * createVehicle array
* count * count array * count config
* direction * direction location
* name * name location * config/name (odd name)
* position * position location
Scripting Commands, Case-Sensitivity, and Redirects
Notice that setPos is an article, but setpos is not. If I simply type "setpos" into the search, I see a search results page rather than setPos. The same applies to almost all other scripting commands. This is a little annoying.
Normally, the BIKI software doesn't seem to care what you capitalize when typing into the search. "Bohemia Interactive," "bohemia interactive," and "BOHEmia IntERacTIve" all lead to the same page. However, it's as though the upper-case P in the middle of "setPos" confuses the wiki.
Is there a way we can fix this problem without creating hundreds of redirects? RKurtzDmitriyev 23:44, 14 February 2011 (CET)
- I assume there are settings for case-sensitivity but these can only be changed by Wiki-Admin afaik. If really there really is a need we could create the redirects via bot but not sure if this is the optimal solution.
