Building a wiki

This was fairly complicated. One reason: I don't want this whole site to be a wiki.

First off, several new modules had do be installed, enabled and configure. I the Wiki chapter in the O'Reilly book as a guide. Modules: Freelinking, Markdown, Diff, Pathauto and Token. Together, these provide: Easy text formatting and easy linking. Human readable URLs. Change tracking and change listing.

Since I wasn't using the "story" content type, I repurposed that as a "wiki" content type. Story type can be "wiki", which will appear in the URL, and will be useful for building menus and making the menu appear on a group of pages automatically (via wildcard). I special "wiki" input format was created, that allows for easy formatting and links. Also, "freelinking" was set so that a link to a non-existing page will take the user directly to a content creation page. Reminders of pages that need to be created appear in a menu.

Pathauto automatically creates pretty decent URLs, cleaning up punctuation and leaving out small words. Revision tracking allows for rolling back to earlier versions, and also provides side-by-side version comparison.

Finally (to do): VIEWS can be used to create "new pages" and "recent edits" lists, filtered so that only wiki articles appear.

Note: Wiki menu in left column is set to appear on this page (which is not a wiki page), and on all pages with "wiki/" in the URL.
