Wiki - is category list different when log in?

Post by sfws »

As reported on https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=10463 I inserted a new wiki page for extra sensors http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Extra_Sensor_Files. I can read that new page even if I do not log into the wiki.

My new page appears in http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Category:Log_Files if I am logged into the Wiki, but not on that category page if I am not logged in. Is this due to something I have done wrong, or if there something an administrator needs to correct? There may be other new pages that I created that only appear in their category when I am logged in, due to same issue, but most of the changes I have made have updated existing pages to reflect the latest version of Cumulus and for those they already appeared on their category page whether I am logged in or not.

Incidentally, before I settled on that new 'general' extra sensor file' page I inadvertently created http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Extra_temperatures thinking of a different approach specific to each type of sensor, that can be deleted by an administrator, unless someone else sees a need for it.

I'm afraid I know nothing about MediaWiki. If it's something that an admin needs to correct, I don't know what it would be. I've searched the MediaWiki help but drawn a blank.

I edited the category page (just added a space) and it seems to be OK now.

Sorry to be a nuisance, but I just noticed ':Category:WebTips' is same, 9 pages listed when logged in, but only 6 pages listed when not logged in.
Also 'Category:Terminology' 14 when logged in, 13 when not logged in. At least 2 of the 13 are new pages I inserted, so I don't understand why they worked but not the 14th. As far as I can tell this is the end of the problem.

Unrelated I note 'Cumulus_Screenshots' page (that I started to update) is linked from 4 separate pages, would you think it should be linked from the main page too or are too many pages on main page already? I have no care either way, but I supoose it depends what suits a new Cumulus user best.

I just did a dummy edit on the other one, did it not let you do that? I've done the same for these.

I'm not sure it matters, I suspect most people visiting the wiki already know what it looks like. I should really update the screenshots on my Wordpress site, though :oops:
