Wiki dead links

If all goes well I should be able to give you a login account tomorrow.

It would help if you guys could liaise between yourselves somehow (or just use this thread) and say who is going to do what page fixes so we don't all end up trying to fix the same stuff...

Unfortunately I have not yet figured out how to alter the links on the main page yet.. It seems quite baffling but I should that figured out tomorrow hopefully sometime.

The test server will be down tonight while I do some backups and upgrade the wiki version etc.

Sounds good! I propose making a quick edit saying "editing" on top of a page we're currently working on so others know not to touch it. It will cause an extra revision in the history of the page but I don't think that's an issue.

Good idea!

I guess ultimately I can clear up all the old revisions of stuff anyway.

Is the edit announcement even needed? I mean, it's a wiki, its primary purpose is being edited by thousands of people at once, i.e. locking content must have been its feature since day one.

Made a start and done a simple one the DadHacker page. I've linked it to wayack as the source links, but copied the content over. Took me ages to figure out how to edit links on the homepage!

Anyone know how to extract pages from a PDF ?

I used ghostscript once to do this

I just open them in Word these days though

Edit:

I'll see if I can do it now

Edit:

It's permissioned so I couldn't open it in word. I couldn't even print it to a file

Ghostscript did the trick

More I look at the wiki the more confused I get. There seems to be multiple pages of like hardware mods. Some pages have different things and then others have the same thing.

I've also somehow ended up with hardware mods in the peripheral section and trying to remember how I edited the thing because it seems totally unobvious. It looks like others in the past of got confused over these sections as well.

For example on temlib.

Half the stuff isn't a peripheral. But I am yet to find out how to edit pages. But they also appear in other sections like https://temlib.org/AtariForumWiki/index ... celerators
