TUG wiki:FAQ

I created a new page: why isn't it showing up on any auto-updating pages?
This has happened with my new tool pages, new workspace pages, new block pages, and so on: new items don't show up in a list/table/gallery that should display them.
 * Auto-updating lists, tables, and galleries are generated with a Semantic MediaWiki (SMW) query/search for appropriate pages. Depending on how busy the wiki is, it can take a while for the software to catch up to the changes, and update related pages.


 * First, wait a while to give the wiki a chance to update. Then use the browser's reload button to see whether the list has updated.


 * If the list/table/gallery hasn't updated in an hour or three, go to the page you created. In the upper right, click the little arrow menu between "View History" and the search box. Choose the "Refresh" option: it tells the wiki to make updates from that page a higher priority in the queue.


 * If the new page doesn't show up in lists/tables/galleries after 24 hours or so, there is probably a problem with the special markup on that new page.

It's been a day since I created a new page: why won't it show up in an auto-updating gallery?
This has happened with new block pages, new workspace pages, crafted items, and so on.
 * Are you looking at a gallery style auto-updating list? For example:
 * Galleries won't show items that don't have an appropriate picture. So if you create a new block page, but don't upload a terrain image, it won't show up in an auto-updating gallery. It will show up in lists and tables, though.
 * Galleries won't show items that don't have an appropriate picture. So if you create a new block page, but don't upload a terrain image, it won't show up in an auto-updating gallery. It will show up in lists and tables, though.


 * If you don't want to upload every missing image for a new page, you can check the markup on the gallery page to see which image it's looking for. (Different galleries look for different images.) For example, the query on the Blocks page wants to display the property:


 *  


 * Uploading that terrain image to the wiki will get the page to eventually show up in the gallery. If you're not sure what should be in each type of image, look at the descriptions on the Image Policy page.
