“dummy” RecentChanges in the main wikis

MattisManzel:

I did something weird: I created “dummy” RecentChanges in the main wikis.

• DikiWiki:RecentChanges


• EArtWiki:RecentChanges


• KaboWiki:RecentChanges


• ObmWiki:RecentChanges


• OddWiki:RecentChanges

A page RecentChanges exists in all wikis sitting in the wiki-hives, RecentChanges for example. But in the main wikis of the wiki-hives the page has different names:

• DikiWikiAllRecentChanges


• EArtWikiAllRecentChanges


• KaboWikiAllRecentChanges


• ObmWikiAllRecentChanges


• OddWikiAllRecentChanges

In the main wikis there is a local name recent changes defined. It points to the address showing the recent changes to the main wiki exclusively, for example odd-wiki-hive - recent changes (= http://oddwiki.org/odd?action=rc;local=1). Redirecting to this page from RecentChanges would be silly and doesn’t work.

When recently making the sister site icons at the bottom of pages work I realized that the icons link to pages RecentChanges in the main wikis which didn’t exist. Therefore I made the “dummy” pages and therefore only.

This does not yet feel quite right to me, I’m only testing. Probably the main wikis rather need a page called AllRecentChanges (similar for all wiki hives, no hive name in it) and I also need to change RecentChanges to AllRecentChanges somewhere else (like in the config or so, not sure).
