1. Learn how to call the name of the page that I am on.
   Think I got that, Rozzychan/darnwell.
2. Learn to call the name of the previous page if the pages are in sequence such as Metabolism 1 and metabolism 2.
   Not sure about that. Need to look up the + and _ features.
3. Need a way to define next and previous of the named EASY pages without having to type it into each page. I want a template or something to tell the page which is next and which is previous.
4. Make a cover page

2024 Problems

I've found some problems in the navigation of my wikibook. As I add new pages, they are not automatically put into a list, so it becomes a burden to make a page and locate it in sequence.

If I number pages, or make a chain of links, then adding a page between them will be a problem. If I make a set number of pages, then some of the pages will remain empty. Need to automatically generate a list of all pages.

Templates

Ran out of time trying to read all of these templates. This is the one that I stopped on" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Template_namespace also http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Variable

It seemed to be the easiest to understand so far. It had simple information that was omitted from other template helps.

Other template pages are: Help:Template http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Template Which is more up to date.

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Advanced_templates

I still don't understand what {{{1}}} means.

Current thinking is that the thing of value to me is to make variable parameter names, I think.

"Adding a template to a page

To add a template to the page, simply type the name of the template with two braces on each side. For example, to add Template:Wikify to a page, type xxremovedxx.

If a template takes a number of parameters, it is suggested that the template be formatted as the following:

Putting each parameter on a separate line and aligning them by the equals sign make it easier to read the wikicode.

parser codes

found a list of parser codes like PAGENAME here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Variable

I am also looking at parser functions such as #titleparts on this page: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:ParserFunctions

Found

Rozzychan/darnwell writes the title of this page.
User writes the title of the top level in this book.

Ordering

If we could make a special template which contains a datastructure , then by editing the datastructure we could order the named pages and then call them next and previous.

Make a list with the names of the pages in order.
Have a template that generates the table of contents from this list.
Then have a template that generates next and previous links based on this master template.

I can also have extra pages in the book that are skipped over.

This template could also define which ones were were in the printable version and might even be able to generate such a thing.

The advantage is that if I feel that I am handling the sequence wrong then I can simply change the sequence.

For example, I wanted to have a version that showed only the pages marked easy.
This would skip all of the intermediate and advanced pages and put the other ones in order. I know that you can't use arrow buttons like in HTML, but we could use next and previous buttons and >.

new thought

I can define in a page which pages are intermediate and hard and call them within that page with a template that defines their format.

But this takes as much work as adding the links...hmmm.

I will make a new subpage called pagelist Here I will list links to the pages in the book. Each page will be assigned a unique number. It would be nice if I could generate it, but instead I will make them by hand. Then I will have on each page and equation that will add one number to the page.

Different versions would be a problem. Perhaps I could define the template on the introductory page and make a frame that lists certain pages in it. No, frames won't work here.

Categories

I got an idea.

Maybe I can make a category for my book. Then get the template to read the Category as if it is the list. A category is automatically generated.

But categories are alphabetical, so although it may make a fine index, it won't make a good page order generator.

I can however make a category for the easy pages.

Navigation Wiki pages

DarkLama gave me a link to a page on navagation.

It gave me a new idea.

Make a unary numbering system. Number each line.

Perhaps this could be done by a template where each page was called once.

It would write the numbers in permanently, but when I added new pages I'd do it again ...wait would that work. I'm not sure it would.

Updated text

I just found that the wikipedia template help pages are much more up to date than the wikibook help pages. Wikipedia had version 1.6 and wikibooks had 1.4.

Even so, I keep getting false leads, and I find it very difficult to find what I am looking for. I just sifted through a long discussion of transcluding cricket games vs startrek episodes and I am no closer to finding the answer.

Template heading subheading subheading1 |subheading2 Template:Summary in Template:Pagenumber1

Previous < Up > Next : Index

I want to catagorize the pages by difficulty. EASY = green Intermediate = Light orange Advanced = Purple

There should be dots on the index and bars on the page. If only I knew how to do that.

EASY

INTERMEDIATE

ADVANCED
