Title: Just a fast question about editing the wiki...
Post by: starman3000 on September 24, 2010, 10:58:38 PM

Is there a way to keep my sandbox page from being listed in the search box?

It's not critical or time-sensitive or anything. I was just wondering.

Thanks.

By default, anything in the User namespace isn't typically displayed in search results.  The only way to search for something in the User namespace (without already know the name of the page you're looking for) is to do an Advanced Search and select the User namespace under "Search in Namespaces".

So, if you place your sandbox at User:Starman3000/Sandbox, it won't usually show in search results.

Also:  I would have thought that we'd be able to use math formulas, but maybe something isn't enabled on the backend.

I believe it requires special configuration, and may rely on additional things being installed on the back-end that we may or may not have.

Is there a need for it? If so, I can take a look into it.

No, no need for the math formulas. I was experimenting more than anything else.

Thank you for the information.
