Hi Patrick, Go to the index page of the wiki (Main.AllDocs) and select the "deleted pages" or "deleted attchments" tab. If these tabs don't appear, I suppose you must have admin rights to see them. On 10/01/2014 22:27, Patrick Masson wrote:

Thanks Patrick! Very nice initiative :) I’ve made some small modifications: * First I’ve renamed the page so that the page name isn’t too long and I’ve removed the ending question mark since a question mark is automatically added to the title when the FAQ entry is rendered * I’ve linked to the Index Application which is where the documentation is located.

Hi, Vincent, I modified your doucument also. Due to the bug http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-9065 one might not see any deleted attachments. Понедельник, 13 января 2014, 19:02 +01:00 от "[email protected]" <[email protected]>:

Hi Patrick,

I see you’ve restored your content that I had moved to the Index Application’s documentation on: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/How+do+I+restore+a+deleted+page+or+a...

Do you really believe it’s better to have to maintain 2 places?

My POV was that it’s always easier to maintain a single place and have the FAQ entry point to the right documentation.

If you think the documentation isn’t good enough at http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Index+Application then I believe it might be better to edit that page and improve it, WDYT?

Vincent, I added a comment on the page with my thoughts (not sure of how the continue the discussion - in the users group or on the wiki page).

My rationale is in the comment:

...

I got your email and saw your edits, I am just thinking answering the question directly and pointing to the documentation would have been most helpful to me when I was looking.

Interesting before I sent the note to the user's list, I searched for "xwiki restore deleted document", "xwiki recycle bin" "xwiki trash" etc. and did not find the Index Application page. In addition, I also searched xwiki.org for "restore deleted page" and did not find anything.

I think the challenge for me as a newbie is that I do not know the nomenclature of xwiki yet. I do not know how I (or other newbies) would have known to look for the Index Application?

What do you think? Hope my merging of our efforts is OK?

However your point about maintaining two sets of documentation would be a pain and not a good idea.

Not sure I understood your point! :) Could you explain why it’s not a good idea to try to have to maintain documentation content in a single place? I understand that we need several ways to reach a documentation place and I agree with having a FAQ entry for this precise example for that reason. However, I really think we need to try to have all documentation about a given feature in a single location as much as possible.

Maybe I am just addressing the wrong problem. My issue was that I could not find the existing documentation. I restored your version and just added "on how to restore deleted pages/attachments.”

I’ve also edited a bit the documentation page at http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Index+Application It’s now linked from 2 places I know of: - http://main.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/How+do+I+restore+a+deleted+page+or+... - http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/DocumentLifecycle#HRestore (which is the first entry I get in google when I search for “xwiki restore deleted attachment”) Hope it’s now easier to get that information from the onset! :) Thanks for your help! -Vincent

Thanks, Patrick

Hmm reading my comment I see how poorly it was written--I was agreeing with you. Let me try again...

"However your point about maintaining two sets of documentation [is a good one, that I had not considered and it ] would be a pain [to maintain redundant FAQ content as the technical aspects (and thus possibly the user interface) of XWiki changed] and [thus my approach is] not a good idea.”

ahah, ok, all is good then :) [snip]

Always happy to be the "lowest common denominator."

Thanks for your help! Sorry to be a pest.

Not at all. Documentation is very important for a project and the fact that you couldn’t find what you were looking for immediately is a concern to me. Please report any other thing you cannot find easily and I’ll try to help to improve the documentation. Also, if you have suggestion to improve documentation navigation please let us know (or even participate as you did, this is most welcome!) Thanks -Vincent
