To add a WikiPage to an applicable list, simply add the necessary category tags (including the brackets) to the bottom of a WikiPage (be sure the page also includes the [[Category:PortlandTech]] tag as well). Currently, PortlandTech sub-categories are:
- [[Category:Company]]
- [[Category:Software]]
- [[Category:Venture Capital]]
- [[Category:Law Firm]]
- [[Category:Other Company]]
- [[Category:Media]]
- [[Category:Blog]]
- [[Category:Wiki]]
- [[Category:Forum]]
- [[Category:Newspaper]]
- [[Category:Website Only]]
- [[Category:Other Media]]
- [[Category:Groups]]
- [[Category:User Group]]
- [[Category:Community]]
- [[Category:Organization]]
- [[Category:Other Group]]
- [[Category:People]]
- [[Category:Consultant]]
- [[Category:Lawyer]]
- [[Category:CEO]]
- [[Category:CFO]]
- [[Category:Other Management]]
Naturally, where appropriate, please tag PortlandTech pages with multiple categories to make sure the WikiPage is on all appropriate lists. (For example: [[Category:PortlandTech]] [[Category:Blog]] [[Category:User Group]] will place a blog that serves as a user group's website on both the "Blog" and "User Group" page listings.)
How this works
For the purposes of most the PortlandTech lists, the behind-the-scenes coding has been done. If you'd like to add "intersects" for other lists, the syntax is simple:
This then generates a list of pages that have both categories on them.
Caveats
The "intersect" tool is in it's infancy. Sometimes it takes awhile for WikiPages to show up on the list after the category tags have been places on them. Please be patient, you can also try clearing your browser's cache.
There are also some known bugs in the intersect tool and changes in how the list is formatted are still being tweaked. If you have problems with using the "intersect tool" be sure to place a note in the ErrorLog and let us know the pages and intersections you were trying to make.
