# Legacy wiki import

All material under **`docs/wiki-import/`** is part of the **GitHub Wiki mirror**: it is meant to track the wiki that lives alongside the repository, while the rest of **`docs/`** holds **curated** pages (topics, mods, reference).

For a **map of the whole `docs/` tree**, see **[Documentation layout (`docs/`)](../../README.md)**.

## Why this exists

- **Search & versioning**: Wiki text is in Git, reviewable in PRs, and indexed by the site.
- **i18n**: Paired `Page.md` (DE) + `Page-en.md` (EN) are split by `wiki:normalize-i18n` into the default locale and `wiki/i18n/de/...`.
- **Sorting**: Audience trees (`EndUser/`, `ModDevs/`, `Contributors/`, `TechnicalReference/`, `DataCenterFAQ/`) use `_category_.json` **positions** so the sidebar order matches intent, not only A–Z. Root **`Home`** uses `sidebar_position: 1` so it appears first among loose pages.

## Keep the mirror up to date

1. Clone or pull the wiki repo into **`.wiki/`** at the **repository root** (same level as `docs/`):

   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/<org>/<repo>.wiki.git .wiki
   ```

2. From **`wiki/`** (the Docusaurus app):

   ```bash
   npm run wiki:refresh
   ```

   This runs **`wiki:sync`** (copy `.wiki` → `docs/wiki-import/`) and then **`wiki:normalize-i18n`**. If `.wiki` is missing, `wiki:sync` exits with an error; run `wiki:normalize-i18n` alone only when you are fixing splits without pulling the wiki.

3. Commit changes under **`docs/wiki-import/`** and **`wiki/i18n/de/...`** as needed, then open a PR.

## Editorial policy (recommended)

| Goal | Action |
|------|--------|
| **Short-term fix** on the live site | Edit files under `docs/wiki-import/` (and DE mirror if applicable). Optionally backport to `.wiki` so the next sync does not overwrite you. |
| **Canonical, long-term doc** | Add or move content into **`docs/topics/`**, **`docs/reference/`**, or **`docs/mods/`**, and link from the legacy page. |
| **Duplicate path** | The folder **`Contirbutors/`** is a typo duplicate of **`Contributors/`**; prefer **`Contributors/`** for new links. |
