WikiQueryLanguage

Last edit June 11, 2012
To make searches within and among Wikis ThinkingOutLoud.DonaldNoyes.20120611
CompoundWikiWords would be used in procedures executed using a WikiQueryLanguage? (WQL).

Unimplemented (as yet) in any WikiEngine I know
Possibility Notions: (offered for thinking purposes only, hopefully implementations will follow)

An ExecutableProcessName Followed by a colon, then a WikiWordExpression

To search for pages containing a word in the current wiki:
  • Find_Display:PageNames_ContainingWord
To search for pages containing a word in another wiki:
  • Find_Display:PageNames_WikiName_ContainingWord

Commands might be assembled into named scripts:
  • Search for pages with a given word in a selected wiki
    • Find_Listto_PagesFound:PageNames_ContainingWord
  • Process the list so as to prepare a page containing a list of found pages as links
  • Save the list page using a given page name
