About searching wikis.

This page assumes (basically) that the official help has been read. Nevertheless, the official help is less specific than our wikis (from various imports of earlier wikis - including Forge).

Not about Help on the game - rather see:

Various tips and links

  • On your favorite search engine, typing for example site:en.wiki.ryzom.com patch map will return all content (pages, images tagged...) found on https://en.wiki.ryzom.com with the patch or "map" terms
  • See the following categories: Category:Help and the Help namespace.
  • Most of the pages created by the homins should be somewhere under Roleplay (Player Characters...) or one of the Gameplay subcategories (in-game help for Fight, Craft...). Please use Mysteries (for spoilers).
    • Please do not put these categories in your pages (use the sub-subcategories of Encyclopatys or only Roleplay or Gameplay): Encyclopatys, Wikipatys, Forge and Lore.
    • More on Categorization and Categorization/how to (rewriting in progress in April/March 2020).
  • Pages under your profile are, by default,quite hidden (ex: User:YourName/Draft, User:YourName/OOC) as long as no categories have been added.
  • For images (all on Common wiki, for all our wikis: in English, German, French, Spanish and Russian - default language is English): help about categorization SOS/catImage, or use the right part categories on the common Main page.
  • Wiki edit rech remplace.png
    To search and/or replace text in wiki code (in page edit mode), unfold Advanced, Search and Replace is on the far right.

Official forum

On top, there's several very handy links:

Important tips about wiki search

  • The search works "by language", because each wiki has its own database (EN, FR, DE, SP and RU + common: look at the beginning of the URL addresses at the following points: en.wiki fr.wiki but also atys.wiki.ryzom.com). Bellow you'll find a comparison of the search forms on the 5 wikis.
  • Once you have launched a Search, you will arrive on a page called Search Results - which has the following links:
    • Content page (default): shows at the top "in the page titles" then in the "page text".
    • Multimedia most of the images are on the common [1]. Only the fr:Catégorie:Images FR Migrées and the Category:Images are images hosted in the COMMON, which have been given a local description (more: SOS/catImage).
    • Everything a shortcut to Advanced Search with all ns checked
    • Advanced (see image below): add a form to select namespaces (ns)
EN search on wiki 2020-04-05.png
simple search is very partial, because it don't use all name spaces

Advanced search's forms on the wikis

More on the namespaces :

Portals and categories

Portals show you some selected pages (see down page the main portals).

Categories are at the heart of how wikis work, they should be seen as tags.
Categories are displayed at the bottom of pages.

You can add several categories to one of your pages, so that it can be easily found.

On the official forum:



Searching with Google

🇬🇧 Wiki search is quite weak... 🇫🇷 La recherche du wiki laisse à désirer... 🇫🇷 Advanced search tips, with Goo (for Google)

  • in the simple search, site: allows you to limit the search to a single site. For ex site:https://fr.wiki.ryzom.com search on the French wiki (FR), but for the EN wiki:site:https://en.wiki.ryzom.com...
An ex with zora in several wikis
wiki FR Wiki EN Common Wiki search
197 results 121 results 17 results all ns 4 pages (then in wiki code) and

only the main ns 2 pages (then in wiki code)

  • with zora site:https://wiki.ryzom.com/ we search on all wikis: about 1 510 results


On the other hand: you can't search with * (as with wiki search). Previously, Goo search with magi used to search for all words beginning with magi (magic, magical, magics etc), but not anymore :(

Images

To search for images on common: https://www.google.com/advanced_image_search 2 ex, with zora:

forum

site:https://app.ryzom.com/app_forum


ex with zora About 1,030 results because after the forum the results are presented on wikis.




  1. The COMMON wiki is in English because common to all 5 wikis, its URL starts atys.ryzom.com, and hosts the files. A table of the main categories is at atys:Main_Page or using categories under atys:Category:Encyclopatys).
