[Moin-user] Simple workflow / Page approval

[Rick Vanderveer]

One additional tidbit to Marcel's excellent write-up:

For point 1, creating new pages:
What we do on our wiki is use the NewPage macro with a custom button
label and template like Marcel suggests, but also tie it into using
the FullSearchCached macro or the excellent third-party NaviTree macro
(it creates a nice bulleted alphabetical list of subpages).

So, for example, we have one page (this is a simplied example):

---------------------------------
== Sorted by LMS ==
## Don't edit this page!  Clients are added automatically using the
macro below!

=== SumTotal ===
<<FullSearchCached(title:LMSlist SumTotal)>>

=== PeopleSoft ===
<<FullSearchCached(title:LMSlist PeopleSoft)>>

== Add New Client Record ==
 1. Enter the client name below, and click the button.
 1. You will be taken to your new LMS template page, ready to edit.
Change the title & description to your needs, and click 'save'. Your
new client will automatically listed on this page.

<<NewPage(ClientTemplate,New Client Name,Toolkit/LMSlist)>>
-------------------------------------


and another page:
-------------------------------------
== Sorted Alphabetically By Client ==
## Don't edit this page!  Clients are added automatically using the
macro below!
<<Navitree(childtree)>>


== Add New Client Record ==
 1. Enter the client name below, and click the button.
 1. You will be taken to your new LMS template page, ready to edit.
Change the title & description to your needs, and click 'save'. Your
new client will automatically listed on this page.

<<NewPage(ClientTemplate,New Client Name,../LMSlist)>>

-------------------------------------
