Skeleton/meta/doc

Copy and Paste Template for Projects

The first like has to stay like this. Please do not modify it, as it could break the displaying of the lists or meta info boxes. NOTE: Please remove the optional fields you don't need from the list, otherwise it could have unwanted side effects on the layout.
Stars mark the fields that are mandatory.

Parameter Description

name (mandatory)

Reflects the name of the project. This field has 2 functions:

Display Name
Page Name + Display Name

If you would like to show an other name in the meta information sections, than the name of the page, you can use this field to set a display name. In this case you will have to set the 'wikiPageName' field to the name of the page.

For this skeleton project page it looks like this:
