→Pre-existing pages
We of course want such pages to be converted into the new format. The recipe for that is:
* Move the existing page away to e.g. `/Command_old/setuphead` (this can be done via the `More` dropdown at the top of the page). <br/>Do Make sure you '''notuncheck''' the '' leave a redirect'' box, or you will first have to delete that redirect again using the `More` dropdown at the top of the page. The goal of this step is to make `Command/setuphead` temporarily be a 'Missing page', so that the extension can initialise it.* Now go to the `/Command/setuphead` url.<br/>If you followed a wiki link, it should automatically open the editor. Otherwise, click on the `Create` link.<br/>The edit screen will automatically be filled with an XML template that is suitable for the command you are editing.
* If the Edit field remains empty, you are trying to document a no longer existing command, and you should stop editing and ask for advice on the mailing list.
* If the Edit field contains a single `#REDIRECT` line this command that is generated (as explained above). Save the redirect, then continue with editing the `#REDIRECT` target page.
* Open `/Command_old/setuphead` in a different browser window, and copy the documentation therein into the proper spots of the new `/Command/setuphead` page.* Save the new `/Command/setuphead`, and delete the `/Command_old/setuphead` page (this can also be done via the `More` dropdown at the top of the page)
If you want to help: there are three pages with specifics about what needs to be checked, converted or added:
