Action points on a page:
All open action points in the wiki:

This template creates action points that can be included on meeting minutes or other wiki pages. In addition, an overview page of all open tasks is included.

It requires SemanticMediaWiki ( included in BlueSpice pro).

Importing the template

The import file is included in the archive file HW-Action points.zip. Unpack the zip file first.

On the page Special:Import follow these steps:

1. Select file and choose HW-Action points.xml.
2. Enter an Interwiki prefix. Since this field is required, simply add hw (for hallowelt).
3. Keep the selection Import to default locations.
4. Click Upload file... .

The template is now available in your wiki.

Pages included in the import

The xml import creates the following files in your wiki:

• Template:Action points
• Template:Action points/styles.css
• Action points (Page in the main namespace)
• Property:Ap-duedate
• Property:Ap-name
• Property:Ap-status

Using the template

1. Add the template from the VisualEditor insert-dialog.
2. Fill in the form fields as needed.

Note: If, after importin the template to your wiki, the input fields are not displayed when you first integrate it into a wiki page, you need to open the template in the template namespace, make a change (e.g. insert spaces) and save the template. The input fields should now be displayed correctly.

Task overview list

The included page "Action points list" shows all open tasks. It uses SMW to display a table of all open tasks in the wiki, but can be easily adjusted to filter by namespace or subpages (to filter out meeting minutes, for example).
