When leaving a comment, users are given the option of providing a homepage to link their name to. A common error is to just provide a domain like "oddmuse.org" instead of a real URL. The resulting markup used to be [oddmuse.org YourName] which doesn't do what the user expected. That's why a piece of code used to check whether the homepage starts with "http://" and if it doesn't, it prefixes it, resulting in "[http://oddmuse.org YourName]". If the homepage started with "https://", however, the code did the wrong thing. That's why we're now checking whether the homepage starts with any known URL-protocol and a colon.
This is the README file distributed together with the Oddmuse script. To install the script, copy wiki.pl into your cgi-bin directory. This will store the pages in a temporary directory for you. In order to make this permanent, change the $DataDir option in the script from '/tmp/oddmuse' to 'oddmuse'. This will save the pages in a subdirectory of your cgi-bin directory. In order to start your wiki, click on the edit link (the first link below the navigation bar, at the bottom of the page). This will allow you to enter some text for this page. Click the Save button and you are done. To add new pages, edit the homepage and add links to new pages. Links are traditionally formed by ConcatenatingCapitalizedWords. This kind of link pattern is called a wiki word. Alternatively, put links in [[double square brackets]]. This kind of link pattern is called a free link. As long as the new pages don't exist, links to these pages are followed by a clickable question mark. Click on the question mark to create the new page. Enjoy your wiki experience.
