The template is itself a wiki so you can go to that wiki and customize it and it will be copied. > > I am also confused about how to manage extensions across the different > wikis?

There is various ways: * the extensions you install in the template will be copied when you create a new wiki from it * go to each wiki and install the extension * install the extension from main wiki selecting "Install on farm" (which makes the extension available in all wikis) instead of the default "Install" (which only install on current wiki). > > We've been using the wiki in a single department so far but now that we are > going to create multiple wikis I'd like to move the existing content to a > new wiki (so that Home is very pure and used only for navigating to other > wikis).

Yes standard import/export take into account plain pages and loose extensions related information. You can reinstall the extensions in the new wiki (it won't do anything if the page are equals and it will ask you what to do if you modified a standard page of the extension). > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users -- Thomas Mortagne _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
