Hi all,
for your information, many significant changes have been done on the wiki pages and their structure.
Many pages are now nested by theme to make it easier for new ConTeXt users to navigate (by giving them a better overview of the material available on a given subject) and for wiki users to identify duplicates and old content.
Of course, there are still “duplicates”, “aging content” and “unclear tutorials”, but the changes are significant and should be noted here.

- Before / After illustrations -
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/User:Garulfoo#January_2025_Wiki_before_.2F_after
Hoping that these improvements will compensate for the disruption to your habits and the inconveniences of recent weeks.

Hi,
That is amazing, thank you!
You did an amazing amount of work: user Garulfoo did 4400+ page edits in the last month.
Best wishes,
Taco

Hi Garulfo,
also big thanks from me, especially for the enhanced preview images and
the side-by-side layout option!
(Also thanks for Taco for their participation and continuous admin work!)
For me as someone who works with the wiki a lot, the restructuring needs
adjustment – I knew to key in most pages that I need, now I must search,
and the links (that I often share) got much longer.
I’m also not convinced that one hierarchical structure makes sense for a
wiki – generally and especially for a complex system like ConTeXt (there
are just too many subjects that fit in several places or nowhere) –
while overview pages and interlinking are essential.
But you did the work, and I’ll get used to it. If it helps eliminating
duplicates and outdated stuff, even better.
Hraban

Hi,
Some of you may have noticed that Garulfoo is very busy working on improving the ConTeXt wiki.
One of the areas that could be improved: the bitmap images that are generated from <context> tags in the wiki pages.
To optimize the effect of the improved image generation, I deleted all the old tex-generated images and cleared the page cache, but clearing the mediawiki page cache does behave a bit erratic at times. Sometimes pages will refuse to auto-regenerate without manual intervention and need a bit of help.
If/when you run into a page with "broken image" links, see if ”edit & save” the page without making changes fixes it. Doing so should trigger the regeneration thanks to the code that executes during the “save” step. If the page is still broken after that, please send us a warning at wiki@contextgarden.net
Best wishes,
Taco

Hi all,
I just updated the wiki ConTeXt to 20240108.
The <context> tag on the wiki by default uses luametatex (LMTX), but if you want luatex instead (MKIV), you can still do that by using <context mode=“mkiv”>.
There have been some problems recently because Hans’ new binaries needed a newer version of various system libraries.
I fixed that this morning after Hraban spotted the issue, but it means that there may be wiki pages with ConTeXt processing errors in them now. These can be recognised by either the colorised “error” output, or some cryptic “copy failed” message instead of the actual output.
If you see one of those pages, Edit it. For the colorised “error” output you need to make a tiny change to the example itself (because that “error” output is correct as far as the wiki software can tell, so you have to force it to regenerate). For the “copy failed” case, you just have to start an edit and then immediately save again. The wiki will autogenerate any missing examples on save.
Best wishes,
Taco
