To select a set of pages, such as pages that are locked, pages
whose commit emails you want subscribe to, or pages to combine into a
blog, the wiki uses a PageSpec. This is an expression that matches
* and !SandBox and !*/Discussion
-Some more elaborate limits can be added to what matches using any of these
-functions:
+Some more elaborate limits can be added to what matches using these functions:
-* "`link(page)`" - match only pages that link to a given page (or glob)
-* "`backlink(page)`" - match only pages that a given page links to
-* "`creation_month(month)`" - match only pages created on the given month
+* "`link(page)`" - matches only pages that link to a given page (or glob)
+* "`tagged(tag)`" - matches pages that are tagged or link to the given tag (or
+ tags matched by a glob)
+* "`backlink(page)`" - matches only pages that a given page links to
+* "`creation_month(month)`" - matches only pages created on the given month
* "`creation_day(mday)`" - or day of the month
* "`creation_year(year)`" - or year
-* "`created_after(page)`" - match only pages created after the given page
+* "`created_after(page)`" - matches only pages created after the given page
was created
-* "`created_before(page)`" - match only pages created before the given page
+* "`created_before(page)`" - matches only pages created before the given page
was created
-* "`user(name)`" - only available in page subscription preferences, match
- only changes made by this user
+* "`glob(someglob)`" - matches pages that match the given glob. Just writing
+ the glob by itself is actually a shorthand for this function.
+* "`internal(glob)`" - like `glob()`, but matches even internal-use
+ pages that globs do not usually match.
+* "`title(glob)`", "`author(glob)`", "`authorurl(glob)`",
+ "`license(glob)`", "`copyright(glob)`" - match pages that have the given
+ metadata, matching the specified glob.
+* "`user(username)`" - tests whether a modification is being made by a
+ user with the specified username. If openid is enabled, an openid can also
+ be put here.
+* "`admin()`" - tests whether a modification is being made by one of the
+ wiki admins.
+* "`ip(address)`" - tests whether a modification is being made from the
+ specified IP address.
+* "`postcomment(glob)`" - matches only when comments are being
+ posted to a page matching the specified glob
For example, to match all pages in a blog that link to the page about music
and were written in 2005:
grouping. For example, to match pages in a blog that are tagged with either
of two tags, use:
- blog/* and (link(tag/foo) or link(tag/bar))
+ blog/* and (tagged(foo) or tagged(bar))
Note that page names in PageSpecs are matched against the absolute
filenames of the pages in the wiki, so a pagespec "foo" used on page
"a/b" will not match a page named "a/foo" or "a/b/foo". To match
relative to the directory of the page containing the pagespec, you can
use "./". For example, "./foo" on page "a/b" matches page "a/foo".

-## Old syntax
-
-The old PageSpec syntax was called a "GlobList", and worked differently in
-two ways:
-
-1. "and" and "or" were not used; any page matching any item from the list
- matched.
-2. If an item was prefixed with "`!`", then no page matching that item
- matched, even if it matched an earlier list item.
-
-For example, here is the old way to match all pages except for the SandBox
-and Discussion pages:
-
- * !SandBox !*/Discussion
-
-Using this old syntax is still supported. However, the old syntax is
-deprecated and will be removed at some point, and using the new syntax is
-recommended.
