-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
-a set of pages.
-
-The simplest PageSpec is a simple list of pages. For example, this matches
-any of the three listed pages:
-
- foo or bar or baz
-
-More often you will want to match any pages that have a particular thing in
-their name. You can do this using a glob pattern. "`*`" stands for any part
-of a page name, and "`?`" for any single letter of a page name. So this
-matches all pages about music, and any [[SubPage]]s of the SandBox, but does
-not match the SandBox itself:
-
- *music* or SandBox/*
-
-You can also prefix an item with "`!`" to skip pages that match it. So to
-match all pages except for Discussion pages and the SandBox:
-
- * and !SandBox and !*/Discussion
-
-Some more elaborate limits can be added to what matches using these functions:
-
-* "`glob(someglob)`" - matches pages and other files that match the given glob.
- Just writing the glob by itself is actually a shorthand for this function.
-* "`page(glob)`" - like `glob()`, but only matches pages, not other files
-* "`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 files created on the given month
-* "`creation_day(mday)`" - or day of the month
-* "`creation_year(year)`" - or year
-* "`created_after(page)`" - matches only files created after the given page
- was created
-* "`created_before(page)`" - matches only files created before the given page
- was created
-* "`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)`", "`guid(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. Glob patterns can be used in the username. For example,
- to match all openid users, use `user(*://*)`
-* "`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.
-* "`comment(glob)`" - matches comments to a page matching the glob.
-* "`comment_pending(glob)`" - matches unmoderated, pending comments.
-* "`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:
-
- blog/* and link(music) and creation_year(2005)
-
-Note the use of "and" in the above example, that means that only pages that
-match each of the three expressions match the whole. Use "and" when you
-want to combine expression like that; "or" when it's enough for a page to
-match one expression. Note that it doesn't make sense to say "index and
-SandBox", since no page can match both expressions.
-
-More complex expressions can also be created, by using parentheses for
-grouping. For example, to match pages in a blog that are tagged with either
-of two tags, use:
-
- 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".
