Update Toolforge docs search to include all relevant docs
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The search box linked in the current Toolforge nav template only searches in pages whose title starts with ""Help:Tool"" , but there are multiple important pages with Toolforge-related content that don't have the Help: namespace or the Help:Tool... prefix, for example:

https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Portal:Toolforge
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Portal:Toolforge/About_Toolforge
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Portal:Toolforge/Contributing
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Portal:Toolforge/Nodes
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Portal:Toolforge/Tool_Accounts
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Replicas
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikitech:Cloud_Services_End_User_Terms_of_use
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikitech:Cloud_Services_Terms_of_use
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Development_recommendations_for_easily_moving_to_production
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Shared_storage
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Glossary
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Access_to_Toolforge_instances_with_PuTTY_and_WinSCP

Perhaps there's a template other than prefix search that we could use, like category search? Otherwise, the only way to search the correct collection of pages would be to (at the very least) rename all the Portal:Toolforge pages to use Help:Toolforge instead.

Good catch! I haven't tested this, but you could try an input box with a search filter.

Category search seems like it would work (assuming we go through and ensure all relevant pages have the correct Category tags) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Category#Searching_for_pages_in_categories

Small update: "Portal:Toolforge/Tool Accounts" has been moved to "Help:Toolforge/Tool Accounts"

I added the "Toolforge" category to all the docs listed in this original task description, and verified that all subpages of Help:Toolforge have the Toolforge category. In this revision I replaced the prefix-based search with category search for Toolforge docs.
