2 Hard to tell when you leave documents and are just in other places on the Wiki (only indicator is breadcrumbs) 12/30/15

BB

Add breadcrumbs to wiki function pages (top only, no need for the bottom (back/next) because the pages are not ordered
3 Users can't find new Tutorial page since searches lead directly to outdated page which links to 4.2 versions of Tutorial 12/30/15

BB

Max to work on Functions by Category
7 Renaming pages breaks existing links in the following cases:

1) Redirect chains with 1< redirect ("double redirects")

2) If a page is redirected to a page that does not exist, e.g. by a typo in the target page name

Ana:Fn:MdxQuery

Check, Cdf, CDF, DefaultSize, EvaluationTime, FontStyle, Parameter types, Parameters, PDF, ProbValue, Script, SpreadsheetCell, Value, WhatIfAll,

Double redirects listed here

updated 1/27/16

BB

Either fix the functionality of redirects, or fix broken links

I/BB can fix the double redirects

BB

In some cases, the functions/ concepts can be linked as sections of other pages (e.g. MetaVar as Metavar..Do), but this makes linking unnecessarily complicated and error-prone, it is easier to just create simple individual pages for those concepts
12 Some (frequently linked) pages have very little content Array, Certain, ConcatN, Determinant, GCD, If0, Ifpos, LL Remove First , Mid, Mod, Sample, SelectText, TextLength 1/13/16;

This is related to but distinct from #16 above

30 Some page titles are not in Sentence case (All Words Have Capital Initials) Sections of the last chapters in the user guide, others 1/13/16

BB

Comment: this is a problem because it hinders fast interlinking
31 Some pages mention function parameters that are not declared «domainObj» mentioned at GetFract,

«indexSubpattern» at FindInText,

k at Dist serial correl and Normal additive gro, g and i at

Normal compound gro, several parameters at Normal serial correl

Comment: not clear what should be corrected -- declaration or discussion
32 Errors in subsection titles 4.7, 4.8 in Statistical Functions and Importance Weighting 1/15/16

BB

?Remove parameter types
33 Possible error: range [-180, 180) ComplexDegrees 1/18/16

BB

Not sure if this is an error or not
34 Some pages are not categorized Binary and hexadecimal integer formats, Configuring DCOM for remote invocation, Configuring Personalized Defaults, EnableEvalContextUse, INF, Nan, Zero and IEEE/SANE arithmetic, Retrieving Content From the Web, SipDecode, SipEncode, Using a Solver Add-on Engine, none of the functions in the Linked list library 1/20/16;

last updated 1/29/16

BB

No suitable categories seem to be available, would need to create new categories
35 Reference to outdated processing power (512M RAM), memory or OS versions (Windows XP) Working Set Size, Writing Array-Abstractable Definitions 1/20/16;

last updated 1/25/16

BB

36 On many pages, it is not clear if the parameters mentioned in text are formal parameters or actual parameters E.g. SubTable, MdTable, Wishart 1/21/16;

last updated 1/29/16

BB

Both formal and actual parameters / variables are frequently named A, I, x etc. This makes it hard to distinguish between them and to apply different formatting («A» vs A)
37 Sqrt / Root not assigned operator binding precedence Operators 1/21/16

BB

38 Tautology in the condition Size(i) >= Size(i) SingularValueDecomp 1/21/16

BB

One of the i's should be j
39 Should stdOut and stdErr be included as parameters in the function declaration? RunConsoleProcess 1/25/16

BB

Alternatively, the discussion could made clearer: currently stdOut and stdErr are mentioned in the discussion but missing from the formal declaration.
40 Many function pages do not have any examples E.g., CumPoisson, GCD, LL Remove First, Mod, NPer,

Using References -- empty example section, XMIrr, XNpv

1/26/16;

last updated 2/1/16

BB

I have not noted all example-less pages but could do it if needed.

Function combination could be used to add examples.

41 Conflict between text and example that follows Triangular_10_50_90 1/26/16

BB

Should the noErr parameter be true or false?
42 Some renamed functions are categorized both under the old name and under the new name, others are not E.g. Category:Special Functions has both IsNumber and Isnumber as elements 1/27/16

BB

Are there any cases when multiple categorizations are valuable?

Adding multiple copies of the same function to the category inflates categories without adding new information.

43 Some function definitions are not very clear Pareto, Wald, Warp_Dist 1/27/16

BB

44 Some distribution functions are missing from the listing at Distribution Densities Library CumWilcoxon, CumWilcoxonInv, Lorenzian , ProbTable, ProbWilcoxon, Wilcoxon

All multivariate distributions -- is that intensional?

Some negative or inverse functions are also missing.

1/27/16

BB

45 The CumDist page mentions that the User Guide contains an error -- has this error been fixed and can the note be removed? 1/27/16

BB

46 Some pages seem miscategorized Document style guide is categorized under array flattening functions, etc 1/27/16

BB

47 Content on some pages needs updating Analytica Libraries and Templates 1/28/16;

last updated 2/1/16 BB

1) Replace older deprecated (optimization) functions by current ones;

2) Add Base Conversion Function Library

3) Add Linked list library sections

4) Update financial library functions (cf. Financial library functions)

48 Some pages display gibberish code SipDecode 1/29/16

BB

49 Some pages use different capitalization of parameters in function declarations and in text PPmt and other financial functions 1/29/16

BB

Eg. nper vs NPer

If the user would like to use named parameters, it is important to know the right names, correct?

50 Some pages have unclear or incomplete examples Fv 1/29/16

BB

51 Analytica_Cloud_Player_(ACP)

contains the link "see Chapter 8 of the [Tutorial]." where Tutorial is a link to the PDF document. All links within and among the documents (Tutorial, User Guide, Optimizer Guide, ADE Developers Guide) should now be simple links within the wiki versions of those documents.  In this case, it should link directly to the relevant page of the Tutorial.  There should be no links remaining that say "See Chapter X of document Y". There may also be a few such links from pre-existing wiki pages that referred to these document, which can now link directly to the new wiki versions.

Analytica Cloud Player (ACP) 1/29/16

BB
52 Insert

1) links within each document

2) links between docs.

Go through the Tutorial sections, and add links under "See also" to relevant sections in the User Guide,

and vice versa, in the User Guide See also, add link back to relevant section in Tutorial, preferably with the user visible text saying Tutorial: <this topic>" so people know it;s going to the Tutorial.

BB
53 There seems to be a recent change to wiki css, math extension or parser definition that adds a long vertical line to the right of all math formulas. This line seems unnecessary and potentially confusing to users, so it would be good to remove it. E.g. Financial functions, MIrr 2/1/16

BB

The line cannot be removed by editing the math formula on the wiki page.
54 The Function library category page does not contain links to subcategory pages and does not allow to navigate down to function pages in this way Category:Function libraries 2/1/16

BB

The links included on the page are links to wiki pages describing the subcategories
55 Some function pages are missing function definitions (math formulas) Pvperp 2/1/16
