Wiki Page not showing any content when a Wiki Page Library created from saved template

This is a weird issue I found. One of my users saved a Wiki Page library as a template and created a new wiki page library.

The new Wiki Lib works fine as expected and then he had deleted the old one.

Now when he tried to create another wiki library from the new wiki lib, it gave all the pages but the weird thing is all contents are gone.

I performed following steps to resolve this issue.

i.e. Source Wiki Page Library = Lib A

i.e. New Wiki Page Library = Lib B

·         Open Lib B which made from Lib A and having all the content

·         Click on the drop down of each pages and then click “Edit Properties”

·         Click on OK without changing any content

·         Then save Lib B as a template

·         Create a new Wiki Lib (i.e. Lib C)

·         You will get all contents (Wiki Pages) with all contents in it.

Please let me know in case of any issues / queries.

Rename wiki page title in MOSS 2007 / SharePoint 2010 without changing site URL

In Wiki pages if you change the page title it will also change the site URL.
So if you have put it as a reference on any site that link will be broken
Here is the method I have successfully used to change the page title without changing the site URL

• Open the SharePoint site in SharePoint Designer


• In Design mode select the page title, and rename it


• Here I have found very weird behavior that in code window <title> parameter is missing so to generate <title> parameter remove Page Title from the design view


• Page title is associated with “SharePoint:ListItemProperty”, so when we remove page title from the page this parameter will be removed in the code <SharePoint:ListItemProperty runat=”server”/>


• Now in the design window add your own title which will generate <p> your title </p> parameter in code and you can refer this parameter for any future changes.

You can hide the page (Wiki page) title by simply adding comment “<!-- <p> title </p> -->”
Feel free to reach me in case of any queries.

Create folder in Wiki Page Library

By default there isn’t any option to create a folder inside Wiki Page Library, please find following figure.The only option available is New Wiki Page.

Also it is not possible to enable content type and then get a folder option. This is something tricky to create a folder inside Wiki Page Library.

Open the Wiki Page Library in Windows Explorer , make sure there isn't any option for Explorer view or there isn't any option under actions  menu.

Create or copy windows folders inside it and come back to Wiki Library in browser and refresh the page.

Here you will get folder created in Wiki Page Library.

Hope this will be helpful.
