Talk:Faq/Base/How to import CSV into Base

From The Document Foundation Wiki

This is my first contribution here and I was not surprised to discover that I had to click Save twice to assert that it is not spam. I hope my human reviewers agree that this is a helpful and constructive addition to this wiki.

I have used wikis before, and created this page and this talk from that knowledge. There is more info about me on my name page (as linked below).

As yet my new page is an "orphan", that is one not referenced anywhere else in this wiki except in another Talk page.

I want to link to this page from the Base Faq pages, in the import section, but hit two bumps in my learning curve.

  1. I do not know how to create the Faq/100 type link
  2. I do not know how to make the page compatible with the translation system as in the past I have only used monolingual wikis.

Please could a suitable wizard advise me of my next steps, and tell me about any other learning points that I am not yet even aware that I need to know in order to play nicely here.

Also the page is still incomplete -- as the original page author I still intend to more information about the four options: to give the advantages and disadvantages in more detail, and to give more info about howto actually do the first two.

I intend to leave it to others to describe the Macro and SQL approaches needed for options 3 and 4. My request is that you create new pages for each of those when you are ready, as otherwise they will completely swamp the current page.
