Pioneer pages

After entering the term "pioneer" in the search function, three pages are listed. None of them however is the page that I am looking for. The page that I am looking for is the Pioneer page on which at least three pioneers are mentioned. Regine.

This is because the pioneergroup page can be found by looking for pioneergroup. i will ask raymond how to make change it. also you can sign your posts on talkpages by typing ~~ ~~ but then without the space in the middle. jorisvantende 22:43, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Looking for pioneergroup gives the same three results, not the one I am looking for Dr. ir. Regine W. Vroom - Industrial Design Engineering - Delft University of Technology 07:35, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

In fact, I'm having the same problem, even when I do search by the exact provided search term "pioneergroup." Is something broken?

Ps. The page itself can be found here, Regine. I don't know why the search tool cannot find it, though. StephanHooft 10:59, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanx Stephan. I have just spoken with Raymond Jelierse. He will have a look at it. Dr. ir. Regine W. Vroom - Industrial Design Engineering - Delft University of Technology 11:32, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

The reason it does not find the page directly is because the WikID-namespace isn't searched by default. Furthermore, the search function apparently only matches complete words, not parts of it. So, in short, the pioneergroup-page can be found by searching for pioneergroup and including the WikID-namespace in the search. Rjelierse 13:57, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

A few remarks about importing articles

• The import wizard does not copy images and copies all the links from the original page, creating the impression that all those are 'wanted pages', while probably only a selection of them are actually wanted at this stage in WikID development.
• I might get started on modifying the import wizard to deal with this or write a new script to handle it. Since i'm not an experienced programmer, I could use some help though.

A new extension was written to clean up imported pages: Edit Links. Further documentation is found here.
