<p><b>New page</b></p><div>This page explains how to add a new topic category to GxPlex so it appears automatically on [[Themes_and_topics|Themes and topics]].<br />
<br />
== What is a topic? ==<br />
<br />
A topic is a [[Special:Categories|category page]] that groups related regulatory documents. Every topic must belong to the parent category "Themes and topics" and carry a short description so it appears in the overview table.<br />
<br />
== Adding a topic via the browser ==<br />
<br />
=== Step 1 – Open the new category page ===<br />
<br />
Navigate to <code>http://&lt;wiki-url&gt;/index.php/Category:Your_Topic_Name</code> in your browser. The page will show "There is currently no text in this page." Click '''Create''' to start editing.<br />
<br />
=== Step 2 – Add the required content ===<br />
<br />
Paste the following into the editor and adjust the highlighted parts:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
{{#set: Description=A one-sentence description of what this topic covers.}}<br />
Pages in this category cover …<br />
<br />
== Documents ==<br />
<br />
{{#ask: [[Category:Your Topic Name]] [[Status::+]]<br />
| ?Document name = Name<br />
| ?Status = Status<br />
| ?Area of validity = Region<br />
| ?Version = Version<br />
| format=table<br />
| headers=show<br />
| limit=50<br />
| sort=Status<br />
}}<br />
<br />
[[Category:Themes and topics]]<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! Part !! What to change<br />
|-<br />
| <code>Description=…</code> || One sentence describing the topic — shown in the [[Themes_and_topics|Themes and topics]] table.<br />
|-<br />
| <code>Pages in this category cover …</code> || A short introductory sentence visible on the category page itself.<br />
|-<br />
| <code><nowiki>[[Category:Your Topic Name]]</nowiki></code> in the ask query || Replace with the exact name of your new category.<br />
|-<br />
| <code><nowiki>[[Category:Themes and topics]]</nowiki></code> at the bottom || '''Do not remove.''' This line makes the topic appear in the overview table.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
=== Step 3 – Save ===<br />
<br />
Click '''Save page'''. The new topic will appear on [[Themes_and_topics|Themes and topics]] immediately — no further steps needed.<br />
<br />
== Removing a topic ==<br />
<br />
Edit the category page and remove the line <code><nowiki>[[Category:Themes and topics]]</nowiki></code>, then save. The topic disappears from the overview on the next page load.<br />
