Help Adding a topic

This page explains how to add a new topic category to GxPlex so it appears automatically on Themes and topics.

What is a topic?

A topic is a 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.

Adding a topic via the browser

Step 1 – Open the new category page

Navigate to http://<wiki-url>/index.php/Category:Your_Topic_Name in your browser. The page will show "There is currently no text in this page." Click Create to start editing.

Step 2 – Add the required content

Paste the following into the editor and adjust the highlighted parts:

{{#set: Description=A one-sentence description of what this topic covers.}}
Pages in this category cover …

== Documents ==

{{#ask: [[Category:Your Topic Name]] [[Status::+]]
| ?Document name = Name
| ?Status = Status
| ?Area of validity = Region
| ?Version = Version
| format=table
| headers=show
| limit=50
| sort=Status
}}

[[Category:Themes and topics]]

Part	What to change
Description=…	One sentence describing the topic — shown in the Themes and topics table.
Pages in this category cover …	A short introductory sentence visible on the category page itself.
[[Category:Your Topic Name]] in the ask query	Replace with the exact name of your new category.
[[Category:Themes and topics]] at the bottom	Do not remove. This line makes the topic appear in the overview table.

Step 3 – Save

Click Save page. The new topic will appear on Themes and topics immediately — no further steps needed.

Removing a topic

Edit the category page and remove the line [[Category:Themes and topics]], then save. The topic disappears from the overview on the next page load.
