h4. Spacekey

Each space has a unique identifier across the entire FAI wiki called the *spacekey*.

The spacekey of each top level space in the FAI wiki will generally be the acronym of a FAI commission, for example *cima*.

The FAI wiki is using a protocol that sub-space spaceKeys should start with the same acronym, so for example, the CIMA bureau's spaceKey is *cimaBureau*.
When creating a new space it is *very important* to get the spaceKey right first time because changing it later may involve the loss of some data, for example news/blog posts in a space cannot be moved to another space.

You will notice the spacekey is used in the URL to pages in spaces, for example the space key for this space is _faiWikiDocumentation._ A change of spacekey will therefore break most links pointing at the space, both internal links and ones from outside the wiki.

There are several [macros] which will take the spacekey as an argument to limit the scope of its functionality, for example:

This can only be done by an administrator.

Go to *Space administration* \--> *Create a sub Space*.

Choose a suitable name for the space.

Remember to assign a spaceKey to the new space according to the protocol described above.

In *Who can use this space?* uncheck everything.  You will assign group permissions later.  For now, only you will have permission to even view the new space.

In Theme, select the *default theme* which is designed to reflect the FAI overall look and feel. 

Click *OK*.  The space will be created with a default home page for you to start work on.

Probably you do not have the correct layout with your commission's spaces menu on the left.

Go to *Space administration* \--> *Choose Layout*.

Layouts are arranged in a tree and your commission's main layout will be under the FAI layout (eg CIMA).  Select that one, and click *Save*.

You should now set up the [permissions] for the space.

h4. Moving a space

As noted above, every space is a stand-alone space with it's own permissions Etc. so moving a space is a merely cosmetic action so it appears in the correct hierarchy of menus Etc.

Go to *Space administration* \--> *Set Parent Space* and assign the correct parent space.\\ \\
