About-button of plugins has broken refers

[klap-in]

Under the list of Plugins in the Gnome Do Preferences window there is an 'About' button. This button refers to the wiki pages with descriptions of the plugins.

Some of the referers are broken by changing links.
Examples:
broken: http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/index.php?title=VolumeControl_Plugin -->> should be: http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/index.php?title=Volume_Control_Plugin
broken: http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/index.php?title=WindowManager_Plugin -->> should be: http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/index.php?title=Window_Manager_Plugin
broken: http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/index.php?title=VinagreVNC_Plugin -->> should be: http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/index.php?title=Vinagre_Plugin
broken: http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/index.php?title=GNOMEScreenshot_Plugin -->> should be: http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/index.php?title=GNOME_Screenshot_Plugin
broken: http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/index.php?title=LocateFiles_Plugin -->> should be: http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/index.php?title=Locate_Plugin

So far I see so quick this are the broken links of the 'Official Plugins'. The other plugins I haven't checked.

A temporary solution is adding redirects to the correct wikipages.
But repair the referers in Gnome Do will be fine.

Confirmed with Do version 0.6.1.0-0ubuntu2 in Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid).

I added in redirects to the listed pages. It looks like not all of the plugins follow the wiki page naming convention. Is there a specific URL format that should be used to get the About links working consistently? It should be easy enough to add in redirects as required on any remaining pages and move things around from the original to the current redirect page as needed.

Examples of differing locations:
1. http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/index.php?title=DiskMounter_Plugin (works from About, and is the only page)
2. http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/index.php?title=GMailContacts_Plugin (works from About, and is the only page)

Based on some of the existing pages, they should be Disk_Mounter_Plugin and GMail_Contacts_Plugin.

After reading the code, for the "About" button to work, the pages need
to be named $id_Plugin, where $id is the value from the addin.xml file.
A current list of these is:

id="Amarok"
id="Archive"
id="Banshee"
id="Cl.ickable"
id="delicious"
id="DiskMounter"
id="Epiphany"
id="Evolution"
id="File"
id="Firefox"
id="Flickr"
id="GoogleCalendar"
id="GoogleDocs"
id="GMailContacts"
id="GNOMEDictionary"
id="GNOMEScreenshot"
id="GNOMESession"
id="GNOMETerminal"
id="GoogleCalculator"
id="GoogleMaps"
id="Google Search"
id="ImageShack"
id="Launchpad"
id="LocateFiles"
id="ManLookUp"
id="OpenSearch"
id="Pastebin"
id="Pidgin"
id="Rhythmbox"
id="Riptide"
id="RSS"
id="Shelf"
id="Tasque"
id="Text"
id="Tomboy"
id="Twitter"
id="VinagreVNC"
id="VolumeControl"
id="WindowManager"

What is the status of this, has anyone verified they do/dont work right now?

I just went through all of them in version 0.8.1.3. The following pages are still broken:

It might just be easiest to go through and create the wiki pages. At least adding in some sort of base template would be more reassuring than a message about the page not having been created. I didn't go through and see if pages for the 'broken' plugin links currently exist with a different title.

The addin description supports a URL attribute, we can use this to set wiki urls.
