When the wiki stores lists of pages, such as pages that are locked or pages whose commit emails you want subscribe to, it uses a GlobList.
This is a list of page names, separated by white space. The "glob" bit is
that as well as full page names, it can contain glob patterns. "*
" stands
in for any part of the page name, and "?
" for any single letter of its
name. So if you wanted to list all the pages about tea, and any
SubPages of the SandBox, but not including the SandBox itself:
*tea* SandBox/*
You can also prefix an item in the list with "!
" to skip matching any
pages that match it. So if you want to specify all pages except for
Discussion pages and the SandBox:
* !SandBox !*/Discussion
It's also possible to match pages that link to a given page, by writing "link(page)" in a globlist. Or, match pages that a given page links to, by writing "backlink(page)".
