BlueSpice goes beyond traditional documentation by integrating dynamic social features that foster interaction, personalization, and engagement with the wiki.
Tools like user mentions, blogs, user profiles, and page comments transform the wiki into a more personalized collaborative space.
Blogs
With this blog functionality, users find a space to share opinions, insights, and experiences that go beyond factual documentation. This fosters a culture of expertise and personal voice within the organization.
The wiki includes two namespaces — Blog and User_blog — that are reserved for wiki pages of type blog-page.
Page comments
Page Comments allow users to ask questions, suggest improvements, or clarify points directly on the page, keeping discussions contextual and focused. Instead of waiting for formal reviews or edits, contributors can quickly respond to feedback, making the content more agile and responsive.
Sometimes the most valuable insights come from informal remarks. Comments can surface practical tips, alternative perspectives, or real-world applications that enrich the main content. Instead of long email threads or separate chat discussions, comments centralize communication right where it’s needed—on the content itself.
User mentions
You can mention another user by simply typing the @-Symbol and then selecting a username. This generates a link to the user's profile page and the user receives a notification with a link to this page from the wiki.
User profiles
Each user in the wiki has a profile page. Everywhere the user name is shown in the wiki, it links to the related profile page. Seeing who contributed to a page adds a personal touch and reminds users that real people with expertise and intentions are behind the information.
Profiles can showcase a user’s role, skills, interests, and contributions—making it easier to find subject-matter experts or collaborators across the organization. Highlighting contributions on profile pages can help recognize efforts, boosting morale and reinforcing a culture of shared knowledge.
