This isn\u2019t new but I’m reproducing for my own benefit!<\/p>\n

I blogged ages ago about needing to get at the Event content type in SharePoint<\/a> which by default is in the _Hidden category<\/p>\n

I normally get at the Event content type by creating a calendar, enabling content types and then following the links until I uncover the content type<\/p>\n

Today I needed to use a Wiki Page as a content type but my usual method didn\u2019t work as you aren\u2019t able to manage content types in a wiki library<\/p>\n

When editing a content type your URL will look something like this (I\u2019m doing this on a SBS 2008 SharePoint setup)<\/p>\n

http:\/\/companyweb\/_layouts\/ManageContentType.aspx?ctype=0x0102<\/a><\/p>\n

The ctype<\/u> parameter identifies the content type (in this case the Event type)<\/p>\n

All I needed to do then was find the ID for the wiki page content type and a quick google search made this the easy part<\/p>\n

There were a ton of pages with this information but i used this one<\/a> as it also provided them in a useful CSV and XLS format (thanks!)<\/p>\n

The table below shows all the items in the _Hidden group. The full list is on the post i mentioned but I’m only interested in the hidden ones as i can get at the rest via the UI<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

*(these lists also include types for MOSS)<\/em><\/p>\n

There is also another post showing hidden Site Columns (here<\/a>) which also has the spreadsheet formats (though i couldn\u2019t get the page to open while i was writing this and ended up using Google\u2019s cache of the page)<\/p>\n

Once I\u2019d changed the group of the wiki page content type i then created a new wiki page content type that inherited from the original to create my own base wiki type (as I don\u2019t think you should mess with the built-in types!)<\/p>\n

I was able to use the wiki content type in regular a document library so i could mix wiki pages with regular documents (which was the whole point of the exercise!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
