Welcome to your new Duke wiki space!
The space might feel familiar, because this wiki uses the same underlying software as Wikipedia, called mediawiki. Here are some things to note:
- The Log in link is in the upper right hand corner. It works like any other Duke login page.
- If you or your team can't log in, find your policy group here in this link and make sure everyone is listed as a member, even the owner of the group. Please see this link for more info about policy groups.
- A new page can be created in one of at least two ways:
- Type that new page name in the browser URL bar, removing Main_Page and putting the name of the page you want to create instead.
- Or you can edit an existing page (like this one) and point to a new page in the body of that page with the following format:
[[New Page Name|name of page you would like to create]]Once you save that page, click on the link you just created and you should get a note saying 'This page blah create' and click on 'create'. Edit that page like you normally would, and save it.
- Take a moment to look at the various menu options available over on the left. <-- They can help you keep track of what happens on your wiki. If you are listed as the administrator of this wiki, you will be able to do things like moderate content and add other users to be administrators, after they've logged in once. Please note that your administrator can add you to the administrator list as well.
- There are hundreds of mediawiki tutorials available at mediawiki.org and other places. [Here's one for new users](linky). [Here's a tutorial on YouTube](linky).
