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 page 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.
In both cases, you will get a note saying
There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, search the related logs, or create this page.
Click on the link for "create this page" to be taken to the editor.
- 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. Here's a tutorial on YouTube. We install the TinyMCE editor by default, but if you'd rather use plain HTML just click 'Edit source' next to the 'Edit' tab.
*Finally, this is a completely empty wiki. Make it your own space! Matt is going to do magic and have an intro to mediawiki class.
