Logging in

  • Log in in the upper right hand corner.  This works like any other Duke login page.
  • If you or your team can't log in, find your policy group at 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.
  • We install the TinyMCE editor by default, but you can also click 'Edit source' next to the 'Edit' tab. In the future, you will be given a choice of editors and can change at any time.
  • 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 or members of a specific group, once they've logged in. Please note that your administrator can add you to the administrator list as well.

Creating and Editing Pages

  • You can create a new page either of these two ways:
  1. From an existing page (like this one), edit the existing page and link to the new page you're creating.  Use a format like this: [[New Page Name|name of page you would like to create]] Once you save that page, click on the link you just created.
  2. Or, type your new page name in the browser URL bar, removing Main_Page and putting the name of the page you want to create instead.


In either case, you will see:

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".  This will take you to an editor where you can finish creating the page.


  • Look at the various menu options available on the left side of the page. <- These can help you keep track of what happens on your wiki, especially the Recent changes item.
  • Finally, this is a completely empty wiki.  Make it your own space!
