Welcome to your new Duke wiki space!
The space might feel familiar, because this wiki uses the same underlying software as Wikipedia, called [mediawiki](linky). Here are some things to note:
- The Log in link is in the upper right hand corner (add screencap and link it here). 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](policy group) and make sure everyone is listed as a member, even the owner of the group. If you do not have access to add members, speak to the IT person who owns the group and have them add you as a member.
- 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 this page and point to a new page in the body of this page. Once you save it, click on the link and you should get a note saying 'This page blah create' and click on 'create'. Write in the page like you normally would, and save it.
- Take a moment to look at the various menu options available over on the right. <-- 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).
NOTE: does the option 'updaters' in policy group pages mean you can add other groups of people who can add members?????
you can only add other support groups, not regular ad-hoc groups, although if the updaters want, they can create (or use an existing) an ad-hoc group and any members can manage members from that
