If this is the first time you've used a 'wiki'
The basic principles of this Website are:
- A. You don't need to log on to look at any page.
- B. You can find out more by clicking on any word or phrase that appears in blue.
- C. If you want to get back to where you were, use the 'Back' button in your browser.
- D. If you want to change the content of a page, you'll need first to log in.
- E. But to log in, you need to have a Username and Password. Anyone can create a Username and Password.
- F. To edit a page, you'll need to :
- press the edit tab at the top of the page,
- make your changes, and then
- press the Save page button close to the bottom of the page.
For the System Adminstrator
- To change the logo: image_logo_url put just the url for the logo that you want in the upper left corner of your wiki.
- Control the rights of anonymous and logged in users through the Control Panel (which can be found in the toolbox on the left side of this page).
- Add the url for your wiki to the Categorized wiki list. Simply edit that page and put your wiki under the appropriate category.
- To increase the amount of space you have for uploads, add links to http://editthis.info from external sites, and go to the Link Quota Page to increase your uploads quota.
- Edit MediaWiki:Sidebar to change the navigation menu
- Add this wiki to some external wiki indexes:
- If you are feeling adventurous and know a little about web design you can edit the javascript and css to the Header to change the look of your wiki.
- You must log as admin to do this
- Whatever you enter in this page will be added to the html in the header after the standard style sheet, so you can override styles.
- Read the User's Guide for other usage and configuration help.
- Add your wiki to the map of wikis
- Add a message to the Feedback Page if you see anything that could be improved.
