==Basic Intro to Wiki==

==MediaWiki User Help==
* A wiki is one particular technology for supporting content visible on the internet as a web site; an example of wiki-based material is wikipedia;
+
Help on using and editing the Wiki can be found [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Contents here]
* Wiki-based sites are different to sites hosted with other technologies in that any registered user can edit material appearing on the site pages;
+
* to edit a page (once logged in), click on the Edit tab, top right of the page:
+
[[File:wiki page view edit tabs.jpg]]
+
* any page in the wiki appears to have both the page itself (''''Page'''' tab) and a discussion page (''''Discussion'''' tab); normally appears top left for any wiki page:
+

+
* If you want to add plain text to an existing page (or in a new page you have just created), go into edit mode, and you can just keep typing the plain text, don't try to do formatting.
+
* the simple page formatting codes can be added using the editor formatting buttons; for instance, highlight in your editing window text that you want to be '''bold''' then click the '''B''' button to insert the markup to make it appear bold.
+

+
* Once you are editing, at the bottom of the page you will see options to '''save page''', '''show preview''', '''show changes''' or '''Cancel''', to do what it says.
+
* The option '''Show preview''' then refreshes the editing page, with a preview of your edited page above the wiki source text that your are editing.
+
* you refer to an existing or a new page with the name of the page, surrounded by double square brackets '[' before and ']' after the name of a page.
+
* if the page already exists, such a reference would be a hyperlink to that page; if the page does not exist, by refering to a non-existent page by specifying such a reference, you essentially create a blank stub for that page. The 'link' will appear red if the stub has no content, or in blue if it has content.
+
* Click '''save page''' or '''Cancel''' to end your editing session, as appropriate.
+
* There is a link to wiki help that appears in the left sidebar, which is useful to keep open in a second browser tab, while becoming familiar with wiki editing:
