Quick start

In a wiki, one can easily enter all kinds of data, make links to data within the wiki or to sources outside of it.

A wiki is devided into wiki pages that contain information on the one hand, and so called namespaces) on the other hand. Name spaces correspond to direcories in which data is stored and ordered.
Notation in wiki's is namespace:namespace:page

To enter a new wiki page or namespace::

Edit the page where you want to make the new page, add a new item and click the Save button below the edit screen. The link to the new page will appear in red.

Select the page and click create new page.

Choose a heading (eg H1) and type the text you want for your heading.

Type a brief introduction of the namespace.

Adding pages works in the analogous way.

Tip: click the edit icon (pencil) on the right hand side, to view the page source and copy the syntax constructions that appeal to you. Click Cancel when you are done viewing a page's source or click Save to store the changes you made.

Note: links to MS Windows shares only work in Internet Explorer, and depend on its settings.
