How to use the wiki
Categories
Information resides in pages. Each page may belong to a category, which is Mediawiki's way to name collections of pages that can have their own access parameters, indexing, table of contents, etc. We have already created the following categories for E-CURATORS, and normally new pages should reside in one of them:
| Category | Intended use |
|---|---|
| Research | E-CURATORS research notes, background information, methods and procedures, lists of contacts and resources, internal reports, links to public release reports, publications and presentations |
| Technical | Server installation, administration and relevant howtos on the digital and technical infrastructure and services in the project |
| Management | Project management-related, scheduling, financial and contract procedures, timesheets, travel remuneration etc |
Creating pages
To create a new page, add a reference to it in a relevant section of an existing page. A link to a page that does not yet exist will be red. When you click on a red link you will be presented with an opportunity to create the page.
The syntax for creating an internal link is by enclosing the title of the page in double square brackets. Content to the right of a pipe (|) will be displayed instead of the title of the linked page. In both of the following cases, the new page is titled 'Research questions'
[[Research questions]] appears as: Research questions [[Research questions|Refining the E-CURATORS research questions]] appears as: Refining the E-CURATORS research questions
Editing pages
To edit a page, use the 'edit' button located at the page's top right corner. You can also edit specific sections by pressing the edit buttons located next to section headers.
MediaWiki leverages a specialized syntax to format and render content. See the MediaWiki User's Guide for an in depth overview and examples to draw from.
