How to use the Wiki?

The Wiki, a great place to work on and store all kind of texts. A simple website which everyone can easily edit. Our Workspace and online archive.

If you want to work on some text please first log in (If you do not have one already, create an account) so everyone can see which version of that text you have done. Then click the edit icon at the right top to start editing. When ready fill out the summary and save or preview.

Use the discussion feature - link on the top - to discuss the texts and compare different versions with the small icon next to the edit icon.

Be aware that not everyone follows the wiki. If you did some important change or made a big discussion point announce them on the mailinglist.

To make a new page edit the page you chose as a parent. Think of a convincing name (like "blablabla") and put it into 2 couples of these brackets: "[[...]]"(like [[blablabla]]). Summarise, save and you will see the name of the new page with a little questionmark. Click it and you are on the new page.

Try  to structure your article. That means its always good to have headlines, words in bold, italic, bullet lists etc. or respecting the notes i give you now:

Headings are done with the =:

=word=  -> Heading 1
===word=== -> Heading 3

[[ ]] will do a new page or a link to an  existing page.

text closed in by a pair of 2 ' makes it italic:  ''text''  -> text
a pair of 3 ' make it bold: '''text''' -> text
4 ' make it bold &italic: ''''text'''' -> text

---- creates a horizontal line

a space " " in the beginning of the line makes a blue box around the text

URLs and Mailaddresses and such are converted automatically into clickable links. To replace the address by some text do [www.address.org text].

lists can be done with * or #, while # produces number and * bullets.  The more *s or #s you put, the farther it will be put to the right.

Something like this:      

* item 1                        
## a                               
## b                                      
*** c                                       
*** d                                       
* item 2                                     
* item 3                              

will produce something like this:

*item1
1.
       1. a
       2. b
*
         *      
                   *c
                   *d
*item2
*item3

a : at the beginning makes a tab, :: make 2 tabs, just like the lists
