Motivate me===<br /> <br /> At it's heart a Wiki is a collaboration tool. The question is when and where to use it? Let's tackle first by giving some use cases:<br /> <br /> * '''(Collaborative) Research'''<br /> ** Since all changes and every in-between state of pages is stored, it makes simple the three A's of research:<br /> *** Authentication: you can set up wikis so that only certain people can edit content. Thus, to edit content, people will need to authenticate with the wiki software.<br /> *** Authorized: by authenticating, the wiki authorizes them to edit the web resources it contains.<br /> *** Auditing: by editing web resources as an authenticated user, the system now can keep basic statistics, like when a certain piece of information was added or removed, who modified the page, and when. (What do we know and when did we learn it?)<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Cluster:Wiki: current Collaboration Scene==<br /> <br /> ===Current Topography===<br /> * '''Physically meet'''<br /> ** Two or more people can have a meeting. Just have everyone who needs to be in on &quot;it&quot; show up at the meeting.<br /> * '''Letters'''<br /> ** Allows (roughly) two people to communicate. Just need to pay a lot for stamps, wait a couple of days for the letters to travel.<br /> * '''Email'''<br /> ** Akin to letters, but a heck of a lot faster and cheaper. It's also easier to keep multiple people in the loop. (What's the latest thread?)<br /> * '''Telephone'''<br /> ** Allows two to communicate over long distances. Teleconference phone calls allow more than two people to communicate. Expensive. People still have to actually (virtually) ''be at the meeting''.<br /> * '''Wiki'''<br /> ** Allow anyone in a given group to edit pages on the wiki. When I'm asleep, Alexa in Taiwan can put something up, and then I can read it later. Cheap, instant. &quot;Always up to date.&quot; Separates discussion from &quot;solved&quot;.<br /> * '''What's missing?'''<br /> ** There is at least one item missing from this list. What is it?<br /> <br /> I'll motivate wikis in a minute, but first let's see [[Cluster:Wiki:HowTo|''how'']] to do them.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Content:CS Wiki Setup==<br /> <br /> The wiki site (this site) runs off of [[Servers:Quark | Quark]]. It uses Mediawiki 1.3.7 (we might want to think about upgrading that).<br /> <br /> The document root for the wiki is located at &lt;code&gt;/clients/www/mediawiki&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> The Apache configuration for the mediawiki subdomain is located at &lt;code&gt;/usr/local/etc/apache22/extra/httpd-ssl.conf&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Wiki Syntax==<br /> <br /> __NOTOC__<br /> Here's Wikipedia's page on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Cheatsheet how to use wiki syntax].&lt;br /&gt;<br /> Here's Mediawiki's page on [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting Wiki Formatting Help].<br /> <br /> === Headings ===<br /> To create headings, put a the heading on a line by itself and use equals signs (=) around the text. Fewer equals signs means a bigger heading.<br /> <br /> For instance, the following wiki code<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> = Heading One =<br /> == Heading Two ==<br /> === Heading Three ===<br /> ==== Heading Four ====<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> would look like this:<br /> <br /> = Heading One =<br /> == Heading Two ==<br /> === Heading Three ===<br /> ==== Heading Four ====<br /> <br /> === Linking to a Page ===<br /> Linking to a page inside the wiki is easy: just type two square brackets, the name of the page, and then two square brackets. For instance, to link to a page called My Curriculum, type '''&lt;nowiki&gt;[[My Curriculum]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;'''.<br /> <br /> To link to a page outside of the wiki, use one square brackets, the URL, the text you want displayed, and then the ending bracket. For instance, to link to Google, type '''&lt;nowiki&gt;[http://google.com Google is convenient]&lt;/nowiki&gt;'''. This example would look like this: [http://google.com Google is convenient].<br /> <br /> === Creating a Page ===<br /> To create a page, just create a link as above to a page that doesn't exist yet. The first time you click on the link, you'll be able to start creating contents.<br /> <br /> === Bold, Italics, and Bullets, Oh my! ===<br /> To create something in bold, use three apostrophes, like &lt;nowiki&gt;'''this is bold.'''&lt;/nowiki&gt;. The previous example would look like this: '''this is bold.'''<br /> <br /> To create something in italics, use two apostrophes, like &lt;nowiki&gt;''this is italic''&lt;/nowiki&gt;. The previous example would look like this: ''this is italic''.<br /> <br /> To be both bold and italic, add the apostrophes together for a total of five apostrophes.<br /> <br /> Bulleted lists can automatically be created by adding an asterisk (*) in front of the text. For instance, wiki code that looks like this:<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> * Cats are nice<br /> * I also like dogs<br /> ** Poodles are my favorite<br /> ** I also like bichons<br /> * Aquariums are fun but take work<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> is displayed like this:<br /> <br /> * Cats are nice<br /> * I also like dogs<br /> ** Poodles are my favorite<br /> ** I also like bichons<br /> * Aquariums are fun but take work<br /> <br /> Numbered lists: use # instead of *<br /> <br /> To insert a line break inside of a bulleted item or numbered item, use &lt;pre&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;<br /> Do NOT press Enter inside your code for a single bulleted item. For example,<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> *My dogs (each with babies):<br /> *# Dachshund<br /> *# Leonberger<br /> *# Oh, here's my email address:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;retriever@newfoundland.edu&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please feel free to copy it!<br /> *# Right, I shouldn't forget my chao chao<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> is displayed as:<br /> <br /> *My dogs (each with babies):<br /> *# Dachshund<br /> *# Leonberger<br /> *# Oh, here's my email address:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;retriever@newfoundland.edu&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please feel free to copy it!<br /> *# Right, I shouldn't forget my chao chao<br /> <br /> [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:List More on bulleted lists and numbered lists.]<br /> <br /> When you start to edit this page, you will see the syntax I am using to create different effects.

The previous example would look like this: '''this is bold.'''<br /> <br /> To create something in italics, use two apostrophes, like &lt;nowiki&gt;''this is italic''&lt;/nowiki&gt;. The previous example would look like this: ''this is italic''.<br /> <br /> To be both bold and italic, add the apostrophes together for a total of five apostrophes.<br /> <br /> Bulleted lists can automatically be created by adding an asterisk (*) in front of the text. For instance, wiki code that looks like this:<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> * Cats are nice<br /> * I also like dogs<br /> ** Poodles are my favorite<br /> ** I also like bichons<br /> * Aquariums are fun but take work<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> is displayed like this:<br /> <br /> * Cats are nice<br /> * I also like dogs<br /> ** Poodles are my favorite<br /> ** I also like bichons<br /> * Aquariums are fun but take work<br /> <br /> Numbered lists: use # instead of *<br /> <br /> To insert a line break inside of a bulleted item or numbered item, use &lt;pre&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;<br /> Do NOT press Enter inside your code for a single bulleted item. For example,<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> *My dogs (each with babies):<br /> *# Dachshund<br /> *# Leonberger<br /> *# Oh, here's my email address:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;retriever@newfoundland.edu&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please feel free to copy it!<br /> *# Right, I shouldn't forget my chao chao<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> is displayed as:<br /> <br /> *My dogs (each with babies):<br /> *# Dachshund<br /> *# Leonberger<br /> *# Oh, here's my email address:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;retriever@newfoundland.edu&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please feel free to copy it!<br /> *# Right, I shouldn't forget my chao chao<br /> <br /> [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:List More on bulleted lists and numbered lists.]<br /> <br /> When you start to edit this page, you will see the syntax I am using to create different effects.

Fewer equals signs means a bigger heading.<br /> <br /> For instance, the following wiki code<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> = Heading One =<br /> == Heading Two ==<br /> === Heading Three ===<br /> ==== Heading Four ====<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> would look like this:<br /> <br /> = Heading One =<br /> == Heading Two ==<br /> === Heading Three ===<br /> ==== Heading Four ====<br /> <br /> === Linking to a Page ===<br /> Linking to a page inside the wiki is easy: just type two square brackets, the name of the page, and then two square brackets. For instance, to link to a page called My Curriculum, type '''&lt;nowiki&gt;[[My Curriculum]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;'''.<br /> <br /> To link to a page outside of the wiki, use one square brackets, the URL, the text you want displayed, and then the ending bracket. For instance, to link to Google, type '''&lt;nowiki&gt;[http://google.com Google is convenient]&lt;/nowiki&gt;'''. This example would look like this: [http://google.com Google is convenient].<br /> <br /> === Creating a Page ===<br /> To create a page, just create a link as above to a page that doesn't exist yet. The first time you click on the link, you'll be able to start creating contents.<br /> <br /> === Bold, Italics, and Bullets, Oh my! ===<br /> To create something in bold, use three apostrophes, like &lt;nowiki&gt;'''this is bold.'''&lt;/nowiki&gt;. The previous example would look like this: '''this is bold.'''<br /> <br /> To create something in italics, use two apostrophes, like &lt;nowiki&gt;''this is italic''&lt;/nowiki&gt;. The previous example would look like this: ''this is italic''.<br /> <br /> To be both bold and italic, add the apostrophes together for a total of five apostrophes.<br /> <br /> Bulleted lists can automatically be created by adding an asterisk (*) in front of the text. For instance, wiki code that looks like this:<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> * Cats are nice<br /> * I also like dogs<br /> ** Poodles are my favorite<br /> ** I also like bichons<br /> * Aquariums are fun but take work<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> is displayed like this:<br /> <br /> * Cats are nice<br /> * I also like dogs<br /> ** Poodles are my favorite<br /> ** I also like bichons<br /> * Aquariums are fun but take work<br /> <br /> Numbered lists: use # instead of *<br /> <br /> To insert a line break inside of a bulleted item or numbered item, use &lt;pre&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;<br /> Do NOT press Enter inside your code for a single bulleted item. For example,<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> *My dogs (each with babies):<br /> *# Dachshund<br /> *# Leonberger<br /> *# Oh, here's my email address:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;retriever@newfoundland.edu&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please feel free to copy it!<br /> *# Right, I shouldn't forget my chao chao<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> is displayed as:<br /> <br /> *My dogs (each with babies):<br /> *# Dachshund<br /> *# Leonberger<br /> *# Oh, here's my email address:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;retriever@newfoundland.edu&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please feel free to copy it!<br /> *# Right, I shouldn't forget my chao chao<br /> <br /> [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:List More on bulleted lists and numbered lists.]</div> Yli16 https://wiki.cs.earlham.edu/index.php?title=Wiki_Manual&diff=17451 Wiki Manual 2019-09-08T02:59:25Z <p>Yli16: </p> <hr /> <div>==What is a Wiki?==<br /> <br /> Answer: different things to different people.
