How should FSGW use this wiki?
Strategy
- The main idea is to make it easier to find FSGW organizational and “how to” information
- The information itself doesn't all need to be in the wiki, but links to all the information should be in the wiki.
Mechanics
- Do not write longer documents in wiki markup - It's not meant for that, is bad for that.
- You can use a word processor and post a PDF here
- Use wiki markup to create the Index pages, and short information pages
- To add a new page:
- Choose a title and filename for your page
- The title is to inform humans what the page is about, can be fairly long if needed for clarity
- The filename should be short, say 40 characters max. It should express what the page is about, but briefly.
- Choose an index page that you think your page belongs under
- If you don't find a matching index page, then maybe this page needs a new index page. If so, create that new index page.
- Decide where in the index your link makes the most sense. Maybe rearrange the index if that would improve clarity.
- Edit the chosen index page to add a link to your page, like this: [[filename|title]]
- After you save your index page change, the new page link will display in red, because it has not been created.
- Click on the red link, which displays a page saying: “This topic does not exist yet” and “You've followed a link to a topic that doesn't exist yet. If permissions allow, you may create it by clicking on Create this page.”
- Click on the Create this page pencil icon with a plus (+) sign, the uppermost icon to the right of the main window
- An empty page editing window will be displayed
- On the first line, put the page title with 6 equal signs on each side: ======Page Title======
- I suggest saving your new page at this point, so it will now exist.
- Continue adding to your new page.
- Etc, etc…
