Wiki Guide

Welcome to the Wiki Guide page. For any questions not answered here or not available online, please reach out to the current Wiki Lead, Caleb Kopitsky.

General Guidelines

• If you make a new page, send a message in #sub_wiki letting people know.
• Remember this is meant to be long-term documentation, so your audience may be students years from now. Make sure it is understandable for people you do not and do not know you.
• Keep it professional. We want this to be easily searchable and not overly cluttered.
• When naming new pages, write out complete names without abbreviations and use underscores in places of spaces (Media Wiki will display underscores as a space). This will ensure pages are easily searchable.

General Tips

• This site uses the MediaWiki engine, which has very good online documentation. If you have a question, look it up first or ask Chat; if that doesn't work, feel free to reach out to the Wiki Lead (currently Caleb Kopitsky).
• To create a new page, either: search the desired name in the search bar, hit enter, and choose to create a new page; or create a new link with the new page name. To add a space to a page name, use an underscore. Make sure to send a message in #Sub_Wiki when making a new page.
• If you want to link to a specific heading within a wiki page, open "Edit source", find your link, and add a hashtag with the heading title. Ex: [[Page title#Heading Name|link's display]]
