WikiIntro

This site is a wiki, which means that you can edit its pages and create new pages right from your browser.

Navigation: Page titles are WikiWords (mixed-case words with at least two capitals). Every WikiWord in text is a link to a page with that title.

Browsing: You can browse all pages and recent changes.

Searching: The search box in the upper left combines search results from wiki titles, wiki content, documentation, FAQ, and known bugs. Or click on the page title to search for that title.

Editing a page: Just click the Edit link to the left, and follow the WikiFormattingRules. Please use the SandBox for experimentation.

You can also Edit as File to download and edit the page in your favorite editor.

Creating a new page: Click the Create New Page under the Wiki menu to the left. chat chat

Why aren't certain pages editable?

Pages that haven't been wiki-fied include:

* Those that implement wiki functions themselves.
* Those that contain dynamic content, such as To-do List and Known Bugs.
* Those that are taken straight from the Mason distribution, such as Changes, Credits and Documentation.

Where can I find out more about wikis in general?

There is a vast collection of wisdom about wikis at the WikiWikiWeb, e.g. try NewUserPages. Note that the traditional TextFormattingRules you'll see on WikiWikiWeb are different than the WikiFormattingRules used on our site, but otherwise most of the guidelines should apply. |
