General Information

Consult the MediaWiki User's Guide and [1] for information on using the wiki software.

In particular, you may wish to familiarise yourself with how to:

  • edit an existing page and/or create a new one
  • create a link to another page or a sub-item, possibly with an alternative description
  • force the creation of a table of contents (where there are < 3 headings) or change its location
  • create tables, including sortable ones
  • add an image
  • name pages appropriately (and avoiding characters such as "&" which result in non-user-friendly URLs)
  • modify the side bar

Viewing existing pages in edit mode can also help facilitate learning by example.
