How to Quickly Wiki with PBWiki

 

!!1. How to Quickly Wiki with PBWiki

1. Logging In To Edit

2. Creating a Wiki Page

3. Entering Content

4. Listing Your Page on the Sidebar

 

 

 

This overview is meant to give you enough information on how to set up your own wiki page in this site to take notes and publish them on the site.

 

Logging In To Edit

 

The PBwiki site that hosts this allowed us to create a web site that anyone in the internet can view, but to have access to the editing tools, you must provide a password. From any of the wiki pages you can click the Log In To Edit button. You can then enter your name (this is how page changes will be credited, you can simply use your first name and last initial), an e-mail if you want to be notified when the site is changed, and the special password (this will be provided at the workshop).

 

Once logged in, the Edit This Page button is enabled on the site.

 

Creating a Wiki Page

 

A wiki page or URl can be created in several ways, but they are always named by pushing together two capitalized words (look at the URL for this page-- it ends in HowTo), what is called a Wiki Word. If you use a wiki word on any page, it automatically becomes a link to that URL, as shown in the next paragraph.

 

For this workshop, you want to create a wiki page for yourself and/or for you and the person you are sharing the computer with. For example, AlanLevine is a wiki word, that leads to Alan's sample page. Or if Tom and I were working together, we might do TomAlan. A wiki word that appears in red and underlined is a page that does not yet exist.
