Navigating the Wiki

 

• Folders to all the specific islands are found on the right hand side
• There is also the Sidebar, which has links to Creative Commons site, the portal, this reference page, and other links you may need.
• To go back to the main page, click on FrontPage at the top of the right hand side.
• You may ONLY edit the content of your specific island's folder.

 

 

Editing the Wiki

 

To start:

• When you click on the folder for your island, you will see a list of pages. Click on the page you want to view/edit.
• Once you're at this page, at the top you will see the title and then two tabs: "view" and "edit"
• Click on "edit" to edit the content

 

Editing the content:

• In edit mode, you will see a toolbar very similar to Word. You can change fonts, color, bold, add bulleted or numbered lists, or insert links and tables.
• The content you need to edit will always be in brackets: [edit this]
• You must remember to enter your section's number before you begin editing
• Only ONE PERSON should be editing the page at one time, so split your work wisely
• One person SHOULD NOT be doing all the editing. I will be looking to see that EVERY member contributed to the wiki.

 

Uploading a file:

 

• On the right hand side you will see a list of wiki pages.
• Next to it there is a tab called "images and files"
• Click on this tab and then click browse to upload your file
• After it has uploaded and appeared on the list, click the link to your file in order to add it to the page.
