Using the wiki activity

Using a wiki

Once you have created your wiki you can then view, edit, and manage the content within it. When you open a wiki you will notice a number of tabs:

• View: To view the current page
• Edit: To edit the current page
• Comments: To leave comments on the current page
• History: To see changes and compare versions of the current page
• Map: To navigate between pages
• Files: To manage files in the wiki
• Administration: To manage pages

To start editing simply open the wiki and then click the Edit tab and start adding content in the editor. You can add text, images, and multimedia content.

Viewing the wiki

You can only view the wiki one page at a time, so whichever page is selected will be the one that is displayed under the View, Edit, Comment, History, Map, and Administration tabs. You can navigate between pages using either the Map or Administration tabs.

The Map tab shows lists of pages based off various criteria including (but not limited to):

• Contributions: Pages you have edited
• Links: To and from the current page
• Page list: An alphabetical list of all pages

The Administration tab allows you to delete () and edit () pages. By default the current page will be displayed but by clicking List all you can display all pages to make changes to them or navigate to them by clicking on them. You can also delete page versions to revert to an older version of the page. 

If you wish to compare versions of a page then this can be done via the History tab. 

Comments

The Comments tab is used to make comments on the current page. This can be a useful place to discuss any required actions, allocate work, and leave feedback.

1. Go to the Comments tab. 
2. Click Add comment. 
3. Type your comment.
4. Click Save changes.

Once you have added a new comment you can also edit () or delete it () under the Comments tab.

Files

The Files tab allows you to upload, edit, and delete files associated with the wiki. Files can be uploaded directly here or within a page but they are all managed here. 

1. Within the Files tab click Edit wiki files. 
2. Here you can do one or more of the following:
   • Click the add file button () to add a new file.
   • Click the download button () to download all files.
   • Click on a file to edit, download, or delete it.
3. Once you are done click Save changes.
