This page will be used as a scrapbook for my OWW tutorials.

Tutorial 1: Adding and Using the Sandbox
Demonstrated through construction and use of this page.

Tutorial 2: Editing Tables
Please refer to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Table for information on how to prepare these tables. Each 'Activity' refers to one sub-heading within this tutorial.--Reuben Cutfield 01:43, 22 December 2010 (EST)

Activity 5: Setting cell widths
Usually the width is determined by the longest cell length (characters) however you can set the length which causes automatic wrapping of text.

Activity 8: Floating tables

Tutorial 5: Proper Page Naming Conventions
Please follow [|this] link to access the tutorial. Each subheading has been turned into an activity and published below:

Intro
The pages on OWW need to be organized so that accessing and indexing the documents is achieved systematically. Pages which are of general use are named following a certain convention whilst personal pages, lab pages and special pages for example follow other conventions. There are no restrictions on the way you name your page but it is etiquette to follow the guidelines provided by OWW so that the community constructs a better resource. The specificity of a page should be reflected in its name. Naming pages which are specific to yourself or your lab, for example, will instruct others to respect this and be mindful of their edits to the pages. Conversely pages can be named to encourage collaboration and editing by others. Naming conventions also serve to remove the likelihood of the overlapping/duplication of common names e.g. 'protocol'. Prefixes and namespaces followed by a colon are used to indicate a document to a particular category within the storage system which is already predefined and commonly used e.g. images: or OpenWetWare: Namespaces help track changes made to your documents as well. Users are encouraged to rename pages which have not been named following the guidelines. It is also advised that following renaming another persons page page that you leave a note on their talk page alerting them to this change. To rename a page you use the 'Move' button at the top of a document and type the new page name into the 'To new name' box whilst leaving a reason for doing so e.g. 'Following OWW conventions'.

Please refer to renaming pages for how to rename a page.

Please refer to changing a page name template for a simple template you can complete and post to their talk page.

Activity 1: General purpose pages
OWW automatically capitalizes the first letter of a page. Therefore all general purpose pages must be named beginning with a capital letter so that a page without a capitalized first letter isn't targeted to the capitalized version. Furthermore when searching for a page users don't have to duplicate their searches. The following words in the title, with the exception of acronyms such as 'PCR', must start with a lower case letter.

Pleas visit Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to see the proper convention being used. The page was named Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis and the move button was used to change it. Please also visit the talk page to see what I posted.
