Introduction to Wiki editing
OpenWetWare uses the MediaWiki system that may be familiar to you from Wikipedia.
First steps:
- Read the Wikipedia How to edit a page topic
- Glance at the Wikipedia Cheatsheet.
- Check out a more complete list of Wikipedia Markup Reference.
- A great way to learn new tricks is to click the edit button on existing OWW Wiki or on Wikipedia pages to see their formatting.
- When testing out Wiki code for the first time, you should edit the Sandbox topic. Feel free to write over whatever is already there.
Remember:
- It's not possible to make any mistakes editing that will cause permanent damage. So, be bold! At the very worst, your changes will be reverted to the previous version of a document.
- Your edits are immediately visible to the entire world. Be professional.
- DO NOT plagiarize or include copyrighted material (such as figures from scientific papers) in your edits.
