Eigencluster: How to use a wiki

From OpenWetWare

Hi gang,

Thanks for helping to develop our Eigencluster wiki!

Here are a few quick thoughts to help orient you to our new wiki space:

• The wiki is essentially a set of linked pages that everyone can edit for ease of information sharing.

• Each of our Eigencluster pages has a name of the format:

Eigencluster: page_name

• To edit a page, click on the "edit" tab at the top of the page of interest. This will take you to a text box where you can edit the page.
• To link to an existing page (e.g. the Eigencluster hompage), just add the following text:

   [[Eigencluster: Homepage]] 

• To make a new page, simply make a link to your new page in an existing page. Page links look like this:

  [[Eigencluster: page_name_here]] 

• If you want to link to a page (e.g. Eigencluster: The Team) but have the link name look different than the page name (e.g. Team Members), you can write the following:

 [[Eigencluster: The Team| Team Members]] 

• To make a word bold, add three apostrophes on each side of the word, as shown here:

 '''something'''

• To make something italic, add two apostrophes on each side of the word, as shown here:

 ''something''

• To add an html link, use the following format:

[http://your.website.org Link_name] 

• To add an file (e.g. Schedule.doc) to a page (e.g. Eigencluster: Foo), do the following:
  • Click on the "upload file" link in the left hand toolbar
  • Follow instructions. Be sure to click on the public disclosure box.
  • In page Eigencluster: Foo, add the following code:

  [[Image: Schedule.doc]] 

With these few tricks, you should be able to do just about everything you'll need to do. For more information, try out the help link on the left navigation bar.
