Sources Basics we covered before External links Internal links and page creation Basic font modifications Captions Lists Uploading files and image insertion Comparing revisions User dashboard
Sources Tables Mediawiki can render tables Example: {|border=’1’ cellpadding=’10’ cellspacing=’0’ ! First cell in the header ! Second cell in the header row |- | First cell in the second row | Second cell in the second row |- | First cell in the third row | Second cell in the third row |}
Sources Categories Categories help to group pages Example: [[Category:My favorite sites]] A link to the category page which lists all the pages in that category is added. The description page of the category can be edited.
Sources Namespaces Namespaces group pages on a higher level There are some default names spaces that have prefixes like User:, File:, Talk: The main namespace does not have any prefix Namespaces can be added by modifying the configuration file
Sources Subpages Subpages offer a way to build hierarchies of pages Example: [[People/Scientists/Albert Einstein]] Per default this function is available in the User name space but has to be enabled for the main namespace
Sources Redirects Redirects make it possible to generate aliases of pages Example: The page “EMBL” of the English Wikipedia redirects the user to the page “European Molecular Biology Laboratory” #REDIRECT [[European Molecular Biology Laboratory]]
Sources ACL functionality is missing in Mediawiki Due to its open philosophy Mediawiki has only very limited user rights management capabilities It distinguishes between users, registered users, administrators, bureaucrat and bots This is why we use DokuWiki for the ACL demonstration You can search WikiMatrix for wiki engines with ACL
Sources Licenses for open content Open content = easy exchange, contribution to humankinds knowledge, transfer of prosperity Use e.g. Creative Commons licences / Public domain
