Page History

...

• From the home page you can easily access the major branches of the project: Research, Automated Design Tool, and Outreach by clicking on Navigation Menu in the top left corner. Another important branch from the home page is Team Member Resources
  • What is a child page? Each successive branch of the tree is a child page of the branch above it. Design Calendar is a child page of Design, for instance.
• How do you find
  • Past research
    • Go to the Research to see all of the teams that currently exist and have existed in the past. A typical research page is Home>research>Chemical Dose Controller
  • Assignments Home>Team Member Resources>Assignments
    • Due dates are all on the syllabus
  • the sandbox
    • This one is trickier because you cannot navigate directly to it, you have to use the search field. The sandbox is not navigable because it is just a place to play--if you are not sure about how to do something, try the code in the sandbox first so you can test if it works without messing up your own wiki page.

  • Go to View on the top left of any wiki page.

• Creating a new page
  • Be sure you are on the page that you would like your new page to be a child page of.
  • Click on Edit in the top left corner
  • Go to New>Page
  • You can add a template for some pages. The "Global" templates aren't useful, but some of the ones labeled "Space" are.
  • Naming Pages: Do not name a page too generally. When you use a name, that can be the only time you use it on the wiki. Each team's calendar page is named "Design Calendar" "Outreach Calendar", etc., so that the word Calendar is not hogged by one time. Also the page name becomes part of its web address, so it is helpful to be descriptive.
  • When editing a page immediately set the default to Wiki Markup and not Rich Text (rich text seems easy but there are a lot of bugs in it and it is harder to keep our formatting consistent with it, wiki markup is easy to learn and it allows us to all use the same headings, bullets, etc)
  • The sidebar give you helpful hints for
    • Text Formatting
    • Headings
    • Lists
    • Tables
  • To create a link:
    • Wiki MarkupType the URL of the website and add brackets \ [\] around the outside.
    • If the page is on the wiki, you can just type the name of the page (Design Calendar, for instance) inside the brackets.
    • If you would like to have someone go to a link by clicking on word instead of a URL (For examples: Check out this awesome website! where clicking on website brings you to google), type a bracket, then the word, then a | then the URL, then the ending bracket.
  • You can move the location of a page by dragging it around on the tree at the bottom of the page while you are editing it.
  • To delete a page, go to Remove Page on the top right corner while editing it.
  • To edit a page that already exists, go to Edit on the top left>Edit this page...
