Finding Help Information
Some guidance on searching for information beyond that provided in our Getting_Started_Editing_Wiki_Pages.
On our (PCUG) wiki's look at:
- the navigation Help page which contains a variety of useful links
- the Editing help page, which may be accessed via the link at the bottom when editing any wiki page
Otherswise, look at:
- Mediawiki Help guide contents which provides links to a large number of pages with more info
Printing Pages
To print a wiki page, first select the Printable version toolbox link to display a page formatted for printing. Then use your browser's Print command to print this page.
Page and Change History
To access the history of who has made changes to any wiki page, just select the History tab on the top of any page.
The What links here toolbox link displays a page with details of all other pages on this wiki that links to the current page.
The navigation Recent changes link displays a list of all recent changes to any of the wiki pages.
Special Pages
The SpecialPages link in the toolbox takes you to an index of a large number of special pages, that aure automatically created by the wiki system upon request, that provide a wide variety of information on the operation of the wiki, including:
- All Pages index
- Categories index
- List of Registered Users who have logged in to the wiki
and many others. Just explore to see!
Moving/Renaming Pages
Moving (renaming) a page means giving it another name, and is done by using the "move" tab. This renames the page, but also moves it's editing history, and leaves behind a redirect on the old page, so that links (which are not automatically changed) do not break.
See Mediawiki Help Moving a page, and Mediawiki Help Redirects.
Deleting Pages
Is not recommended as against wiki philosophy of sharing information. Rather, simply use the #Moving/Renaming Pages capability.
However, if there is a really good reason to delete a page, then one of the wiki sysops can do this. You need to contact the website committee to request this.
