Wiki Introduction

Our Wiki: [1]

A Wiki is a website that allows anyone to edit the pages contained within. By simply clicking "edit," on any page on our Wiki, you can use very simple "Wiki Code" to change and update the pages. This is a great collaborative tool because it allows everyone to take part in the editing and creation process.

Our Wiki is intended to be a repository of data about our group, and about Star Trek. One of the main purposes for our Wiki is to replace what you can find in the "Academy Library" area of our current website. When the new member's side of our website launches it will not include an "Academy Library," but will instead point to the Wiki's Academy area.

In doing this, the hope is that these files on Star Trek which people use for reference will become more accessible to everyone. And, anything that needs to be added or changed can have that done easily.

Of course, the Wiki is also used for other purposes as well. For example, much of the information about the Embassy project is being house on the Wiki. It works well as a place where you can drop data and information so that others can access it easily.

If you have any questions about the Wiki, feel free to ask them here.

Move Academy Files to the Wiki

As mentioned elsewhere in this forum, we're planning on moving everything that's in the Academy Library into the Wiki. This simply entails heading to the Academy Library ([2]), and copying/pasting the articles there into the Academy Library area of the Wiki (here).

If you need help figuring out how to best use the editing tools of the Wiki, you'll want to head to Wikipedia's help area, here. Wikipedia is the best example of a Wiki on the internet today, and we use the same software they do. So, anything you learn to do on Wikipedia, you can do on our Wiki.
