118Wiki:Community Portal: Difference between revisions

 

 

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.  

This is a lot easier than it sounds. Basically, navigational templates are little menus which help you find your way around a particular group of pages which share a common subject. For example, if you head [[Duronis Embassy|here]], and scroll to the very bottom of the page, you'll see an area on our wiki (information on the Embassy project) where I've implemented a navigational box.
