The wiki home page displays when you access your community wikis.

 

The Browse Wikis panel displays the wiki community wikis. You can click on a wiki title to open the wiki. The icons to the left of each title indicate the user rating.

Outdoor Ed lists the most recently published wiki pages in the section below the Browse Wikis panel, along with filter settings:

 

  • All Pages - Lists all the wiki pages.
  • New Pages - Lists the wiki pages with the most recent at the top.
  • Updated Pages - Lists the wiki pages that have been revised.
  • Your Pages - Lists the pages that you have published.

The bottom of the page allows you to browse the wikis page by page.

 

The sidebar contains additional functionality, some of which will vary depending on the wiki theme. The example above displays two common widgets: Shortcuts and Tags.

 

Shortcuts provides you with access to wiki functionality, again dependent upon the user's administrative privileges. In the example above, the user can create a new wiki or access the wiki administration functionality on the Control Panel.

The tags list shows all the tags that are used by the wikis. Sometimes the list of tags grows larger than the space allotted on the sidebar. The user can click View More to view the entire list of tags.

 

Editing Pages & Locked Pages

To Edit an existing Wiki Page just click the Edit Tab and make your changes. The Outdoor Ed Wiki keeps track of previous versions as new edits are made. Some Wiki entries (like this instructional article) are locked and youi'll see a padlock icon next to the title that indicates that this page cannot be edited.
