Once you are logged in, return to the FrontPage (on the test wiki site) and select this page Testing for testing. Then click Edit to get the edit screen. If someone else is editing it right now, just enter a page name like Testing1, Testing2 etc. in the page url - this will give you a new page for testing. This user really exists and can therefore be used in the test wiki to gain experience.

Beginner's Introduction

This is a beginner's guide to editing wiki pages.

It will be helpful to open up several browser windows when first experimenting with the wiki.

Wiki Markup

In a browser window, navigate to the page [WWW] http://aplteam2.com/testwiki/, then select menu item "Show Raw Text" from the combo box menu to see the source text. Lines beginning ## are comments, lines beginning with a single # are instructions (none are needed for most pages), and the rest is wiki markup.

Note the line #acl Admins:read,write,delete,revert,admin All:read at the top. This specifies access control, and indicates that admins hold all rights while anybody else has read-only access to this page. The FrontPage! as well as the three "Example" pages are not editable by ordinary users, while the TestPages are. This is to ensure a working starting point for the test wiki.

For a more complex example, navigate to ExampleNumber. The route from the front page is http://aplteam2.com/testwiki/moin.cgi/ExampleNumber1. Again, select menu item "Show Raw Text" to see the text.

Useful Pages

In another browser window, navigate to the wiki front page http://aplwiki.aplteam.com/ and then click at "About". Take a look at each of the main links on this page, and especially note that you need to login to edit the wiki, and read the editing guidelines and policy on attachments.

It will be helpful to bring up the Syntax Reference in another browser window.

Experiment

Now that you have some idea of the wiki markup, it is time to try editing a page. You can do this by opening the test wiki site, at http://aplteam2.com/testwiki/ in another browser window. Select Login, and either create a new user identity, or use the existing one:

Name

TestUser

Password

TestUser

This user really exists and can therefore be used in the test wiki to gain experience.

Once you are logged in, return to the FrontPage (on the test wiki site) and select the TestPage for testing. Then click Edit to get the edit screen. If someone else is editing it right now, just enter a page name like Testing1, Testing2 etc. in the page url - this will give you a new page for testing.

Make any changes you like, and click the Preview button towards the bottom of the screen. Next enter any comments in the Optional comment edit box, and click Save Changes. Your changes are now saved in the wiki.

Creating a New Page

Edit the TestPage again, and enter a new page link, as a line of the form below. Don't use MyNewPage, but instead make up your own new page name:

  • [:Testing/MyNewPage:This is my new page]

Save Changes as before and click on the link. This gives another page with a link Create new empty page. Click this and your new page is created.

Next Steps

You should now be ready to edit pages on the APL wiki. See EditingGuidelines for more details. If you need further help, email to [MAILTO]kai@aplteam.com
