Overview

  • The purpose of this page is to provide an example for some things you can do with the wiki.
  • Bullet point are easy to create using the * symbol.
  • Click “Edit” at the top of this page to see the syntax used to create this page.
    • When editing, click “Preview” at the bottom of the page and a window will appear at the top of the screen showing a “Draft” of how the page will appear when changes are submitted.
    • To save the changes made during an edit, click “Submit” at the bottom of the page.

How to Upload a File

1) Click “edit” on the wiki page.

2) Upload the file in the box on the right. When the file appears (e.g. examplefile.pdf), link it in the wiki page using the File macro: 

[[File(examplefile.pdf)]]

This will appear in the wiki page as: examplefile.pdf.

Add an Image

Add an image to the site in a similar manner. Simply upload the image (e.g. globalhub.jpg) in the box on the right, then use the Image macro with optional view size and hyper link: 

[[Image(globalhub.jpg)]] or
[[Image(globalhub.jpg, 500px, align=center, link=http://globalhub.org)]]

The picture or image will appear in the page as:
globalhub.jpg

Add links to the Web and to internal HUB resources

  • You can include external links to websites as a reference to your sources.
    • This is an example for a weblink GlobalHUB homepage, created using the following line: [https://globalhub.org GlobalHUB homepage].
  • You can also link to GlobalHUB internal resources by just knowing their Resource ID (from the URL), then using any of the following formats: 
[https://globalhub.org/resources/12345]
[/resources/12345]
[[Resource(12345)]]

Wiki page Generation

  • To create a new wiki page, use the New Page link on the top right of any wiki page.
  • Alternatively, type the name of the new page in square brackets [myPage My Page], and give the link a title, in this example we used “My Page”. A link will be added when changes are submitted.
    • To create the new page, click the link. A message will appear stating “This page does not exist. Would you like to create it?”
    • Click “create it” and the new page will be created.
  • The square brackets can be also added by clicking the “Internal Link” button displayed in the formatting tools just above the edit screen when in the “Edit” mode.

Project Info

  • Maybe you want to include information about your project. You could use bullet points or create a table to provide a nice overview.

Task List

The wiki can be used to record task lists and due dates. The team could make a table, for instance:

Task Team Member Due Date Status
Create project schedule John 01/30/2009 In progress
Next task Jim 02/02/2009 Not started
Task 3 Joe 02/10/2009 Not started

Meeting Notes

Here you could potentially create a separate link for each page, or create a new wiki page dedicated only to meeting notes.

Project Phase 1

  • Notes – January 20, 2009
  • Notes – January 25, 2009

Hopefully this provides some initial ideas for how to use the wiki for your project.
