How to use this wiki

So you want to make your mark on the wiki? Here's a few tips and things you should know.

"Wiki"s are primarily a way to document lots of information and break it up into individual "articles" like this one. For the makerspace, it helps keep all information that members might want to know like the progress of a project, who to contact for help with a certain machine or skill, what tools are available and where to find the manuals for them, as well as anything else that members like yourself deem useful communal knowledge.

To make a new article, type the title of it in the search bar. If the page doesn't already exist, it will ask you if you want to create a new one, at which point you click on the name and start one!

If you want to make an edit to an article, there should be text buttons below the blue bar up top that say page, discussion, edit. Click edit! Once in there you will see a large text box with a lot of formatting marks like equals signs = and ' apostrophes. These are how you make things like headers and bold text, and you can see more examples of that at the bottom of this page.

When making a new article or editing an old one, please keep in mind that it is publicly visible. Do not put up information that you would not like to be public like account information or passwords, or personal details not meant for a documentation site.

This wiki is using the MediaWiki platform. You can go to their website for more info.

You can create an account by clicking on "Log In" in the blue bar above and following the directions there.
