WikiHelp

A wiki is a web site where users can edit web pages online. Text, wiki text, or html tags can be used to format the page. You can not use javascripts or other scripting languages in the wiki.

Getting Started

To start editing your wiki site,

  • You need 1) an account on the Comm Portal and 2) to be a member of the workspace to edit.
    Please ask the workspace admin listed on the Summary page of the workspace to add you (if appropriate).
  • Enter your email address in the Preferences page and leave the site email list checked if you wish to receive emails about editorial changes, otherwise uncheck that box. Rmember to click on the "Save" button.
  • Click on the the "Edit this Page" link in the menu on the left side or bottom of the wiki page and have fun!

Go to the CheatSheet to get help with formatting wiki text. If you use the preview button, be sure to page down, the preview is below the big text box.

There is a SandBox in the test workspace if you want to play around there. You do not need an account to edit on this page. I setup some examples there.
