• Several ways to create a new Wiki– Use the Create Wiki Box on Main Page– or follow a red link leading to a blank page– Or type a new name in the browser after „…title=„

• http://www.phusewiki.org/wiki/index.php?title=test will create a new Wiki called test

• Special Wiki language for edit– Edit tool provides help– =Section 1= creates a Level 1 header titled Section 1– ==Section 1.1== creates a Level 2 header titled Section 1.1– Guess what ===Section 1.1.1=== will do– # numbered list– * bullet point list– ‘‘xyz‘‘creates xyz, ‘‘‘xyz‘‘‘ creates xyz– ~~~~ creates a timestamp with your username

your SAS code here; </syntaxhighlight>

Create a Wiki - Templates

• Several templates make your life as a Wiki author easier- Template:Paper_Template is a template

which follows the usual template forPhUSE conference papers

Other templates: http://www.phusewiki.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:TemplatesIf you want to use templates do the following– Type {{subst:templatename}} in the blank editor (e.g. {{subst:Paper_Template}})– Save the Wiki and see that a Wiki is created by using the template– Edit the Wiki and just adjust it to your needs– There are also Create Boxes in the single stream sections which use this template automatically

- Template:MeetingMinutes is a template to create Meeting Minutes which is used forFDA CSC WG meetings

Create a Wiki - Categories

• Categorize your Wiki so that other can find it• Type „Category hierachy“ in Search box to find a list of proposals

which you could and should use• When you create a Wiki type [[Category:categoryname]] in your

editor– E.g. type „[[Category:Derivation Standards]]“

to categorize your Wiki for the Category„Derivation Standards“

• Wikis can have multiple Categories– E.g. Minutes for a „Data Warehouse“ Discussion Club in Budapest

should have the following categories• „PhUSE Budapest 2012“• „Data Warehouse“• „Discussion Club“• „Minutes“

– Ensures that readers find interesting articles under each category

Create a Wiki - Considerations

• As with all open Wikis all Edits on Wikis are tracked and you canalways go back to your original Wiki

• You can easily watch every page to be informed about updates• For some Wikis (e.g. Minutes, Conference Paper) you may want to protect your page– prevents edits by all other Wiki members– you need Admin rights to protect a page– only high contributer, WG leads or (Co-)Chairs receive Admin

rights– a PhUSE Wiki Bureaucrat to apply for Admin rights

– current PhUSE Wiki Bureaucrats:http://www.phusewiki.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=bureaucrat (and admin if applicable)
