<p><b>New page</b></p><div>As we learn MediaWiki, we will add content to this page. Feel free to add new info, as well as reformat and refactor this page.<br />
<br />
== Adding a new page ==<br />
* To add a new page from a link, click on a link that hasn't been defined. This will take you to the edit and allow you to create that page.<br />
* To add a new page without using a link, put the page name into the search box and click "Go". This will give you the opportunity to create the new page.<br />
<br />
== Signing a Comment ==<br />
Under PhpWiki, we habitually signed our comments by manually writing --UserName. However, MediaWiki provides several shortcuts for this process. <br />
<br />
*<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> will produce your username and a Date/time stamp. Eg. [[User:KenSchry|KenSchry]] 11:54, 4 July 2006 (EDT)<br />
*<nowiki>~~~</nowiki> will produce your username. Eg. [[User:KenSchry|KenSchry]]<br />
*<nowiki>~~~~~</nowiki> will produce a Date/time stamp. Eg. 11:54, 4 July 2006 (EDT)<br />
*Pressing the "Your signature with Timestamp" button above the edit field will produce <nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki> automatically.<br />
<br />
== Watch page ==<br />
If you are particularly interested in a page, click on the watch tab. You will then be told when someone else has made changes. Useful for those intense debates, or keeping an eye on a page that has been targeted by "Wiki Vandals".<br />
<br />
== Adding a Calendar ==<br />
To implement a calendar, you only need to type <nowiki><calendar></calendar></nowiki>. However, there are several parameters that give you added functionality . Please see the [http://krass.com/software/wikicalendar.README README] for these parameters.<br />
<br />
Example:<br><br />
<nowiki><br />
<calendar></nowiki><br><br />
<nowiki>name=JokeOfTheDay</nowiki><br><br />
<nowiki>view=month</nowiki><br><br />
<nowiki></calendar></nowiki><br><br />
<br />
<br />
Would result in:<br />
<br />
<calendar><br />
name=JokeOfTheDay<br />
view=month<br />
</calendar><br />
==Task Management==<br />
The tags to implement a task are <nowiki><tasks>...</tasks></nowiki>.<br />
<br />
This is the format for the different priorities of tasks.<br><br />
[ ] Regular task.<br><br />
[1] High priority task.<br><br />
[2] Medium priority task.<br><br />
[3] Low priority task.<br><br />
[!] Urgent task.<br><br />
[x] Closed task.<br><br />
<br />
To identify who created the task, write (OwnerUsername) at the end of the task. Please note that this now means that you cannot put a period at the end of the task.<br />
<br />
For example, to create a high priority task of formatting pages and identify it with a username, you would type:<br><br />
<pre><tasks><br />
[1] Need to format pages that were damaged in the PhpWiki conversion (KenSchry)<br />
</tasks></pre><br />
<br />
Which would result in:<br><br />
<tasks><br />
[1] Need to format pages that were damaged in the PhpWiki conversion (KenSchry)<br />
</tasks><br />
<br />
Tasks can be viewed on the [[Special:Tasks]] page and are grouped by priority.<br />
