==Adding a wiki==
To add a wiki:
[[Image:Wiki settting screen.JPG|thumb|Adding a new wiki in Moodle 1.7]]
#As an editing teacher for a course, click "Turn Editing On", and go to the section in which you want to add the wiki.
To create a wiki:
#From the dropdown menu labeled "Add an activity", select "Wiki". This will take you to the wiki settings page titled "Adding a new wiki".  
#Click the "Turn editing on" button.
#Select Wiki from the "Add an activity" dropdown menu in the course section where you would like to add the wiki.
#On the Adding a new wiki page, give the wiki a descriptive name.
#In the summary field, describe the purpose of the wiki and what you expect students to contribute.
#Select the wiki type - groups, student or teacher. The wiki type interacts with the groups setting for your course, resulting in 9 options, as shown in the type help pop-up.
#Click the "Show Advanced" button (in Moodle 1.8 onwards) to display additional options (see below).
#Select the common module settings (see below).
#Click the "Save changes" button.


==Advanced options==
In an existing wiki, the wiki settings can be found in ''Settings > Wiki administration > Edit settings''.


===Print wiki name of every page===
If you select this option, the top of each page will have the name of the wiki.


===HTML mode===
==Wiki administration settings==
There are three options: No HTML, safe HTML or HTML only. No HTML will display all HTML tags as tags. Safe HTML will allow certain tags to be displayed. HTML only enables the HTML editor.


===Allow binary files===
''Please add descriptions...'''
Binary files are graphics, audio, video, and other non-text resources. If you want students to be able to add files as attachments, set this to Yes.  


===Wiki auto-linking options===
===Common module settings===
A new page can be created in the wiki by typing a word using CamelCase i.e. with a capital letter at the beginning and a capital letter somewhere else in the word. It's called CamelCase because the two capital letters resemble a two-humped camel. CamelCase combines all the words for the link into one word. Each word in the link is capitalized. When a word is added in CamelCase, the wiki automatically creates a new page and makes the word a link. You can disable this feature if you wish, so that typing a word enclosed in square brackets is the only way of creating a new page.
The [[Common module settings]] section appears in many modules besides wiki. It sets [[Groups]] interactions levels and the ID number.


CamelCase is not always desirable, as some text is writen in it. For example a file name might be MyFile_2007_Feb.jpg.
==Locally assigned roles==


===Student admin options===
In ''Settings > Wiki administration > Locally assigned roles'' selected users can be given additional roles in the activity.
When students can edit a page, you can allow them certain administrative privileges in the wiki (see [[Wiki administration]]).


===Page name===
==Wiki permissions==
You may wish to seed the wiki with a page name for the first page.


===Choose an initial page===
Role permissions for the activity can be changed in ''Settings > Wiki administration > Permissions''.
This can be the first wiki page that is created, or a way to switch to a different front page. Other files in the same directory as the first wiki page you select will also become part of the initial wiki - see:
http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=8501
 
==Common module settings==
 
===Group mode===
Another location to set the group mode for the activity. If group mode is forced in the course settings then this setting will be ignored.
 
===Visible===
This determines whether students may view the activity or not.
