Adding a wiki

As an editing teacher for a course, click "Turn Editing On", and go to the section in which you want to add the 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".

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

Wiki administration settings

Wiki name

The name you give to your wiki here will appear as the link on the course page for your students to click.

MSG EVENT

Wiki description

Explain the purpose of your wiki here. (This description may or may not be compulsory depending on your admin's settings.)

Display description on course page

New feature
in Moodle 2.2! If this box is checked, then the description you added above will appear with the wiki link on the course page.

First page name

The name you add here will form the first page of your new wiki.

Note: If you don't change the default wording "First page name", then the first page of your wiki will be called "First page name" (which is a bit silly!) There are tracker issues relating to leaving the first page name field blank MDL-32797 and allowing it to be changed later: MDL-6488

Wiki mode

Choose between "Individual wiki" where each student gets their own, or "Collaborative wiki" where students work together on a single wiki.

Default format

Set the default type of editing your wiki will use. Chooose from
- HTML - editing using the normal text editor
- Creole - a popular wiki editing language. If this is selected, a small editing toolbar will appear.

- NWiki - a wiki editing language used in the contributed NWiki module.

Force format

If you check this box then students cannot choose their own method of editing the wiki.

Common module settings

The Common module settings section appears in many modules besides wiki. It sets Groups interactions levels and the ID number.

Restrict access settings

The Restrict access area becomes visible in Moodle activities and resource settings if Conditional Activities have been enabled.

Locally assigned roles

In Settings > Wiki administration > Locally assigned roles selected users can be given additional roles in the activity.

Wiki permissions

Role permissions for the activity can be changed in Settings > Wiki administration > Permissions.

+==Adding a wiki==
+*As an editing teacher for a course, click "Turn Editing On", and go to the section in which you want to add the 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".
-The 1.5 Moodle has the "Type" (group, teacher, student) setting in the wiki settings.  The  "Group Mode" setting (No group, seperate groups and visible groups) is a course setting.  The 9 combinations of group and type settings determine what an individual student can see or edit.
+*In an existing wiki, the wiki settings can be found in ''Settings > Wiki administration > Edit settings''.
-The 1.8 Moodle will have both setting Type (group, teacher, student) and an additional setting called Group Mode (No group, seperate groups and visible groups).
-== CamelCase notation ==
+==Wiki administration settings==
-*What is a CamelCase notation?  Your very first CamelCase notation you will create will look like: <nowiki>[Create wiki page]</nowiki>. Anything inside the square brackets is the page name. When this is placed on the first wiki page, a "?" that is a link appears. Clicking on the link in this example will take us to a new blank page called "Create wiki page".
+===Wiki name===
-*CamelCase notation allows pages to be linked, indexes created for catagories, and all sorts of other organizational tools to make connections.
+*The name you give to your wiki here will appear as the link on the course page for your students to click.
-*CamelCase describes what WikiWords look like. Multiple words, joined together without spaces, separated by changes in case. The uppercase and lowercase letters show up like the humps of camels.  This linking scheme is often also called BumpyText because it could look like CaMeL_CaSe.
+MSG EVENT
-In return you will get in trouble, if you need to have words displayed in CamelCase in your text. Moodle will automatically turn those words into anchors with a link pointing to a new site. You may turn off this CamelCase functionality in the menu “Editing Wiki” by checking the "CamelCase" box under "Wiki auto-linking options".
