===Print wiki name of every page===
If this box is checked, then the description you added above will appear with the wiki link on the course page.
If you select this option, the top of each page will have the name of the wiki.


===HTML mode===
[[File:wikisettings.png]]
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]] to display in [[Common_acronyms#N_to_Z|WYSIWYG]].


===Allow binary files===
===First page name===
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.  
*The name you add here will form the first page of your new wiki. It is a required field and once  a name has been entered,it can't be changed.


===Wiki auto-linking options===
===Wiki mode===
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.
*Choose between "Individual wiki" where each student gets their own, or "Collaborative wiki" where students work together on a single wiki.


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


===Student admin options===
===Force format===
When students can edit a page, you can allow them certain administrative privileges in the wiki (see [[Wiki administration]]).
If you check this box then students cannot choose their own method of editing the wiki.


===Page name===
===Common module settings===
You may wish to seed the wiki with a page name for the first page.
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_settings|Restrict access]] area becomes visible in Moodle activities and resource settings if [[Conditional_activities|Conditional Activities]] have been enabled.  


===Choose an initial page===
==Locally assigned roles==
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==
In ''Settings > Wiki administration > Locally assigned roles'' selected users can be given additional roles in the activity.

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.
