+==Adding a wiki==
+*With the editing turned on, in the section you wish to add your wiki, click the "Add an activity or resource" link (or, if not present, the "Add an activity" drop down menu )and choose ''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).

+*The name you give to your wiki here will appear as the link on the course page for your students to click.
-== CamelCase notation ==
+===Wiki description===
-*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".
+*Explain the purpose of your wiki here. (This description may or may not be compulsory depending on your admin's settings.)
-*CamelCase notation allows pages to be linked, indexes created for catagories, and all sorts of other organizational tools to make connections.
+====Display description on course page====
-*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.
-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".
-==Choose an initial page==
+If this box is checked, then the description you added above will appear with the wiki link on the course page.
-This can be the first wiki page that is created, or a way to switch to a different front page.
