Adding a wiki page

There are several ways to add a new wiki page. In later versions of Moodle, the course participant's privilages can effect adding or editing wiki pages.

Add a wiki activity

When the teacher selects Wiki from the Add an Activity pull down menus in a course, they will be asked to create the first page.

Add by using search

Any participant (with correct privilages) of an existing wiki can enter the name of the page they would like to create in the Search box on a wiki page. For example they might enter the name "Roses".

If the page already exists

they will be taken to the page "Roses"

If the page does not exist, they will see:

There is no page titled "Roses"

They can create this page by clicking on the "create this page" link

and begin editing the new page called "Roses"

From a wiki page

Participants in a wiki can also create a new wiki page by editing an existing page and adding a wiki link to the page they want to create - e.g. [[Roses]]- using brackets.

After either selecting Save page or Show preview', the participant will then see a clickable link to "Roses"; they or someone else can click on it and begin to edit that page.

Editing a wiki

Editing a wiki is simple.

Click on the edit tag at the top of the wiki page
Edit the text
Use wiki tags for formatting and creating links that are needed
Then save the page, or preview the page before saving
