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
