This is a brief introduction to some features we use on a Moodle documentation page for those who may not be familiar with a wiki.

Show page picture, circle and label elements.

Content area

This area should take up most of your screen and is on the right side.

  • Page sections - Pages are usually divided by sections and sometimes sub sections
  • Page index - A page index appears when there are more than 3 sections on a page. It can be turned off with the hide link. We have disabled the index on this page.
  • Template lists - Some pages will have a box that appears on the right, with a list of links to related subjects. Usually this box will appear on the new page.
  • Template images -There are a few standard visual images that are used. A common one indicates the Moodle version . Such as Moodle 1.8 which appears to the right. Template:Moodle 1.8
  • Help file paths -
  • Internal links - Most browsers show links to other pages in blue, broken links in red.
  • External links - External links look like this: Moodle.org
  • Category links - links to one or more indexes on a catagory can be found at the bottom in blue.
