Note: Creole and Nwiki have the same toolbar but slightly different syntax. See Creole format and Nwiki markup

Check "Force format" if you want to control the format your learners will use.

Other settings

See Common module settings, Restrict access and Activity completion. (Note that activity completion for a wiki is 'require view' only.) Wikis may be tagged and have competencies attached to them.
