Wiki settings
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.
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).
CamelCase notation
- What is a CamelCase notation? Your very first CamelCase notation you will create will look like: [Create wiki page]. 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".
- CamelCase notation allows pages to be linked, indexes created for catagories, and all sorts of other organizational tools to make connections.
- 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
This can be the first wiki page that is created, or a way to switch to a different front page.
