Tips for editors
This page is a repository of suggestions, tips and tricks for editors (i.e., all users!) of AIRWiki.
Tips for MediaWiki users
AIRWiki is based on the MediaWiki, MediaWiki is a free software wiki package written in PHP, originally developed for Wikipedia: its very interesting combination between usability and possibilities makes it a widely used tool. One of the benefits of this is the fact that once you have learned to work with AIRWiki, you have also acquired the ability to work with Wikipedia and all other MediaWiki-based wikis.
The main source for help and information about MediaWiki are the MediaWiki help pages. One of the most useful help pages is the one describing the basic formatting syntax in MediaWiki.
Tips for Semantic MediaWiki users
To help MediaWiki users to get to grips with SMW and Semantic Forms, we set up a tutorial page. (If you are not reasonably sure of how a wiki works, it's probably better if you practice that for a while before delving into SMW...)
Basic ideas behind AIRWiki
The following guidelines represent decisions about the structure of AIRWiki that have been taken. You should always comply with them when editing the AIRWiki.
- All reasonably static information about the AIRLab should be published in the AIRLab website. All information which need to be modified more frequently (say: at least twice a year) should instead be put into the AIRWiki. The AIRWiki also offers the possibility of building pages which are automatically updated.
- The AIRLab website should mention all the research areas active in AIRLab; but some of these could be absent from the AIRWiki.
- AIRWiki DOES NOT include a "Projects" page (where the projects of AIRLab are listed). Projects are listed in the pages of the relevant research area.
