Introduction

The MB Wiki is using the Tweeki Skin for MediaWiki. The official documentation for Tweeki is located here. The current quick guide to the MBWiki will show users unfamilar with the MediaWiki & Tweeki technology (html, css, javscript, etc.,) how to make the most common changes to the appearance and structure of the site, and how to create and modify content.

Change content

Create an entry

Type the name of the page you wanna create after the last forward slash in the MBWiki base url,

https://www2.hu-berlin.de/ef-dg/mbwiki/MY NEW PAGE

If the page doesn't yet exist, you'll get an option to create the page.

Edit / modify an entry

Navigate to the page, and click the Edit button.

The Edit text box may look pretty weak, but you can use most of the CSS syntax of Bootstrap to change the appearance of the content. Take a look around the MBWiki. If you're lucky, you can just copy and paste the Syntax.

User Preferences

By default, advanced editing features are turned off for all users. To change this, go to your Profile preferences > Editing > and check > Enable enhanced editing toolbar.

Discussion tab

Please use the Discussion in the Navigation bar on any page to talk about the page. MediaWiki has some good advice about how to use a Discussion entry for a specific page here. The most important thing to remember is that the Discussion / Talk page for an entry should be used to talk about the content & structure of the entry.

Change structure

Navigation bar

Add to the navigation bar:

Edit this page

Please note the syntax for the navigation bar: commas separate items, * mark items in a drop down column.

You can get the full scoop on Navigation from Tweeki here.

The navigation bar should not be overloaded.
