The for basic formating options visit www.mediawiki.org. For more advanced editing try searching for what you wish to do at meta.wikimedia.org.
Adding/Starting a page

If you replace ARTICLE with the name of the page you wish to create, you will be taken to a blank page which indicates that no article of that name exists yet. Clicking the "edit" at the top of the page will take you to the edit page for that article, where you can create the new page by typing your text, and clicking submit.
Making a Link
To create an internal link within the wiki put the name of the page inside a double bracket.
- Example: [[Interactive Communication]] becomes Interactive Communication
If you wish to change the text of the link add a "|" inside the brackets followed by the text.
- Example: [[Interactive Communication | The Interactive Communication Research Cluster]] becomes The Interactive Communication Research Cluster
For an external link use a single bracet with the url a space followed by the text.
- Example: [http://www.cmu.edu/ CMU Website] becomes CMU Website

Categories
On the bottom of most pages and what should be on the bottom of all pages is [[Category:Some Category]]. While this isn't strictly necessary it does help in the organization of the wiki. Currently there are 4 categories.
- Cluster [[Category:Cluster]]
- Project [[Category:Project]]
- Study [[Category:Study]]
- Glossary [[Category:Glossary]]
These catories can then be linked directly. For example http://www.learnlab.org/research/wiki/index.php/Category:Study or just [[:Category:Study|Study]] brings up all the studies in an aphabetical order. It should provide a quick overview of all studies, project, glossary items. Please include the category at the bottom of new pages to help with classification.
