How can I create a Wiki?

A wiki is a set of pages about one topic wich can be edited by anyone and you are encouraged to do so. Wikis are a great way to collaboratively collect knowledge on a certain topic, e.g. how to organise a cross-country workshop. To get you started, each group has a general wiki set up which you may edit, but you may also edit wiki pages contributed by other members.

In order to be able to edit or create a wiki on iConnect-Online, you must be logged in.
In order to create a wiki:
  1. After logging in, go to the group to which you want to contribute a wiki.
  2. In the “Create Content” menu on the right-hand side of the page, click on “Create Wiki page”.

  3. Think of a title and add one or several images if you like by uploading them from your computer.
  4. Now, you can enter the news text. Within your text, you may add pictures or embed other media (e.g. a video or slideshare).

  5. You can then specify tags and a location. This helps others to find your blog post more quickly when searching by keywords or location.
  6. You may also attach a file resource to your page.
  7. You may now select other groups (of which you must be a member) where you would like to publish your wiki additionally.
  8. Finally, click ‘review’ to view or save in order to publish your wiki within the selected groups
In order to contribute to an existing wiki:
  1. Find the wiki in the group's wiki section and click on its title.

  4. If you wish to create a new sub-page, click on the blue link 'add child page'
