Wiki development: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:22, 22 September 2014

Guidelines for this wiki:

The official wiki pages should be complete and fully functional at all times (i.e., clean of stubs, broken links, etc). If your edits are too comprehensive to be done in a single session then please do your edits first on a development page (this one has "- beta" in its name, create it if it does not exist) and then copy and paste to the official page once the content is complete.
Do not delete any content from other people without consulting them. The wiki has a discussion feature which can be used for this purpose.

Examples for model wikis:

Examples for model homepages:

Tips for wiki-development:

Creating a new page: Put the title of the new page in the search field. If the field does not exist you will get the option to create it.
Deleting and renaming pages: Next to the search field at the top of the page is a downward pointing arrow. If you move the mouse pointer over the arrow a scroll menu will appear with the options to delete or move (i.e., rename) the wiki page. If you move a page, you will have the option set up a re-direct from the old page name (this option is activated by default). Please deactivate the re-direct option if the re-direct is not needed (e.g., if you have created a new page and you want to rename it shortly after, i.e. before anyone knows of its existence)
Formatting: Use two times ' around italic text and three times ' around bold text.
Lists: Start the line with * in the first column, followed by a single space and then the text to be listed.
Creating sections and subsections: Use == around the title of top-level sections and === etc. around the title of subsections.
Internal link to a page: To link to another page use double [ ] around the name of the page. Optionally, you can specify an alternative link title by adding | followed by the alternative text.
Internal link to a section: As above, but after the page name add # followed by the name of the section. For example
```
 [[NorCPM User Manual - beta#Running the model|Instructions for running NorCPM]]
```
External link: To link to an external page use single [ ] around the URL of the external page. Optionally, you can specify an alternative link title by adding | followed by the alternative text. For example
```
[https://wiki.met.no/noresm/start NorESM wiki|NorESM wiki]
```
Comments: To comment (i.e., hide) text use
```

```
