How to edit my wiki

The MediaWiki software uses a simple to learn set of formatting rules. For example two equal signs (==) either side of some words on their own line makes them a level 2 headline. Three of them means a level three headline. Single set of square brackets indicates an external link, and two sets of square brackets indicates an internal link. Two single quotes either side of some letters converts them to Italic text, and three into Bold text.

You can get much more information from the MediaWiki User's Guide, and the MediaWiki FAQ.

Forget About IT™ wiki system

When we first install the MediaWiki software on your Forget about IT™ server was also install an initial framework for you to use as a company manual. Some or all of this can be deleted by you if you have a different use for the system, or find that some of the pages are irrelevant.

We also configure the software to use the same security database as the rest of the programs on the server, so all your users are automatically logged in. In order to allow them to be able to edit or administer the software, all we have to do to is to add them to the wiki_editor and wiki_admin groups.
