Creating+a+wiki

Steps to follow for crating Wiki
Usually the wiki request will come from project people for document sharing and sometimes we create to facilitate events like APM and any other big events.


 * 1. Create a wiki :** usually wiki name comes from requester and if it is an event we will create by even name (for name – usually consult the project people or event organizers)
 * Wiki type:**
 * Usually we use password protected wiki (viewing to be to all but modification limited to members only
 * Sometimes we create private wiki (viewing and also modifications are limited to members only)
 * We don’t use public type at all
 * 2. Appearance (look and feel)**
 * Use Theme: default with left navigation (we will come up standard theme)
 * Look and feel – you can chose any color from the look and feel navigation
 * 3. Once we are done with creating a wiki with basic setup**
 * We publish the link on ilri-comms wiki under “http://ilri-comms.wikispaces.com/ilriwikis”
 * 4. Send invitation to the requesters (to the project people / event organizers who is using the wiki)**
 * To invite users**
 * click on members
 * invite users
 * put on the email address, put a message and send
 * 5. Create pages** (Sometimes we are asked to assist on creating pages otherwise the requesters do it themselves)
 * Click on “pages and files”
 * Then click on “New page”
 * Give a page name and start working on page
 * 6. Creating menu** (some times people ask help on creating menu)
 * On the left side on the menu area you will see "edit navigation link"
 * click there (by default widget with page list appears) - delet that
 * and create menu manually and link them to the pages you have created
 * Type you menu text and on the top banner you will see "link" click there and link your pages
 * 7. Train / assist users and organizers of the wiki**
