How to create a webpage in Wiki

Q: 我知道大概做出来是什么样子，但是具体操作还是比较迷糊……

A: 你用ctrl + f （f 是 find 的意思）找一下你想建立新的网页的地方。比如你要建立一个叫做 “wiki admin”的网页，那你先login，然后课网页里按一下“edit”。这个edit在最上边。然后在editor里面先找一下“wiki admin”两个词。找到了以后前边和后边写两个标点符号，就像这个样子：[ [ wiki admin ] ] (这些空格不要写，我只在这里写空格因为否则它在这个faq里面就变成连接了。你要按“save”，然后输入“wikicaptcha”这个密码。然后你看得到课网页，现在你加了标点符号的地方变成红色的链接。红色的意思是这个链接后面还没有网页。蓝色链接的意思是已经有这种网页。

The main task for the Wiki admin is to prepare the section of the course website which concerns the following week's tasks.

That means the Wiki admin needs to be one week ahead of time, because all the other students wait for her.

So the first things to do would be to check if there is already a section on the website for the following week.

Normally the course websites are structured with headlines. We have different headlines which appear larger (level 1) and smaller (level 2, level 3 etc.). In order to create a headline and therefore mark the section of the webpage as a separate part, you can add a "=". For example, if you want to create a new weeks' section, you can simple add

"= Session no. 2, Feb 28, 2022, Topic: Ancient Literature = " (of course, you do not type the blank spaces and no quotation marks)

After saving, this new section exists.

And you need to list under this header all the contents of that session.

It is good to create some subsections, by listing some minor headlines beneath, for example:

"= Session no. 2 ="

"= = Homework of session no. 1 for session no. 2= ="

"= = Texts to read from the textbook to prepare for this session = ="

(Here you list this topics, student names and links to a new website (you remember, that is done by typing [ [ .... ] ]) to access the text the student created.

"= = = Newly created texts which are not yet in the textbook = = ="

"= = Student presentations = ="

(Here you list this topics, student names and links for the student presentations. A link not to a website, but to a file (for example a pptx file) looks like this: " [ [ Media:Ancient_Literature_by_Wang_Jianguo|This is the link to the ancient Literature powerpoint by Xiao Wang ] ]".

Please make sure that you leave a blank line between two lines, because paragraphs are shown in Wiki linked together, only if you add a blank line, Wiki will display it as two separated paragraphs. Also if you want to create a bullet list, simply type a "*" in front of the line for each bullet point. If you want to insert a picture, there are also editorial conventions. Please refer to the general website on how to edit in Wiki.

How to create a homework page

Please make sure that you have a consistent naming convention for the webpages in order to keep the overview. You can look at the samples from last years.

It is also important that you repeat all links on new webpages, meaning that you should add a link to return to the course homepage on top of all new webpages.
