Editing tricks
- to link to another page on the wiki: [[double square brackets]] (case sensitive).
- To link to another internet site: single square brackets: [http://www.google.com]
- To redirect pages: #redirect[[page]]
- To redirect to a different page from the word on the page, use a pipe |. Thus [[jolly contrarian|coolest dude on the planet]] displays as “coolest dude on the planet” but takes you to the jolly contrarian page.
Formatting
Formatting is a bit odd, but you get used to it. and there's a toolbar. Which you can customize. There is formatting help on the toolbar.
Categories
Tagging a page with a category by adding a category tag: [[Category:name your category]]. You can also use templates (see below) to automatically tag and taxonomise pages.
For example, the tag {{isdaprov| }} adds the ISDA category, adds a suffix ( “- ISDA Provision”) and creates a hyperlink to that page.
Version control
Every edit is kept, attributed, time-stamped and you can run comparisons very quickly between versions.
- See the version history for this page here
- See a version comparison here: here. Ok, so it's not deltaview but it ain’t bad:
- So, you can have pictures by the way! ===>
Templates
The real power of mediawiki is the templates. As to which, see the template tester page
Automation capacity
Neat little tricks to automate and pre-load templates, like so:
- Create an ISDA master agreement page {{#createpage:| - ISDA Provision|create it!|Template:pageisda}}
- Create an equity derivatives page {{#createpage:| - Equity Derivatives Provision|create it!|Template:pageeqderiv}}
- Create a GMSLA page {{#createpage:| - GMSLA Provision|create it!|Template:pagegmsla}}
