What, exactly, is a Wiki? Simply put, it's a website that can be edited by anyone. In our case, it is a website that can only be edited and viewed by members of this wiki. To edit any page of this wiki, simply click "edit this page" in the upper left hand corner, and then type in any text that you would like to add.

If you want to be more advanced, you can also add links. To add a link, click "edit this page", and then when the editor menu appears, click on the icon that looks like two magnets attached to each other. (When you move your mouse over it, a box appears that says "Insert Link.") When you click on that box, another box will appear. The top line asks you to choose either a"wiki link" or an "external link". A "wiki link" is a link to another page within your own wiki. An "external link" is a link to a webpage outside of your wiki. In this box, you will type the name you want the link to appear as. For example, in the link [|McDevitt Homepage], I chose "external link" and typed "McDevitt Homepage" in the text box. A wiki link is simply a link to another page within this wiki. For example, from this, the home page, I can add a link to the Links for all Subjects page by clicking the to "wiki link" and then choosing Links for all Subjects from the drop down menu.

You can also add new pages to this wiki. To add a new page, click on "new page" in the upper left hand corner under "Actions," and you will need to name your page (history, Language, English, Math, etc.). Click create, and it will take you to the text editor page. There, you can add text or links. When you are finished adding text, click "save" and you will see your page appear on the left hand column under the Navigation menu.
