How To Use This Wiki

About This Page
This page will help you with using this Rebel Wisdom Wiki. It will help you understand what a Wiki is, how to find information and navigate the Wiki and how to contribute to it.

What Is A Wiki
A wiki is defined on WikiPedia as:-

"a hypertext publication collaboratively edited and managed by its own audience directly using a web browser"

A wiki is really a kind of website where anyone can create and edit the bits of the website. You can create new pages on this site without getting permission from anyone and without even logging in. You can edit any page without logging in (apart from the front page). If you create a log in (which only requires enter a username, an email address and a password) then you can even edit the front page.

At first that sounds a bit crazy, but a Wiki is designed so that there are lots of ways of managing the situation to stop it getting out of control. You can lock down specific pages, easily revert pages to any point in time, block certain computers/users, assign editors to various areas of the Wiki who can approve content before publication. WikiPedia is the best example of this.

This Rebel Wisdom Wiki runs using the same powerful Wiki engine software as WikiPedia which is called MediaWiki.

Last point: A wiki can be also used as a powerful tool to allow collaboration between groups of people by allowing them to document what they are doing, their interactions, their ideas etc - a bit like people use a shared Google Doc to collaborate, but more powerful due to the structured nature of a website. This Rebel Wisdom wiki can be used for both purposes: as a structured knowledge base created and edited by the community and as a powerful tool for collaboration between members of the community (e.g. those doing Sensemaking in Pods/Crews).

Navigating The Wiki And Searching
The home page of the Wiki is at https://rebelwisdom.miraheze.org/ which takes you to the Main Page

From there you can click on any of the links on the page to dig further into areas you are interested in.

Links for Pages That Exist Show Up In Blue. Links That Are Red Don't Go Anywhere and are really just invitations for you (or someone else) to create that page. If you click them you are invited to create the page, or go back if you don't want to create it.
