Main | Usage Instructions

Introduction

Wikis have a very open structure. By default, anyone can edit pages by simply clicking the edit this page link. However, all edits are stored in a version history for the page, which can be found by clicking page history.

Instructions for Use

Logging On

The JISD Wiki is publicly viewable but only JISD employees may edit the content. Therefore, users must Log on before they can make any changes. Here is how:

• MyJISD - Log on through the MyJISD District Portal. 
• Resources > JISD Wiki.
• That's it! You are automatically logged on!

Otherwise, click Login in the sidebar and use your district credentials.

Changing an existing entry

 When you see a page that needes editing and you would like to contribute to it, Click  "Edit this page" in the sidebar. You will get a toolbar like the one below over a window where the content of the page (if any exists) is displayed. Add or edit content using this window.

Below the editing window are 3 blanks:

• Summary - leave a short note about what changes you are making
• Roles for Editing - limits who can edit the page content:
  
  • user (default) - any employee can edit.
  • admin - only 'administrators' can edit; admins are designated by the District Webmaster.
  • sysop - only the 'system operator' can edit; this is a very small number of individuals
•  Roles for Viewing - limits who can see the page (same roles as above)

NOTE: Leave the items blank to use the default.

Create a new page

Creating a new page in the wiki is not tough but should only be done when needed. Contact the District Webmaster if you have questions.

• Start by editing an existing page where you want a link to the new page.
• Type the name of the new page inside double brackets like this:
   

  	JISD Wiki
  	Our Great Wiki

• Save the current page and click on the new link - the new page is created automatically.
