Create a new page
Search
Search for a term to create a new page (enter term in search field). The search result will give the option to create a page with that title, if the term dosn't exist in the wiki.
"Dead" Link
A page can be created by clicking on a link that doesn't link to an existing page (the link is shown in red then). It is common practice to associate certain keywords with a "dead" link, when a text is written. This might encourage others to create a new page for such keywords.
Headlines
Syntax:
== second layer == === third layer === ==== fourth layer ====
In total 6 layers are possible. The first layer is represented by the title of the page itself. Therefore no additional first headline should be set. A table of content is shown automatically, if more than a certain number of headlines is existing on a page.
Examples:
|
Programming like this... |
...will look like this! |
== Headline2 == |
Headline2 |
=== Headline3 === |
Headline3 |
==== Headline4 ==== |
Headline4 |
Internal Links
Syntax:
[[Internal_Link|Optional_Text]]
Internal links are pointing to other pages in the same wiki and have to be surrounded by doublets of square brackes. If an alternative text should be shown for the link, this can be done by adding text that is separated from the link by an vertical bar ("|").
Examples:
|
Programming like this... |
...will look like this! |
More internal [[More Info|information]] is available. |

External Links
Syntax:
[External_Link Optional_Text]
External links are pointing to other web-pages outside of the wiki and have to be surrounded by single square brackes. If an alternative text should be shown for the link, this can be done by adding text that is separated from the link by an space character. If no alternative text is given, the link will be shown as an enumerated number in square brackets.
Examples:
|
Programming like this... |
...will look like this! |

Images and Files
Syntax:
[[Image:Filename.Ext|Optional_Parameters]] [[File:Filename.Ext|Optional_Parameters]] [[Media:Filename.Ext|Optional_Text]]
Images and files can be emnedded into pages by linking to them internally (surrounded by doublets of square brackets). In addition the filename has to be labeled with one of the prefixes "Image:", "File:" or "Media:". Separated by vertical bars ("|"), additional parameters can be passed. More information about this can be read here and there.
Files that are linked to, have to be uploaded to the wiki. This can be done at the special page File upload or by setting a "dead" link to then file (clicking to that will redirect to the upload page).
Examples:
|
Programming like this... |
...will look like this! |
[[Image:BIT-Logo.png|100px|BIT Group Logo]] |
|
[[Image:New-Image.png]] |
Assigning Categories
Syntax:
[[Category:Category_Name]]
A category can be assigned to a page, if an internal link with the prefix label "Category:" is set anywhere on a page. As many categorys as needed can be assigned.
If a category is set, a filed with category links appers at the bottom of the page (this happens independend on where the category statement is placed on the page, and therefore it is the reason, why the "...will look like this!" section is empty for the example).
Examples:
|
Programming like this... |
...will look like this! |
[[Category:Training]] |
Lists
Syntax:
* List item ** List item *** List item **** List item
Examples:
|
Programming like this... |
...will look like this! |
* Fruits ** Bananas ** Apples * Vegetables ** Tomatos ** Cucumbers |
|
Nummerical Lists
Syntax:
# List item ## List item ### List item #### List item
Examples:

...will look like this! |
# Fruits ## Bananas ## Apples # Vegetables ## Tomatos ## Cucumbers |

Mathematical Formulas
Syntax:
<math>TeX-Formula</math>
More information about TeX is given in Wikipedia-Help (German).
Examples:

Programming like this... |
...will look like this! |
<math>x_{1,2} = -\frac{p}{2} \pm \sqrt{\left( \frac{p}{2} \right)^2 - q}</math>
|
|
<math>\sum_{i=1}^n{i} = \frac{n \cdot (n+1)}{2}</math>
|
|
<math>W = \int_{s_0}^{s_1}{\vec{F} \ \text{d}\vec{s}}</math>

Table of content
A Table of content is normally automatically generated, if a page has more than a specific number of headlines.
It can also be enforced or inhibited by one of the following statements:
__TOC__ (Table of content will be shown at this position) __NOTOC__ (No table of content will be shown)
