You will get:
 
-        a separate MediaWiki installation, installed by us, also called a wiki instance
 
-        opportunities to manage the access to other users from UiB
 
-        it is also possible to create accounts if there are people from other institutions who should have access
 
-        The IT department will provide backup of the data in the database
 
 
-        The IT department will make sure to upgrade when it’s time for new versions
 
The wiki will be available at:


[http://wikihost.uib.no/XXXwiki '''http://wikihost.uib.no/XXXwiki''']
''Wikepedia is a good example, and Wikihost-service uses the same technology: [http://mediawiki.org/'' 'Mediawiki''']''


Where XXXwiki is the name of the wiki.

* All changes will be preserved in revisions
''that means you get a history of the changes, and you see the content of the wiki-article at any certain time in it's history of changes.''


Some have special requests for extensions beyond what is offered.
* No information is lost, every change is preserved.  


These wishes can be entered via http://bs.uib.no (note the case of extension, wikhost)
* You can register a “watch” on the wiki-document and you will receive an email each time someone makes a change to the wiki page.


But: even if we want to offer most of the functionality, we reserve the right to decide whether the extension is installed.
* You can "protect" pages so that only administrators and bureacrats can change the information


Here is the list of installed extensions one can choose between:

-        Who should be able to log into the wiki in order to change the content? (Organization, location code, user accounts). Can be changed later.
 
-        Give an eventual list with: first name, last name and UIB username for those who must have administrator rights in the wiki (and bureacrat sysop rights).
 
-        Should everyone at your institution be able to read and change the content?

  • With the Wiki you can produce text information with other people in a simple manner.

Wikepedia is a good example, and Wikihost-service uses the same technology: 'Mediawiki'

  • You could decide whether the information should be available to all the world or only for your own ‘wiki’ group.
  • All changes will be preserved in revisions

that means you get a history of the changes, and you see the content of the wiki-article at any certain time in it's history of changes.

  • No information is lost, every change is preserved.
  • You can register a “watch” on the wiki-document and you will receive an email each time someone makes a change to the wiki page.
  • You can "protect" pages so that only administrators and bureacrats can change the information

Test a wiki now?

You can't do anything wrong, so please feel free to test.

Support

It is recommended that one read through the documentation:
