Make Wiki Pages with Kim Burton

A wiki is a website that anyone can edit. Wikipedia is the world's largest encyclopedia, and wiki sites can be set up for anything. We've got a specific wiki of our own a MakeICT. There are wikis dedicated to cars, travel, parody, books... even Star Wars (it's called Wookieepedia). In this demonstration we'll cover the basics of editing Wiki pages that run on MediaWiki software. You'll learn about the philosophy of wiki pages, how to add text and images, how to link to and categorize pages, how to find a starting point, like the Wikipedia Kansas Project, to help you get a starting point to contribute to bigger sites. Learn in whatever style is right for you. Some laptops will be available for users who'd like to practice as we go, or you can bring your own laptop, or you can just follow along.
