A Wiki is a website which allows collaborative editing of its content and structure by its users. We use open source Wiki software called DokuWiki. Read the DokuWiki manual or syntax guide for further details.

You can read how DokuWiki handles access control here. Additional information with respect to our Wiki:

• All EECS system users are able to login to all Wikis.
• Through the ACL Editor, you can control the namespaces and pages that users who are logged in or not logged in can view.
• It is no longer possible for you to manually create additional users on your Wiki site. If you need to give a non-EECS user access to your site, then please contact the technical support team, and we will create a system account.
• System groups such as admin, faculty, grad, tech, or ugrad are automatically integrated into the wiki. You can use @GROUP in the ACL manager where GROUP is any system group.
• Wiki admins can create internal wiki groups using the “ ” plugin.
• It is no longer possible to automatically restrict access to wiki namespace or page via course distribution list. If this functionality is necessary, you can create a manual group using the plugin above.

On our Dokuwiki installation, you can add a sidebar to any page. The default sidebar is called “sidebar”, and it can be overridden at any level. For more information on sidebars, please see here.

The following Dokuwiki plugins are available on our site:

• Box Plugin - highlight important parts of your wiki in boxes that standout
• Gallery Plugin - allows you to embed an automatically created image gallery into a wiki page
• Comment Plugin - add comments/notes to your Wiki source that won't be shown on the page
• Font Colour Plugin - change colour of text in your wiki page
• Highlight Plugin - highlight text in your wiki page
• IFrame Plugin - display another web page inside your wiki page
• Include Plugin - include another Wiki page in the current one
• Math Plugin - incorporate mathematical formulae into your wiki page
• Numbered Headline Plugin - add numbered headings
• Repository Plugin - display svn repositories including syntax highlighting
• swfObject Plugin - embed .swf (and indirectly .flv files) on your wiki page
• s5 Presentation Plugin - presentations plugin
• Video Plugin - embed various media types into your web page

Note:

There are many Dokuwiki plugins available for extending the functionality of the wiki. DokuWiki plugins are often developed by users who are not part of the DokuWiki development team. As a result, there is no guarantee that: 1) the plugin developer will assist us if the plugin does not work, 2) the plugin developer will not abandon the plugin entirely, and 3) that plugins will continue to work after DokuWiki software updates. As a result, we try to minimize the number of plugins installed.
