This will contain a manual for Administrators of the wiki.
Editing Content
Organizing Content
As the wiki continues to expand, its organization will become increasingly complex and important to manage. These are some internal functions that will help make the organization of the wiki possible.
Categories
Categories are used to group related entries. Entries are tagged using Category Tags, which will result in the entry's inclusion on the corresponding Category Page. Once tagged, the categories to which an entry has been assigned will be displayed at the bottom of that entry.
Modifying the Sidebar
The sidebar is another way to effectively organize the wiki.
The sidebar is essentially a list of pages dedicated to key topics. It is consistently visible to readers regardless of the section in which they are browsing.
As the wiki develops, changes will have to be made to the sidebar to accommodate subject developments. Changing the sidebar is as easy as modifying any other page, but it must be accessed in a particular manner.
