 Right now, this wiki is set up such that only logged-in users can edit pages. But user accounts are shared between [[https://bamlab.berkeley.edu|the main Wordpress group website]] and this wiki, so the same username and password work on both. To get a user account, email the [[webmaster]] with your desired username and email; they will quickly create an account, and an automated email will be sent to you to set a password. This way, you can more easily edit both the WordPress site (which requires user registration) and this wiki. Right now, this wiki is set up such that only logged-in users can edit pages.

 +Pages are edited as plain text with special syntax for formatting, and then converted to pretty website by the DokuWiki engine once saved.
 +
 +If you'd like, you can experiment with assorted syntax on the [[playground:playground]] page.

 + 
 +For example, make a bulleted list by indenting items with two spaces and an asterisk: 
 + 
 +  * item one 
 +  * item two 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +  * item one

 +=== Images and Video === 
 + 
 +You can upload images with the [[https://bamlab.berkeley.edu/wiki/wiki?do=media&ns=|media manager]] (see the link at the top right of the website). 
 + 
 +However: ONLY UPLOAD SMALL IMAGES! 
 + 
 +The website server gives us a maximum space of 5GB, so uploading large images and videos will use up that space quickly and have to be removed. Unfortunately, there's not currently an easy way around this other than to use small images, or to link to bigger images and videos and presentations stored on Box or something. Even then, Berkeley may transition away from Box in the next couple years, in which case those links could be broken.

 +Go to a page, then mouse over the edit page button. In the drop-down menu that appears, select the rename pages tool to rename the page.
 +
 +==== Namespaces ====
 +
 +Pages can be made in "namespaces", which are just like folders. These appear in the sitemap, and can help organize pages into categories. For example, the [[about:onboarding|onboarding]] page is in the "about" namespace.
 +
 +However, most pages are not in a namespace because they don't help organize a sufficiently big wiki, as some pages might reasonably belong in more than one namespace. This also makes page URLs simpler.
