New FamiLAB Class: Wiki Editing 101
Currently, there's plans on the instruction of creating and editing wiki pages on our lab wiki.
These classes will help members create new pages and edit ones that need editing.
Some of the things that also will be done are, for the first class:
- For people without wiki accounts, a new wiki account will be opened with them before the class.
- Learn basic editing commands and basic formatting syntax.
- Find what they're passionate about at the lab so they might have interest in taking on that topic for the wiki.
- Creating a user page so you may present information about yourself to the rest of the lab.
- Be given a list of resources to learn more about wiki editing beyond what is taught in the classes.
Some of the things that will be done in the second class:
- Learn extended wiki editing syntax that wasn't taught in the first class.
- Learn how to create tables and learn how to use CSS (cascading style sheets) within wiki pages. Also, CSS is used for implementing colors properly within wiki pages.
- Possibly learn some proper grammar to enhance the accuracy of the information found in our wiki.
These classes will be combined with the new wiki editing nights so new editors may use their new knowledge to help with the FamiLAB Wiki.
These new classes were from the suggestion from Katie. She came up with the idea considering people may have been discouraged from doing editing because they lacked the knowledge on how to perform editing properly.
