I'm enclosing my entire single line of comments in a couple of single quotes so that it italicizes and stands out from the other comments. Also, you noticed how you can run multiple words together and capitalize each of them, to create links.... If someone wanted to create a home page with brackets, they could also attribute their comments like this... -- [Garnet R. Chaney]?Create P.S. I like on this system to segregate personal user pages into the HomePages subdirectory, as in HomePage/Garnet?Create (notice how the wiki allows that typo, I meant HomePages/Garnet ) but wiki itself does not require that. You've probably noticed that the wiki itself doesn't impose a lot of structure on you, that's something you add by establishing your own conventions for how you use the wiki.

As you can see with this page, this system supports a few levels of sub-directories very easily. A student could organize their own set of pages under their own userpage. However, many wiki's prefer to keep all pages flat on the first level, since it gets into some difficulty sometimes to figure out what is a subclass of something else when you get into hierarchical naming. So when people are creating their own pages, reasonable length page names of a few words are encouraged, since there can be only one "Thoughts" page on the system.

Also, when dealing with hierarchies, I like to use "breadcrumbs" at the start of an item to show how I thought the page should fall within the Subjects . For example:

Submarines

Subjects > History > Military > Naval

This is indented with use of simple CSS padding style. Some HTML tags are allowed directly in the pages for those who understand HTML.

NOTE: I noticed that when using more than one level of subdirectory, (one level is HomePages/Garnet for example), it is important to put the double square brackets around the whole page name, for example HomePages/PatMaddux/MetaWikiDiscussion

I made this page to answer some of your questions, since it's possible you might be blocked from completing an edit in progress, if I jump in the middle of your experiments and edit in the middle of what you are doing.... In practice, this usually isn't a problem even on the busiest wikis. You've probably noticed the RecentChanges is a great way to keep up with what is happening on the wiki.-- Garnet
