In earlier article we understand what is Wiki Page Library and How to create Wiki Page Library. In this article we will understand how to use Wiki Page Site to share, view and create new information page.
Please read the following in order to understand how Wiki Site works in Sharepoint. It is very similar to usual way of wiki we are using on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki If you are new to Wiki's world, it is good that you should read following description to make yourself
acquainted of how Wiki works.
Editing wiki pagesThis wiki library provides
what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) editing. To edit a page, click
Edit at the top of the page. You can insert tables and pictures
with the click of a button. When you are happy with your changes you can click
OK to update the page.
Creating links to
pagesYou can link to another page in this wiki library by enclosing
the name of the page in double brackets on the edit form. For example, type
[[Home]] to create a link to the page named Home and [[How To Use This Wiki
Library]] to create a link to this page.
To create a link to a page and
have the link display different text than the page name, type a pipe character
(|) after the page name, and then type the display text. For example, type
[[Home|Home Page]] to create the link labeled Home Page that points to the page
named Home.
To display double opening or closing brackets without making
a link, type a backslash before the two brackets. For example, \[[ or
\]].
Creating pagesThere are two main ways to create
a new page in your wiki library:
- Create a forward link to another page and then click on it to create the
page:
This is the recommended way to create a page because it is easier
for people to find the page when another page links to it.
Forward links
to pages that do not exist have a dashed underline. Start by adding the link
(follow the Creating links to pages process earlier on this
page). Click the link to go to the Create Page form where you can start typing
your content.
- Create a page that is not linked to any other:
In the
Recent Changes section, click View All Pages.
Then, on the New menu, click New Wiki Page.
This takes you to the Create Page form where you can start typing your content.
Managing your wiki libraryYou can manage the
pages in your wiki library by clicking
View All Pages in the
Recent Changes section.
Restoring a
pageIf you need to restore a previous version of a page, click
History at the top of the page. You can then click on any of
the dates to view the page as it existed on that date. When you find the version
that you want to restore, click
Restore this version on the
toolbar.
Viewing incoming linksYou can see which
pages link to the current page by clicking
Incoming Links at
the top of the page.
