Help:First Steps

Getting Started

Welcome to our wiki! If you would like to contribute to it, the first thing you have to do is request an account. You can do so by clicking the "Log in / create account" Link in the upper right corner and then click on "request one" on the next page. Alternatively, just click here.

Formatting Text, Using Links and Images

The first and maybe best place to start trying out the wiki syntax and play around with the functions of the wiki might be your own wiki user page. This is a helpful link will give you a great overview on formatting in the wiki.
The next thing you might want to find out is how to create links or how to create new pages. You will see, this syntax is very intuitive and easy to remember, but even if you have trouble to do so, just copy and paste the relevant parts into the text box and change it according to your needs.
If you wish to upload pictures, you can do so here (or via the Toolbox/Special Pages in the left sidebar), find additional information on licensing questions here, and find some information about the formatting on this helpful page.

Online Exercises

For creating online exercises, this wiki uses an extension called Quiz. To find out how to create multiple choice quizzes or gapfill exercises, please have a look at this page.
Another great way to create exercises are collapsible elements. If you want to know more about this, please click here.
