Front Page

Welcome to Keene's new wiki! This is Keene Wiki's Front Page.
Each small group, or "pod" in the ITW 101 class "A Blog of One's Own" will create a page on the wiki, designed to provide a useful resource for other Keene students.

A wiki is a collection of linked pages which anyone can edit and add pages to. The whole point of a wiki is freedom of expression and ease of use. If you see anything that is inaccurate or which you'd like to expand, just go ahead and do it. (Of course, your changes should be for the good of the Keene Wiki and the Keene community. If they're not, other users or helpful wiki gnomes will come along and restore the pages.)
To start growing the Keene Wiki, just log in above. Create a user name, and if you want to be able to retrieve a forgotton password, a valid email address.

Wondering, what to do now? See the Quick Start Guide below, sign in, then go to the wiki page for your pod (see the links above) and add to the description of your pod.

Default Pages Included With Your Wiki

This is a simple list of of all pages included with this wiki. You will hopefully create many, many more!

• All Pages is an automatically generated list of all the pages in the wiki.
  

• Bookmarks is for your bookmarks on this wiki. Every user has his/her own bookmarks page based on what they choose to bookmark on this wiki. To bookmark a page, simply click "Bookmark" at the bottom of the page! (Interwiki Bookmarks on wikispot shows you all of your bookmarks on all wikis.)
  

• Front Page is the page you're currently viewing.
  

• Events Board is a page where anyone can post events in the community.
  

• Help links to the main help pages on wikispot — useful for reference.
  

• Interwiki Map — link to non-Wiki Spot wikis using interwiki links by adding names and URLs of wikis to this page.
  

• Orphaned Pages contains an automatically generated list of pages with no links to them. Ideally, this page should be empty — keep your wiki well-linked!
  

• Outgoing Links lists all pages sorted by the number outgoing links on each page. This provides a good place to start if you're feeling gnomeish and want to link-up some pages with few to no links.
  

• Quick Wiki Tips — At the top of Recent Changes shows randomly selected tips from this page.
  

• Recent Changes shows all the recent activity on the wiki in a given time period. This page lets everybody see what's happening in your wiki! (Interwiki Recent Changes on wikispot shows you the recent changes on all the wikis you're watching.)
  

• Random Pages is a randomly generated list of twenty-five pages. Good for finding pages to edit once your wiki grows large.
  

• Site Organization has links to pages that help you keep your wiki well organized.
  

• Templates is a user created list of template pages — pages that you can use as starting blocks for making new pages. Templates/Business is there just to give you an idea of what a template should be.
  

• User Statistics is a page that displays statistics, such as the number of edits, for each person who's edited your wiki.
  

• Wanted Pages contains all the pages that are linked to, but do not yet exist. This is another good place to start gnomeing.
  

• Wiki Sandbox is a place for users to play around with the wiki without disturbing your content.
  

• Wiki Settings contains the administrative settings for your wiki.
  

• Wiki Settings/CSS is the page where you can upload different style sheets that change your wiki's appearance.
  

• Wiki Settings/General contains general settings for your wiki.
  

• Wiki Settings/Images allows you to customize images on your wiki, such as your logos.
  

• Wiki Settings/Security lets you change the default security settings of your wiki and create user groups to control access.

Making new pages!

To create a new page, simply search for the name of the page you wish to create and then click the "Create a new page with this title" link. Another way to create a new page is by making a link to the page you wish to create from a page that already exists, following the link, and clicking "Create this page."
