Note for students
If you are a student and there isn't a page describing your project, this is because YOU have the task of creating it and populating it with (meaningful) content. If you are a student and there IS a page describing your project, you have the task to complete that page with (useful and comprehensive) information about your own contribution to the project. Be aware that the quality of your work (or lack of it) on the AIRWiki will be evaluated by the Teachers and will influence your grades.
Instructions to add a new project are available at #HOWTO add a new project to the AIRWiki.
HOWTO add a new project to the AIRWiki
NOTE: we know it's a lot of text down here. We tried to be hyper-clear to help inexperienced users of AIRWiki: let's say we made the following instructions fool-proof, and possibly too pedantic for most of us. This means that if you consider yourself such an expert that you can avoid to read these instructions, and you do some mistake, by definition you have proved yourself to be a fool.
Contributing to a wiki is easy, and leaves you with a deep sense of satisfaction: by contributing, you are documenting your work in a durable form and helping all the other users of the wiki as well. By the way, a well thought out help for MediaWiki (the software that AIRWiki, or for that matter also Wikipedia and many other websites, is built upon) is available here. So even if this is your first experience with a wiki, you should not have any problems.
To contribute you need to become one of AIRWiki's Registered users. Please note that all the content you insert into the AIRWiki must be written in English.
Here is a complete description of the procedure to create a new page associated to your project: follow it carefully, because other contributors do not appreciate when their content is damaged by careless people. Be very careful with that 'Save page' button...
Step 1: Preparing the new project page
- open a text editor (e.g. Notepad);
- create a new, empty text file: let's call it YourPage.txt;
- open the Project page template and click the edit tab on the top of it to expose the wiki source text;
- copy all the content of the source text window into YourPage.txt;
- modify YourPage.txt file by substituting all the example text with information about your project. It is likely that, for the time being, Part 2 of the page (project description) will be empty: after all you just started working on the project, isn't it?
Step 2: Adding the new project to the Projects page of the AIRWiki
- with a browser, open the Projects page;
- go to the 'Ongoing projects' section and find the subsection having the name of the research area of your project: e.g. "E-Science" (if you have doubts, ask the teachers);
- choose a name of your liking for the new AIRWiki page dedicated to your project. If the project already has an "official" name, use it; otherwise, use a word or a short phrase with only the first letter in capitals (of course you have to choose a name that is coherent with the objectives of the project);
- click the edit link on the right of the subsection to expose the wiki source text;
- add a new text line with the name of your project and a link to its wiki page: the latter is simply the project name you chose surrounded by double square parentheses (this will create the page when you will click the "Save page" button - DON'T click it now);
- use a blank line to separate the new line from pre-existing text;
- be extremely careful not to alter pre-existing text: if you think you could have done that, press the 'back' button of your browser now to exit from the editing page without saving, then repeat the editing steps;
- click the "Show preview" button at the bottom of the page, and look carefully at the whole subsection (not only to the part you added): if it doesn't seem to be perfectly right, press the 'back' button of your browser to exit from the editing page without saving, then repeat the editing;
- when you are certain that all is ok, click the "Save page" button at the bottom of the page.
You should be now (proudly) looking at the description of your project, perfectly set among the others.
Now, clicking on the link to your project's page in the Projects page of the AIRWiki, you will see one of these:
- the 'edit' tab of an empty page: good, you chose an unused name for your page. Proceed to fill the page as described below.
- a non-blank page: argh, you chose an already-used name for your page. Re-edit the Projects page and modify the wiki link (i.e. the name between double square parentheses) you put in it, changing the name of your new page (i.e. again, the name between double square parentheses). As before, click the "Save page" button only if and when you are certain that all is ok in the whole page.
Go on with this checking and modifying until you find a (sensible!) name that no other project has yet used.
Step 3: Filling the new page
- If you are looking at the 'edit' tab of your project's new page, simply open file "YourPage.txt" (you know, the one containing the content for your page, which you prepared before) and copy its entire contents into the page. If not, first use a browser to open your page and click on the 'edit' tab on the top of the page.
- click the "Show preview" button at the bottom of the page, and look carefully at the result: if it doesn't seem to be right, press the 'back' button of your browser now to exit from the editing page without saving, then repeat the page editing by clicking on the 'edit' tab on the top of the page;
- when you are certain that all is ok, click the "Save page" button at the bottom of the page.
You should now be able to (veeery proudly) see your project's page in its full glory. If you aren't satisfied with the result, just go back to page editing by clicking on the 'edit' tab on the top of the page.
As your work on your project will go on, don't forget to keep your project's page up-to-date by editing it every time you have new material. If the information you put in is sufficiently "finished", just put it in using the 'edit' tab as you just did
to be published on the public layer of the project's page
Remember that for your teachers it will be the main source of information about how your project is going, so they will look at it often and with attention :-)
