Welcome to the Design Research master's wiki! We are glad too see that you are interested in browsing the wiki or editing it.
Browse the wiki
No need to have an account to browse the wiki, use the search bar at the top to find articles. Use the left menu to find important pages and actions. Also, some non-editables pages called Special pages can help you navigate the wiki :
- Special:Random (also located on the left menu) brings you to a random page
- Special:AllPages lists all articles on the wiki.
- Special:SpecialPages lists all the Special pages.
- Special:RecentChanges displays the recently modified pages.
- Special:NewPages displays the most recently created pages.
Setup your account
You must have an account to start editing the wiki, upload images etc. Only Wikimdr:Administrators can create accounts. Provide Admin an email address and a wiki username and they will create one for you. You will receive your account informations by email. Then you can log in to start editing the wiki.
- Setup a strong password : it must be 16 characters long.
- Verify your email address in the Special:Preferences (in the user menu with a person icon).
- If you want, you can setup a 2 factors authentication also in the preferences for security enhancement.
Done! If you need help, contact an admin.
Start editing
Editing articles is also a great part of the wiki. Don't be stressed out, every modification can be reversed and improved, so write freely.
- Explore the editing guides : get familiar with the two editing methods in Help:Editing and follow the Help:Style guide for consistency on the wiki.
- A good way to start editing is to setup your Userpage. This is a personal space so put anything you want! It is a great way to keep track of who was part of the master, so you can add info like your name, year of graduation, research subject, mail, website...
Create an article
Before creating a new article search if it is not already available on the wiki, maybe under another name. Keep in mind it is often better to contribute to an existing article than creating a new one. But keep articles
Administrate the wiki
For wiki setup and administration info and tasks see Help:Admin.
