Changes

Wiki content is easy to edit and create. Content is written in a markup language, and the basic markup is provided below. There are also links to 'official' help sources. But first you should know that each page comes with it's own discussion page that you access using the tab at the tab (it is next to the edit tab). If you are unsure about some content, or what want to discuss it, you should add your insights and comments there and not on the page itself!

Wiki pages are written in a very simple markup language. You can click the edit button on any page and enter marked-up content into the box and click save, and the new changes will appear instantly on the page. You can probably deduce all of the markup that you need by looking at an existing page, but as a quick reference I provide the most used syntax is provided below. (Note that if you look at the source code, you will see that I use the <nowiki><nowiki></nowiki></nowiki>tag is used to prevent the wiki from interpreting the code. ===Making tables using data from Excel=== For now, use [http://excel2wiki.net/wikipedia.php| this website] to paste data from Excel and then convert it to a format usable in Wiki. At a later date or possibly later today Carlin will figure out how to do this without using an external website (possibly by using a plugin). Alternatively utilize regular expressions and [[Winner's Curse in Acquisitions (Academic Paper)]] as a reference for table making in wikis. ===Bullets, Indents and Boxes===

'''At the start of a line:'''

'''===Headers=== To make headers heirarchiarly (TOC is automatic) use:'''

*<nowiki>==Section header==</nowiki>- The Quick Hint Section uses this*<nowiki>===Sub-Section header===</nowiki>- "Headers" is a sub-section

'''To link===Links=== There are two types of links:'''*<nowiki>[http:/www... Text that you want] for are external links</nowiki>*<nowiki>[[WikiPage | Text that you want] or just [[WikiPage]] for external are internal links</nowiki> With the first link, a space after the URL indicated that the text that follows is the label. With the second link, the text following the pipe <nowiki>(|)</nowiki> indicates the label. You can leave the pipe and text off and then the page link will show up as the page name, like this: <nowiki>[[BPP]]</nowiki> gives [[BPP]].

===Create A Page=== If you want to create a new page, make a link to a page name that doesn'''t exist, save the page, and then click the link! ===Basic Text Formatting'''=== Use text formatting sparingly:

With the first link===Images=== First, [[Special:Upload|upload a file]] (there's a space after link in the URL indicated that toolbox to the text right). Then link to that follows file. More information on how to align, scale, or otherwise process images is available from [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images mediawiki's help pages] ===Math=== And we wouldn't feel like proper PhD students if we couldn't render some math. LaTex is the labelfully supported. Just add a <nowiki><math>...</math></nowiki> tag around any LaTex like you would normally use either $...$ or $$...$$. For example: :I am <math>\succ </math> you. With  You might also want to see the second link[[Help using LaTeX]] page! ===Transclusion=== Transclusion is a way to include pages, the or text following from pages in other pages. See: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Transclusion On the pipe source page you can:*Include tags like <nowiki>(|)<onlyinclude> ... </onlyinclude></nowiki> indicates so that only the labelselected section will appear on transcluded pages*Include links to the pages itself, like <nowiki> [[Editing Content]]</nowiki>. You can leave On the pipe and source page these 'links' will appear as bold text off and then , but on the transcluded page they appear as a link will show up as . On the target page name, like thisyou can include the transcluded page (or section thereof) by using: *<nowiki>[[BPP]]{{:PageName}}</nowiki> gives [[BPP]].
