Creating a Work Log
Every team member should have a work log. To create a work log make a page on wiki called Full Name (Work Log).
Note that you can do this by either searching for that page or by linking to it and then following the link.
Then:
- Include [[Full Name]] [[Work Logs]] [[Full Name (Work Log)|(log page)]] at the top of your new work log page.
- Transclude your current semester's work to the master log by wrapping the log of this semester, including the header your just made, with <onlyinclude> tags.
- At the very bottom of your log page, include [[Category:Work Log]] to categorize your page.
Master Work Log
The master [Work Log] includes extracts of everyone's individual work logs.
After creating your work log, add yourself to the master work log under your designated category (e.g. Technical) by adding this text:
- ==Full Name== (Replace Full Name with your name.)
- {{:Full Name (Work Log)}}
User Profile Work Log Link
Add a link to your work log in your user profile by adding this text at the bottom:
- ==Time at McNair==
- [[Full Name (Work Log)]] (Replace Full Name with your name.)
About Work Logs
Work logs are used to track your progress and tasks for each workday. Here are some general rules when setting up your work log:
- Divide your work log by semesters (fall, spring, summer) followed by the year with sub-section header formatting (=== wrapping).
- Log everything in reverse chronological order (most recent first) so that it's easier to read.
- For daily logging, put the date in YYYY-MM-DD format followed by a colon and then whatever you did that day. You don't have to include time.
Remember to add yourself to the master log as well as create a link to your work log on your user profile page.
