Basic VI commands
A decent VI cheatsheet is here: http://www.lagmonster.org/docs/vi.html
Post-install configuration
Skinning the wiki
The skin is in:
/var/lib/mediawiki/skins/Vector
In variables.less the colors are defined:
@html-font-size: 100%; @light-gray: #ccc; @very-light-gray: #eee;525254 @dark-gray: #77787a; @darkest-grey: #525254; @baker-green: #0d776e; @dark-baker-green: #0a5e57; @light-orange: #f59972; @baker-orange: #eb6d2e; @dark-orange: #a63c07;
Setting up Content
New category
Add the Internal Category
[[Category:Internal]]
and protect it using ACL.
Create a category by searching for Category:Name, or by clicking a link to the category. Add a page to a category by including the tag [[Category:Name]]
To create a link to a category, use a leading colon before the category name (without this colon, the current page would be added to the category):
[[:Category:Help]] -> Category:Help
To change the link text, write the text inside the link tag after a pipe:
[[:Category:Help|Help category]] -> Help category
See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Categories for more information.
Change sidebar
Add the Internal pages to the mediawiki sidebar
Browse the MediaWiki:Sidebar page and edit it. Don't include the square brackets in the links.
Getting started
Consult the User's Guide for information on using the wiki software.
