| + | You may be tempted to use the //Backward// and //Forward// buttons of your web browser (usually left and right arrows), when navigating on the wiki.

| - | There is a good chance you will use lots of **item lists** and need to know more about them:\\ | + | Luckily for you, pages are //auto-saved// regularly when you edit them. If you navigate away or lose your connection, the wiki will probably offer an //Edit/Recover Draft// option when you travel back to the page you were editing. |

| - | Make sure that there are **2 spaces** (spaces are shown as '_' below) before the '*' and that the item lines are **not separated by blank lines**. If you want to force a //newline// in an item, use '**%%\\_%%**' (2 backslashes followed by a space).\\ | + | There is a good chance you will use lots of **item lists** and need to know more about them: |

| ===== Creating a page ===== | ===== Creating a page ===== | ||
| + | ==== Pagenames and namespaces ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | A page is defined by its name (pagename) and its location in the wiki page hierarchy (aka namespaces). You may want to read the documentation about [[http://www.dokuwiki.org/pagename|pagenames]] and [[http://www.dokuwiki.org/namespaces|namespaces]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The PMIP3 structure looks like: | ||
| + | |||
| + | | ''pmip3:index'' | home page | | ||
| + | | ''pmip3:section:index'' | main page of a section | | ||
| + | | ''pmip3:section:my_page'' | a page in the same section | | ||
| + | | ''pmip3:section:subsection:index'' | main page of the subsection | | ||
| + | | ''pmip3:section:subsection:my_page'' | a page in the same subsection | | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Page creation ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | You need to have **write access** to a namespace in order to **create a new page** or (sub-)namespace in there. Depending on your [[pmip3:whoswho#wiki_users|group]], you may or may not have write access to all the PMIP3 wiki. If your page is in a non-existing namespace, the new namespace will also be created. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * You can create a page by clicking on a link to it on an existing page. A link to a non-existing page appears in [[pmip3:dummy_namespace:stupid_subspace:example_page|red]] (you can click on the //''red''// page link but please refrain from creating the [[pmip3:dummy_namespace:stupid_subspace:example_page]] !). | ||
| + | |||
| + | * You can also create a page by typing the //address// of the new page directly in the address bar of your browser.\\ e.g. The [[pmip3:dummy_namespace:stupid_subspace:example_page]] referenced above could also be created by typing directly the following link\\ %%https://pmip3.lsce.ipsl.fr/wiki/doku.php/pmip3:dummy_namespace:stupid_subspace:example_page%% | ||
| + | |||
| + | Once you are on a new page (the wiki will display ''//This topic does not exist yet//''), click on the //Create this page// button, edit the default page template and save the page. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Removing a page ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you want to remove a page, just edit it, remove all its content, and save the empty page. | ||
| - | * If you have **write access** and want to **create a new page**, please use [[pmip3:blank_page|this template]]! You will find more help about page creation in the template itself (and the source of the template) | ||
