====== Editing, creating and removing PMIP3 wiki pages ======

<note warning>Thank you for reading these instructions at least once! :-)</note>

===== Editing a(n existing) page =====

If you have **write access** to some or all pages, you can change them by clicking on the //Edit this page// button at the top/bottom left of each page.

You can use the basic formatting tools at the top of the edit window, or visit the [[wiki:syntax|Wiki syntax]] page to learn more about formatting. You can also get information on more advanced topics in the [[http://www.dokuwiki.org/manual|manual]].

Once you are happy with your changes, please make sure that you **write a summary of what you changed** in the //Edit summary// input zone **before you save** the changes.

==== Page locks ====

  * When you edit a page on this wiki, you are the temporary //owner// of the page (i.e. you have a //lock// on the page) during 15 minutes, which should give you plenty of time to validate your changes. Anyway, the //lock// is renewed for 15 minutes each time you click on the //Preview// button, and the wiki will even warn you when your lock is about to expire with the following popup message:\\ <code>Your lock for editing this page is about to expire in a minute.
To avoid conflicts use the preview button to reset the locktimer.</code>

  * There is a (very) slight chance that somebody else will already be editing the page you want to update... You will then get an error message looking like:\\ <code>This page is currently locked for editing by another user.
You have to wait until this user finishes editing or the lock expires. 

  * Currently locked by: jypeter
  * Lock expires at: 2009/02/03 10:10 (6 min)</code> In that case, just try again a few minutes later, when the other person is done editing.

==== Do not navigate away from the page you are editing... ====

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. Please refrain from using these buttons when you are editing a page and you have not saved your changes, if you do not want to lose your work!

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.

==== Item lists ====

There is a good chance you will use lots of **item lists** and need to know more about them:

The lines starting with **''*''** will appear as an item list (use **''-''** for an //ordered// item list).

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).

Example:

<code>__* An item on \\_2 lines...\\_with a bonus 3rd line
____* and a sub_item</code>

will appear as:

        * An item on \\ 2 lines...\\ with a bonus 3rd line
          * and a sub-item

==== Practising ====

You can visit the [[playground:|Playground]] and experiment with the wiki features there, if you want to practise before changing actual PMIP3 pages :-)

==== Non standard wiki features ====

Page editors and creators can also use some features we have added to this wiki.  They are documented only here (and **not** in the [[wiki:syntax|Wiki syntax]] page)

=== Adding fancy boxes ===

You can use many kind of boxes! Note that if the boxes seem to //float and mix// with the regular text of the page, you should add a ''%%~~CLEARFLOAT~~%%'' or ''%%~~CL~~%%'' directive after your %%<box>...</box>%% directive

<code><box>Basic box</box></code>
<box>Basic box</box>
~~CLEARFLOAT~~

<code><box red left>Red left-justified box</box></code>
<box red left>Red left-justified box</box>
~~CLEARFLOAT~~

<code><box blue right round>Blue right-justified //round// box</box></code>
<box blue right round>Blue right-justified //round// box</box>
~~CLEARFLOAT~~

<code><box rgb(200,255,200)>Light green box</box></code>
<box rgb(200,255,200)>Light green box</box>
~~CLEARFLOAT~~

[[http://wiki.jalakai.co.uk/dokuwiki/doku.php/tutorial/boxes|More info]] on the //box// plugin and [[http://wiki.jalakai.co.uk/dokuwiki/doku.php/test/boxes|many examples]]

=== Adding notes ===

It is possible to insert 3 types of note in the pages:


<note>%%<note>My note</note>%%</note>

<note tip>%%<note tip>My note</note>%%</note>

<note important>%%<note important>My note</note>%%</note>

<note warning>%%<note warning>My note</note>%%</note>

===== 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.
