Project-Wiki

All users of the Projektablage who have been granted access to this IT-service in a project space via the administration interface.

In contrast to other IT-services in the Projektablage (such as the Project-Seafile), the administration interface only sets whether or not a project member has access to the wiki, but no detailed access rights such as 'read' or 'write' access are specified. Such access rights can be set in the wiki service itself by the administrators. By default, a project member who has been granted access to a wiki has full access to the entire content (see also Administration).

To access a wiki in a project space, go to wiki.projekt.uni-hannover.de/PROJECT_SPACE_NAME, replacing ‘PROJECT_SPACE_NAME’ with the name of the project space. The login dialogue appears, which you can use to log in for the Projektablage using your access data. 

If the wiki service is not active in the project (e.g. because it has not been activated or the project has expired), an information page will appear indicating this. In this case, please contact an administrative person of the project space.

DokuWiki uses a simple markup language to create the content of a page. For documentation on this language, see the manufacturer's page on syntax.

In DokuWiki, pages can be organised in a folder-like structure. Such folders are called namespaces and are created automatically when a new page with a colon in the page name is created. For more information, see the manufacturer's page on namespaces.

An overview of all existing pages and namespaces can be viewed via the ‘Overview’ button in the top right-hand corner of the website.

The Media Manager can be accessed via the corresponding button in the top right-hand corner of the website and allows you to manage uploaded files in the wiki. Files are stored in namespaces and can be integrated into the pages of the wiki depending on the type of file (see section on syntax).

Every change to a wiki page that is saved leads to a new version of this page. The versions can be viewed via the side menu on the right-hand side of the screen. It is possible to display the respective version or differences between versions. Older versions can also be restored.

The color plugin allows you to set the text colour for correspondingly marked text sections.

The CSV plugin enables defining a table using CSV notation (comma-separated values).

The EditTable-Plugin enables the interactive creation and editing of tables similar to a spreadsheet. Editing is limited to manual input and does not allow the evaluation of formulas or similar spreadsheet functions.

The Hidden-Plugin allows you to define collapsible and expandable text sections. This can be used, for example, to improve the clarity of a wiki page.

The MathJax-Plugin allows you to set mathematical expressions using TeX syntax. The expressions are generated using the MathJax software.

To create an inline expression, it is written between the character strings ‘\(’ and ‘\)’ (without inverted commas). For centred expressions on their own lines, the character strings ‘\[’ and ‘\]’ must be used.

Note: The rendering of the expressions takes place in the user's browser and is therefore not covered by the ODT export, which takes place on the server side.

The Multi Line Lists plugin allows you to split entries in enumerations across several lines using indents.

The ODT plugin allows you to export a wiki page to ODT format, as used by LibreOffice, for example. The export can be carried out using the corresponding button in the page menu on the right-hand side of the screen.

ThesSortableJS plugin  enables the creation of sortable tables.

Note: Sorting takes place in the user's browser and is therefore not covered by the ODT export, which takes place on the server side.

The  Wrap plugin allows you to set a selected styling for content using containers.

Project members with administrative rights can make various settings in the admin area. These include user and access management as well as general settings for the wiki. The settings can be found via the ‘Admin’ button in the top right-hand corner of the website.

The user administration can be called up in the admin area of a wiki. This page is mainly used to assign groups to users.

Access management can be called up in the admin area of a wiki. This allows you to set access rights for individual users or entire groups.

By default, all users are assigned to the ‘user’ group, which has full access to the entire content of the wiki. In addition, the wiki can only be accessed by logged-in users by default.

The configuration can be called up in the admin area of a wiki. This enables general settings for the wiki, which are briefly explained on the page.
