At first glance, a wiki page can appear somewhat confusing; in addition to the actual information it intends to convey, there are a number of navigation and page management functions.

  • The upper grey bar show the location of the current page in the site hierarchy. Each item is a link that can be clicked to take you directly to that other page or website.
  • The Search function will yield results from the entire wiki space; this can also be narrowed down to just the HST space.
  • Just below the Search field we find links pertaining to the current page:
    • View is the main reading interface
    • Edit allows you to edit the current page and the title, which is to the left of the screen
    • Attachments displays a list of documents (if any) that are associated with the current page.
    • Info shows statistics about the current page: when it was created and last modified, who created it, etc. More importantly, it allows you to view the editing history of the page and return to a previous version.
  • Next on BBC2, me telling you this.
  • The grey bar at the bottom contains links to more general or site-related information:
    • Browse Space displays the elements of the wiki space in more generic format, independent of the page layouts that page authors have embedded.
    • Explore Confluence will be a useful reference when you begin to write and publish your own pages. There are a wide variety of codes you can embed in your text to change how words are displayed or draw content in from other areas.
    • Your Account lets you change settings, for instance your Favorite pages or the ones that automatically email you if they are edited.
