The KB is set up using MediaWiki, which means that you can contribute to it the same way you would contribute to other wikis. Any DVS member can contribute to the KB as long as they sign up for an account.

  • To sign up for a KB account, use the "Create Account" link in the top right of this page. Please use your full name and the same email address you used for signing up as a DVS member, so that we can verify your membership before granting you basic editing rights. Board members, committee members, and contractors or employees may be given extended editing and viewing rights as needed. Please contact the Knowledge Director to arrange this.
  • To edit a page, navigate to the page you want to edit, then select the "Edit" tab at the top (next to the search bar). An editor will open where you can make changes to the page.

Formatting

An overview of formatting markup is available on the MediaWiki wiki. Here are some more helpful tips and links:

  • Adding images
  • Creating tables
  • To add references at the bottom of the page using the Cite extension, add them inline wrapped in <ref></ref> tags, then add the references list at the bottom of the page by adding a header == References == followed by the <references /> tag.
