Welcome to the ENVRI wiki manual! This page contains instructions for navigating and contributing to the wiki.

🧭 The basics

New to wikis? Not to worry! The pure amount of links can seem daunting at first, but once you get the hang of it, you'll find that this way of organising information can be quite powerful. Here are the basics:

At its core, every page of a wiki is a normal webpage, and you navigate by clicking links (like this). Pages the contain other pages are called categories, these are recognizable by the "Category:" prefix in their title. Categories can contain other categories. You can find the main categories in the navigation bar on the left side of the screen (click the little triangle to show any sub-categories!), and on the Main Page. You can also use the search bar in the top right corner.

Here are some good examples of different kinds of pages:


That's it! With this you should be able to find your way around the wiki. If you feel that you would like more help, don't hesitate to contact us at manager@envri.eu! This manual will also be expanded with time, including images and video material.

So you've got the basics down? Great! Here you will find more information about the content structure of the wiki (ie. what the different categories are set up), how to contribute to the wiki, and how to use some more complicated features such as templates.

πŸ–Š Contributing

What makes a wiki different is that anyone can edit the pages – update, correct, or contribute content. This is done using the "Edit" tab also in the top right corner, next to the search bar. Be aware that edits by anonymous users may be revoked! You can find all edits of a given page under the "View history" tab.
