Mediawiki Navigation

MediaWiki is a free and open-source software used to power Wikipedia and other websites that use the same technology. It is a web-based collaborative platform that enables users to create and edit content, organize information, and manage communities.

One of the key features of MediaWiki is its navigation system, which allows users to easily browse and find the information they are looking for. This is accomplished through the use of a number of different tools and features, including:

• General look and feel: The common parts of a MediaWiki page
• Navigation: Moving around from page to page
• Articles: The main content of the wiki
• Searching: Finding articles by keyword
• Categories: Organizing similar articles into groups
• Namespaces: Dividing the wiki into sections

We’ll also briefly discuss writing and editing articles, just enough to get you started. Module 4 will cover this topic in detail.
