MediaWiki

Syntax

Below are how to typeset and format things in Mediawiki properly

Code

Inline code can by represented with <code></code>
Code blocks should be like:

<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">
// ... my code here
</syntaxhighlight>

Math

Math is written in standard latex syntax inside of <math></math>.

• Beware: Do not use ||, use \Vert instead.

Importing Templates From Wikipedia

Link

1. Go to Wikipedia's Special:Export
2. Type in the templates you want. E.g.

Template:Key press
Template:Key press/doc

3. Check include templates and download the file
4. Go to your wiki's Special:Import
5. Import the file.

Restricting Access

The best way to restrict access is to create a separate wiki.
However, there are extensions to do page-level and user-level restrictions.
See Mediawiki:Category:Page_specific_user_rights_extensions
One such extension is IntraACL.
