===== Editing the wiki =====


This section has tips and tricks for using this wiki. If you need additional help, you can contact [[wiki:users:bwr|Ben Weinstein-Raun]].

This wiki is an instance of Dokuwiki, and most basic information about it is available as dokuwiki documentation. For example, check out the page on [[wiki:syntax|Formatting Syntax]].

For technical information about how the wiki is hosted, see [[wiki:technical_details|Technical Details]].

==== Making a new page ====

To make a new page: 
  - make a link to the (non-existent) page from elsewhere, as if it did exist. Give it the right place in the hierarchy of categories using colons, e.g. 'speed_of_ai_transition:range_of_human_performance:time_for_ai_to_cross_the_human_range_in_english_draughts' (the 'internal link' button will mostly do this automatically if you search in it for the category immediately above your new page). 
  - Click on the new link. You should get to a page which says that the page does not exist. Click on the 'create this page' icon in the very far right tab (not the emboldened words in the main text).
==== Markdown ====

You can use markdown instead of dokuwiki syntax by wrapping your content in ''%%<markdown>...</markdown>%%'' tags. This should also allow you to import pages from tools that can export markdown, like Google Docs.

You can see more information on using markdown, including how to create wiki-internal links, on the [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:mdpage|plugin documentation page]].

==== MathJax ====

you can use mathjax by surrounding math with ''\('' and ''\)'': \(3\uparrow\uparrow\uparrow3\). Unfortunately, this doesn't work inside markdown blocks.

==== Image Boxes =====

You can put images in boxes by placing them in ''['' and '']'':

[{{:wiki:logo.png?direct|This is the AI Impacts Logo used in the site header.}}]

This also turns their alt-text into a caption.
