+===== 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]].
-===== LaTeX Export ======
+==== Making a new page ====
-We have installed the "[[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:latexport|latexport]]" plugin, to allow you to export the contents of a page as a latex document. You can look at the specifics on that plugin's page, but the simple way to use it is to add ''&do=export_latexport_tex'' to the end of a page's URL. This will download a zip file including a file called ''aaa.tex''' and any required media files.
+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).
+==== LaTeX Export ====
+We have installed the "[[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:latexport|latexport]]" plugin, to allow you to export the contents of a page as a latex document.

This will download a zip file including a file called ''aaa.tex'' and any required media files.
+==== Markdown ====
 <markdown>
-## Markdown
+You can use markdown instead of dokuwiki syntax by wrapping your content in &lt;markdown&gt;...&lt;/markdown&gt; 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 [plugin documentation page.](https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:mdpage).
 </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.
+==== MathJax ====
+you can use mathjax by surrounding math with '' $'' and ''$ '':  $3\uparrow\uparrow\uparrow3$ . Unfortunately, this doesn't work inside markdown blocks, but it does work with LaTeX export.
+==== 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.}}]
+[{{:wiki:logo.png?direct|This is the AI Impacts Logo used in the site header.}}]
+This also turns their alt-text into a caption.
