This is a very brief summary of the most basic functionality of the Mediawiki platform, the same that powers Wikipedia. A more through description can be found here

==Basic text editing==
+
−
 
+
−
These are the basic formating options for writing in '''bold''' or ''italic''
+
−
<pre>
+
−
''this text should appear in italic''
+
−
'''This text should appear in bold'''
+
−
''''This is bold and italic''''

</pre>

+
−
==Create a new page==
+
−
There are 2 basic ways:
+
−
 
+
−
#Search for the new page in the search box (in the left of the page) – if the term does not exist it will allow the creation of this page, by pressing the link "You can create this page"
+
−
#When editing a page, inserting a link to a specific definition (see below, even if the page does not exist, will allow the creation of this new page by following the link.

==Editing a page==
+
−
 
+
−
These are some of the more common formatting issues
+
−
 
+
−
===Section headings===
+
−
 
+
−
To define a heading for a section just use the "=" sign to specify the heading level
+
−
 
+
−
<pre>
+
−
= Heading 1 =  (best not to use it)
+
−
== Heading 2 ==
+
−
=== Heading 3 ===
+
−
...
+
−
</pre>
+
−
 
+
−
===Bullets and numbered lists===
+
  
−
The basic syntax involves the use of "*" and "#"

The main idea of the wiki site is to provide a repository in which to store information related to Decision Support Tools for Forest Resources.

*  a bulleted item

−
** a bulleted item in another level
+
−
# - an item in a numbered list
+
−
## an item in a numbered list in level 2
+
−
</pre>
+
  
−
===Tables===
 
−
Each table begins with "{|" and ends with "|}" in separate lines. Columns are separated with "||" and  a new row starts with "|-" in a new line. Table headings start with “!” for the first column or "!!" for the remaining columns . To add a border, the first line should be "{| - border ="1" ". Here’s a simple example:
 
−
<pre>
 
−
{| border ="1"
 
−
!Letter !! Number
 
−
|-
 
−
|Aleph || 1</nowiki>
 
−
|-
 
−
|Beth ||2
 
−
|}
 
−
></pre>
 
  
−
==Links==
+
__TOC__
  
−
===Internal links===
 
  
−
Links to the internal wiki can be specified by enveloping the relevant words with <nowiki>"[[" and "]]"</nowiki>. If an alternate text is to be presented it appears separated by a <nowiki>"|"</nowiki>. Example:
+
== DSS ==
 +
The current list of described DSSs is here available: [[:Category:DSS|List of DSSs]]
  
−
<pre>The [[fast | quick]] brown [[fox]] jumps over the lazy [[dog]]s</pre>
+
The following form is used to describe a new DSS: [[:Form:DSS|DSS Form]]
−
+
−
===Outer links===
+
  
−
Links to outside pages. Just typing the full http link is enough for an outside link. If alternate text is required, It is enough to use simple square brackets and whaite space as as a separator. Example
+
Further information can be found under: [[DSS_description_Handbook]]
  
−
<pre>You can use [http://www.google.com this search engine] to find the information requested</pre>
+
== Case ==
 +
The current list of described Cases is here available: [[:Category:Case|List of Cases]]
  
−
==Sub-pages==
+
The following form is used to describe a new Case: [[:Form:Case|Case Form]]
  
−
Several systems may be composed of subsystems. Sub-pages allow for a given topic to be subdivided in several independent sections that automatically ling to the parent. To add a sub page, the procedure is similar to adding a link, including a slash to indicate the sub-page. Example
+
Further information can be found under: [[Case Handbook]]
  
−
<pre>The Caribbean system is divided into two main modules:  
+
== Lesson ==
−
* [Caribbean/SHRIMP | SHRIMP], for growth and yield prediction;
+
The current list of described Lessons is here available: [[:Category:Lesson|List of Lessons]]
−
* [Caribbean/OYSTER OYSTER] for management modeling
+
−
</pre>
+
  
−
==Categories==
+
The following form is used to describe a new Lesson: [[:Form:Lesson|Lesson Form]]
  
−
Pages can be grouped into Categories. A page can have several categories and a category can include several pages. To add a Category it is just necessary to include the tag  <nowiki>[[Category:my_category]]</nowiki> anywhere on the text. Categories will appear in the bottom of the page. Inserting a non-existent Category, will link to a page allowing for its definition
+
Further information can be found under: [[Lesson Handbook]]
  
−
Categories can be further grouped into super categories, by inserting another Category tag into  the text of a Category. Examples:
+
== Forest planning problem type (country reports) ==
 +
The current list of Forest planning problem types is here available: [[:Category:Forest planning problem type|List of Forest planning problem types]]
  
−
Examples:  
+
The following form is used to describe a DSS: [[:Form:Forest planning problem type|Forest planning problem type Form]]
  
−
In the Caribbean System ™ the Optimization process uses Simulated Annealing: [[Category:Simulated Annealing]] and Simulated Annealing is a Meta heuristic, so we might in the definition of Simulated annealing Category, specify that it belongs to the Optimization meta-heuristics ([[Category: Optimization meta-heuristics]])

Introduction

This is a the basic User's Guide for entering and editing Decision Support Systems (DSS), Case Studies, Lessons Learned and Country Reports. The purpose of this document is to provide users a method for entering the required information for each system.

Associated with this document is another which covers the basic procedures for creating and editing wiki text. Users with little or no experience in inserting information in media wiki, should start there, to understand the foundations of wiki text editing. In this page it will be covered the specific aspects for entering DSS information

The main idea of the wiki site is to provide a repository in which to store information related to Decision Support Tools for Forest Resources. This repository, thanks to the nature of the wiki tool used will be dynamic, continuously evolving over time. It will serve also as a storage point of a controlled vocabulary or ontology on Decision Support Tools
