Keep in mind the site will be under constant development. Wikis require a bit of learning to get started, but with a bit of dedication, you can take part by editing pages, adding categories, and so on here and on other wikis. We'll stay on top of changes to make information easy to find.
* regular pants


== How do I navigate the wiki? ==
* 2 convertible pants


From the front page, you can click on a featured artist photo and be taken to their page. You can view artist events by date by browsing the calendar, and even add events to your Google, Apple or other calendar using the iCal link.
* swimsuit


Once on a page, you can click on the page's categories to see all other pages in that category, for example other artists in the same city. We'll be adding major categories and guiding pages to the left-hand menu to help you navigate.
* 3 tshirts


You can also follow the "site life" by clicking on the [[Special:RecentChanges|recent pages]] link, a page's history link, and user pages, when available.
* 3 button shirts


== Why would I create my own User page? ==
* long sleeve shirt


User pages are separate from normal pages in that they represent an site user's page, rather than a page create for some one. If you're an artist or organization, you can manage your own page. First create an account using your full name. Then go to the existing page, click edit, copy the wiki text, then click on your User page (the first link on the very top of the page), then paste the text. Once that's done, you can go back to the original page, and "move" it (using the menu) to point to your User page.
* 4 travel underwear kit


Anyone, not just artists, can also add their own wiki pages, if you edit the site you're encouraged to do so.
* 3 pairs travel socks


== How do I create pages? ==
* personal/laundry soap, toothbrush, floos, toothpaste, deodorant, sun screen, facial cream, foot cream, bug repellent Deet


There are three ways to add pages. The first two involve forms, the third is standard wiki pages. Remember when adding pages, '''every page must have a unique name.''' So don't call your event "Dance party," call it "Central Calgary Dance Party Spring 2012." If you see someone else's data on a form you're editing, start again with a unique name.

=== Add an artist ===
* hostel bed sheet


Add an artist or group entry: {{#forminput:Person}}
* disinfectant (sanitizer), wipes

* toilet paper, tissues


=== Add an event ===
* laptop power supply, plug converter


Add an event: {{#forminput:Event}}
* power bars

== Day pack ==


=== Adding wiki pages ===
* light weight fleece


To add a simple Wiki page, you can either create a link to it from another page (see [[Help:Editing]] or enter it's name in the search box, hit enter, then click on the link to create the new page. Don't forget to add your page to a category or link to it from relevant places so it can be found.
* 1/2 first aid kit, malaria drugs, etc..


Keep in mind you can view how any page was created by clicking its Edit or Show source link.
* laptop


=== Adding media (images, documents, etc) ===
* camera?


It's a little more complicated, but the same process once you get the hang of it. When logged in, you'll see a link to [[Special:Upload|Upload file]] on the left menu. Click that link, upload your media, and make a note of its file name. If it's called My picture.png, you can include it in any document with this syntax: <nowiki>[[File:My picture.png]]</nowiki>. Note files must also have unique names. When uploading pictures, it's best to use the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images Image syntax], which also lets you control layout and size.
* flashlight


== Why and how do I create categories? ==
* swiss army knife


You can create your own categories as appropriate to add different dimensions to a page. A page may not just about an artist, it may also be about an artisan instrument maker, someone who immigrated to Canada, and so on. When added to a category, that page becomes part of a new category list. This page is part of [[:Category:Wiki documentation]], artist pages are in categories according to art, location, and so on.
* travel book


Add the wiki markup to the page that belongs in the category. For example, <nowiki>[[Category:My category]]</nowiki>. That will become a link that lists all pages in that category, including the one you're editing.
* pen


Categories can be reused. You don't need to add a new set of locations to a category about a topic, since categories can be joined in queries — Asian Heritage Month and Location categories, using [[#Using ask queries|Ask queries]], for example.
* spot for water bottle


You can add text to category pages as an introduction. Categories can be made sub-categories of other categories. Just add the parent category to the category page.
* rain pullover


You can list all categories on the site using [[Special:Categories|this page]].
* mp3 player, headphones (while traveling)


== Using ask queries ==
== misc ==


Since this is a semantic wiki, you can re-use content across the site using ask queries. Here's an example:
* hiking / city shoes


<nowiki>{{ #ask: [[Category:Toronto]][[Category:Literature]] }}</nowiki>
* sandals


Will list all the Toronto Literature artists, like this:
* hat


{{ #ask: [[Category:Toronto]]|[[Category:Literature]] }}
* sun glasses


Advanced options include adding information, and special views like maps and timelines.
* wind / rain coat


You can use these facilities in your own pages to create output that updates itself.
== Papers ==


== How can some content be featured on the front page ==
* Passport + photocopies of passport


* print itinerary


== ZoneAlarm problems ==
* print flights


<blockquote>
* print conference and hotel bookings
There is a Zone Alarm (Antivirus&Firewall) window that pops up saying that the website is suspicious, I tried to copy/paste it but didn't work.  The alert also says to avoid entering sensitive data. The pop up window does not detail anything else but it does have an icon that we can click on to stop the warning,  if we trust the site is safe.
There are no other details from Zone Alarm saying why the site is suspicious.
