Editing User:Riegler/Decoding SIG on wiki

== Preface ==

* Last weeks crash of the wiki was caused by a operating system update )-:
* While repairing the system we updated the wiki. Hence a new look and feel (which is still unfamiliar to me).

== Accessing the wiki ==
The URL is http://decodingthedisciplines.de. We will switch to https in the course of 2025.

Anybody can read. Only signed up users can contribute. Only users classified as "researchers" can access restricted materials.

== Quick tour of the wiki ==
If you are new to the wiki take a couple of minutes and browse around.

Currently the following types of pages are in use:

* regular content pages such as [[Step 1 - Identify a Bottleneck to Learning]]. Most of them present a piece of literature such as [[How Many Sources Do I Need?]]
* category pages such as [[:Category:Mathematics]] currently only used for classifying literature (starting with "Category:" Note there is no blank behind the colon.)
* user pages such as [[User:Tblotevogel]] (starting with "Category:" Note there is no blank behind the colon.)
* material pages (technically File:) such as [[:File:Limits-transcripts-part1.rtf]]. You might not have access to this if access requires researcher-privileges.

== Creating User Accounts ==

* The wiki server is currently not configured to send emails (default security setting). Therefore I will create user accounts by hand. 
* Please write your name, email adress and desired user name in the chat.

== Editing pages ==

* There a two way to edit: visual editing and source editing. I recommend to use the first one.
* For some technical pages (e.g. Templates) only the latter is available.
* It is good practice on wikis to summarize edits ''shortly'' (e.g. "init",  "typo", "+ section on Creating pages", "- first paragraph", "saving work").
* Click on "This is a minor edit" if you did not change content substantially.

== Creating pages ==

* I will showcase this for a literature page.  
* Neumann, Friederike, “How does a Historian Read a Scholarly Text and How Do Students Learn to Do the Same,” in David Ludvigsson and Alan Booth, Enriching History Teaching and Learning: Challenges, Possibilities, Practice (Linköping Sweden: Linköping University, 2015), pp. 67-83.

== Things you might want to do to familiarize yourself with the wiki ==
Pair up in groups and pick a task.If you find the page blocked by someone else pick another task.

=== Content pages ===
#Review [[Emotional Bottleneck]] and add content if needed.  (e.g giving an  example seems to be appropriate)
#Review [[Bottleneck]] and add content if needed (e.g giving an  example seems to be appropriate)
#Browse the wiki and add missing pages to [[Pages needed]].
#In [[Name]] suggest a name for a formal Decoding community.
#Add information in [[Events]] about the next SIG meeting (Miriam? David?)
===Literature and References===
[[File:User Riegler Decoding SIG on wiki 1736858865127.png|thumb|300x300px|How to edit references by clicking on the  footnote refering to the reference.]]
#Complete the reference to Easton & Middendorf under "See also" on the [[Disrupting the Disciplines|Disrupting]] page.
# Create a page for this reference using the PublishedWork-Template. See [[How to decode student bottlenecks to learning in computer science]] as an example.
#Analogously to task 2: Add any item listed under [https://decodingthedisciplines.org/decoding-history/ Decoding History on the Decoding webpage] using the PublishedWork-Template. Before doing so, make sure that this wiki does not already contain this item by using "Find ..." on top of the wiki page.
#Link the literature stated under References on [[Decoding the Disciplines]] to their corresponding wiki pages. Hint: A good way to edit references is by clicking on the corresponding footnote rather than on the text within in the footnote (see figure).
