Monitoring a Page
Make sure you are set to receive e-mail messages for page updates:
- At the top of any wiki page, click "my preferences"
- On the User Profile tab, check "E-mail me when a page I'm watching is changed" if this is not already checked
- If you made any changes to your preferences, click the "Save" button
Set monitoring for the page:
- Navigate to the wiki page you want to monitor
- Click the "watch" tab
When you are monitoring a page, you will receive an e-mail message whenever changes are made to that page. You may also go to "my watchlist" to see changes that have been made to wiki pages that you are monitoring.
Special NITRC Wiki Tags
Math
Math commands can be used on wiki pages. Simply embed your LaTeX math commands between <tex> and </tex> tags in your text. For example:
| <tex>x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}</tex> |
PubMed
You can easily pull in the citation to a PubMed article. This citation links to the actual article on the PubMed site. Simply embed the PubMed ID number between <pubmed> and </pubmed> tags in your text. For example:
| <pubmed>19184562</pubmed> | Luo, Xiao-zhong James, et al. Neuroimaging informatics tools and resources clearinghouse (NITRC) resource announcement. ''Neuroinformatics''. 2009 Spring; '''7''' (1):55-6. |
NITRC Pages
You can link to other NITRC pages on your wiki page by using the <nitrc> and </nitrc> tags in your text.
Summary Page
You can link to the Summary page for any tool or resource by using the unix group name or the group id for the "project" or "group" attribute of the tag. For example:
| <nitrc project="ontology"/> <nitrc project="10"/> <nitrc group="ontology"/> <nitrc group="10"/> | Resource Ontology Discussion Group |
Placing text between the opening and closing tags changes the link. For example:
| <nitrc group="ontology">Summary Page for Resource Ontology Discussion Group</nitrc> | Summary Page for Resource Ontology Discussion Group |
If you are in the main Wiki for a tool/resource group (not discussion pages), you can make a link to this group's Summary page using <nitrc/>.
| Note: The unix group name is in the URL of the tool/resource Summary page, while the group id is available in URLs for tool/resource features like the tracker, file releases, and documents. |
Linking to Documents
In order to link to a document, you need the group id (or unix name) for the "group" attribute and the document id for the "doc" attribute. For example:
| <nitrc group="ontology" doc="31"/> <nitrc project="10" doc="31"/> | Ontology Tools Survey Results |
| Note: To find the group id and document id, navigate to the Docs page and place your mouse pointer over the document name. The group id and document id are shown respectively in the URL in your browser status bar message. |
Linking to a File
To link to a file, you need the file id for the "file" attribute. For example:
| <nitrc file="20"/> | Image_Analysis_v3.pont |
| Note: To find the file id, navigate to the Files page and place you mouse pointer over the file name. The file id is shown in the URL in your browser status bar message. |
Linking to a Forum
You can link to a forum with the forum id for the "forum" attribute, a specific forum thread with the thread id for the "thread" attribute, and a specific forum message with the message id in the "message" attribute. For example:
| <nitrc forum="2"/> | open-discussion |
| <nitrc thread="149"/> | Funding Opportunities |
| <nitrc message="264"/> | RE: Funding Opportunities |
| Note: To find the forum id, navigate to the Forums page and place your mouse pointer over the forum name. To find the thread id, select a particular forum and place your mouse pointer over a thread name. To find the message id, select a particular thread and place your mouse pointer over the subject of the message. The forum id, thread id, or message id is shown in the URL in your browser status bar message. |
Linking to a Task
You can link to a task with the task id for the "task" attribute. For example:
| <nitrc task="522"/> | Test Entry |
| Note: To find the task id, navigate to a particular task subproject (To Do, Next Release, etc.). The task id is shown in the table to the left of the task item summary. |
Linking to a Tracker (bug)
You can link to a tracker item with the tracker id in the "tracker" or "bug" attribute. For example:
| <nitrc tracker="2926"/> | deleting docs within a project |
| <nitrc bug="2926"/> | deleting docs within a project |
| Note: To find the tracker/bug id, navigate to a particular tracker (Feature Requests, Bugs, etc.). The tracker id is shown in the table to the left of the tracker item summary. |
Creating Tabbed Pages
You can develop pages with tabs by creating a table with specific cell styles to mimic the look of tabs. Please refer to the MediaWiki Tabs page for an example.
