CNM Cyber suites

Management of Wikipages (hereinafter, the Lectio) is the lesson part of Wiki Editing Essentials lesson that introduces its participants to wiki edit concepts. This lesson belongs to the CNMCT Entrance section of the CNM Cyber Placement.

Content

The predecessor lectio is What Wiki Edits Are.

Script

There are two ways to create a new wikipage at CNM Wiki. First, you can type the new page title in the search bar. If the page doesn't exist, CNM Wiki would offer you to create a new page. Secondly, you can create a link and, if this link is displayed as red, your click on that link would allow you for new page creation.

WorldOpp Middleware provides CNM Wiki with two federated roles; they are any user and registered user.

Any user can read, but cannot edit wikipages.

A registered user can edit non-protected wikipages, restore the deleted pages, undo wiki edits, create new pages, and upload files. Registered users cannot delete pages, but can redirect one page to another while posting this script:

#REDIRECT [[Title of the page this script would redirect to]]

The landing and few other pages of CNM Wiki are protected from registered user's editing. Only users with sysop roles can edit them. Sysops can also delete pages. Sysop roles are not federated, they should be assigned locally within CNM Wiki.

One sysop, however, cannot assign any sysop role. Only those users who have the bureaucrat role can do that. At the same token, bureaucrats cannot do those editing what sysop can.
