Main:Getting started with the Wiki: Difference between revisions

If you've used Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org), you've used the software that's also used by Memento for its Wiki. It's called MediaWiki. It's the predominant implementation of the use of ''hypertext'' to document any universe of knowledge. This means Web pages containing information about topics named by their page titles, which are linked together and indexed for ready access by users. Users of Wikipedia will feel at home in the Wiki, though there are a few differences.

The Wiki depends on the Main Page to index the user into the various parts of the Wiki. Searching the Wiki, though supported, is not well-suited for the Wiki, since the Wiki is under active development by the WikiTeam, which has yet-to-be-released pages and older, obsolete pages lying around, so searching the Wiki will result in quite a few extraneous results. You're welcome to try searching, if you like, but you may have to wade through the results a bit.
