Managing Sidebar pages, deleting pages, and wiki settings 

 

 

Section 1: The Sidebar, Recent Activity and Quick Start pages

There are some pages on the right side of your wiki that automatically come with the wiki. 

• The sidebar page is useful if you want some information to display on every page of your wiki.
• The Recent activity page gives you a history of recent changes made to the page
• The Quick Start page provides helpful links to allow you to quickly add a new page or share your wiki with others.

Section 2: Editing and Deleting Sidebar Pages

To edit the sidebar pages, you will need to scroll down to the bottom of your wiki when you are NOT in edit mode.

Look for the Wiki Information section and select Show All pages.

You will be brought to the screen below:

To edit a sidebar page click on the Quick Start, Recent Activity or Sidebar links.  If you wish to revert to an older version of the page,

click on the revisions link.  If you wish to delete a wiki page or page on the sidebar, click on the Delete button of the appropriate page.

Section 3: Wiki Settings

There are some standard settings for your wiki that can also be changed.  To do so, click on settings at the top-right hand portion of the pbwiki webpage.

 In settings you can opt to apply skins to your wiki, change password key, publicize your wiki, enable RSS feeds for your wiki and more.
