How can I find my way around the wiki?

There are a number of ways of finding your way around the wiki, why not try them all?

Using the navigation menus

At the top and on the left hand side of each page there is a navigation menu. The one at the top of pages gives links to the more general areas of the wiki while the one on the left hand side of pages gives links to various subject areas. At the bottom of the left hand menu is an area which changes with context so links relevant to the current page may appear here (and those which aren't relevant may disappear!).

Using the Site Map

On the menu at the top of each page is a link to the site map. This gives a hierarchical view of the wiki showing how all the pages link together from the front page downwards. It's a bit like a tree: the front page is the trunk and the linked pages are connected and fan out like the branches and leaves (or roots depending on whether you are thinking up or down!).

Using the breadcrumbs

Funny name I know but this is the term used for the links which appear towards the top of each page under the top menu bar e.g.

Welcome to the INEBG Wiki » Food & Drink » Recipes » Drinks » Fresh Lemon Cordial

Reading from the left, each item is the parent of the next item in the tree structure of the site map. So once you have found your way to a particular wiki page you can easily identify where in the wiki you are and easily jump to one of the parent pages using the breadcrumbs link.

Using tags

Any wiki page can be tagged with one or more words significant to the content of that page. These tags are then displayed towards the bottom left of the page e.g.

page tags: drink food recipe

The tags are actually links so if you click on one you'll be taken to a page listing all other pages with that same tag and a list of all tags used within the wiki. The relative sizes of the tags within this list show the relative frequency of use of that tag within the wiki. Click on any tag to see a list of all pages tagged with that tag.

Another way of reaching this page listing all the tags is using the Page Tags link in the left hand menu bar.

Using the site search

At the top right hand corner of every page there is a search box. Enter your search criteria, press search and the wiki will do its best to find what you want!
