Wiki Research Notes
- Evaluating additional resources to potentially install.
Extensions
- Add your own Flash video.
- This extension allows page authors to protect pages from non-authors on a page-by-page basis. Can also assign author rights via GroupPermissions to Bureaucrats to facilitate copy editing and other maintenance tasks to articles in which rights are assigned to a particular author.
- Just put __NOTITLE__ on any pages where you want to hide the title.
- BrettCrumbs is a play on words for BreadCrumbs Navigation. This form of navigation assumes that you have created your wiki pages in a hierarchy based on the forward slash ("/") character.
