So, you want to create your own wiki? Whether you are a professional wiki developer who makes a living creating wikis, the leader of a group who wants a group website and a place to meet your members, a hobbyist who wants a space for your ideas, or you have a business that needs to have an easy way to collaborate effectively and efficiently then you have come to the right place. Wikidot can help you build the wiki you want or need.
Wikidot Community
Wikidot is much more than a great wiki host, it is a community of amateurs and professionals whose passion is building websites using wikidot software. We like people to ask questions and we like to give answers. If you ever need help with anything, you will always find people willing to take the time to help you in the community forum. We're a patient, helpful bunch.
How Can We Help You?
The first thing you should do is introduce yourself. New members are always warmly welcomed, especially complete novices with no wiki experience. When you introduce yourself, you should tell us a little about yourself and what kind of wiki you would like to make. That way we have enough information to help you get started.
Go ahead and do this now. We have a forum reserved so you can ask us How May We Help You?
Because the community admins are spread right round the world this means we have 24 hour a day support system, so you will normally get a very fast response to any questions you have, whatever time of day or night you post them.
Getting Help
There are several steps to getting help in a quick and efficient way:
- Have a look at the Getting help page which holds a lot of links to more help information (reminder: this link can also be found on the left menu or on the top menu).
- Check the official documentation.
- You can perform a search on the keywords you are looking for:
- in our Glossary.
- in the search box in the upper right hand corner of that page.
- in the search box of the Search Center, the link on the left side menu.
- in the "Tag Cloud" on the left side menu, and if the keyword is not here you can use the Entire Tag Cloud, it is the link at the bottom of the left side menu.
- Read what you find thoroughly. This critical first step is important. You will find most of your questions answered in the official documentation. If you can't find what you are looking for, or cannot understand what you read (it happens), then proceed to the next step.
- Take a look at the guide for "Confused First-timers".
- Have a look on our community pages. You will find links on the Top & Side menus to some of our pages. With the exception of some "admin:" pages, you can always read the source of our pages to see how we have built them – via the "src" button on the left top of our side menu!

Helmut, I'm a native English speaker and I don't know either! It sounds very religious.

Found their page : Canonicalise on sniki.org…
Canonicalization (pronounced KAH-nahn-nihk-uhl-ih-ZAY-shun or just c14n) in simple words is telling search spiders that "www.yourdomain.com" = "yourdomain.com" and not two different sites. If you don’t Canon..ze your domain, search spiders will consider it as two different sites and get confused as to which site should be awarded the page rank.

Search engines haven't quite figured out that wiihd.wikidot.com and wiihd.fortunz.com and wiihd.net are all the same site. Various sites across the internets link to all three. This is a good question.
Thank you for the info. There is a great deal to explore and to learn about this site.
Did you mean canonical issue. A canonical issue arises when 301 redirects are not properly in place. This means that your website can be accessed by search engines from several different URLs like https:wwwdomain.com or www.domaim.com This means that search engines can then potentially index your site under different URLs, meaning that it will look like a site of duplicated content. That's mean your site is canonicalise.
please define canonicalise, so someone can help you?
I made a website using this, but I am not able to customize it, can you tell me about it? Is it paid or free?
1. You are welcome! Please do not post external links to your business site(SEO-technic) with a free account, the spam-filter will remove the site, your posts and your account soon.
2. Posting to an 9 year old thread looks like you are a spammer.
3. Signature to your business site looks you are a spammer… ( with a free account !)
Wikidot has a learning curve which is heavy to solve… but fast in success. read the howto's.. the handbook…
post a link to your business site with a free account and the spam filter will delete your site, your account and posts too.

Hola.. hasta aquì llego.. no se que hacer-….
ALGUIEN QUE POR FAVOR ME AYUDE.. QUE PERMISO TENGO QUE DAR A MIS COMPAÑEROS…
COMO ELLOS ME PUEDEN ENCONTRAR…
COMO HAGO PARA SABER SI ELLOS TIENEN OTRA CUENTA,
COMO LOS VEO A ELLOS..
AUXILIOOOO.
Hola, Yaneth, y bienvenida!
Primero, no escribas con todas las letras mayusculas, en Internet esto no está bien visto, porque se identifica con gritos. Segundo, intenta hablar inglés, porque aquí hay gente de muchos países y la lingua franca aquí es inglés. No es que haya aluna regla de que aquí tiene que hablarse sólo inglés, pero te lo recomiendo pque así obtendrás ayuda mucho más ràpido. Y tercero, define mejor qué es lo que te preocupa, de esta manera obtendrás una respuesta mucho más exacta.
Ahora a tu pregunta:
QUE PERMISO TENGO QUE DAR A MIS COMPAÑEROS...
Para que otra gente pueda hacerse miembro de tu web site, lo mejor es que hagas tu site abierto (Open), y pongas el boton Join en la página principal.
Lo primero lo haces:
Site Manager » Access policy » Open » Save
Entonces, edita tu pagina principal, copia y pega este código:
[[module Join]]
Tus amigos solo tienen que darle al botoncito, y seguir instrucciones para abrir una cuenta en wikidot. Con eso, ya directamente también se hacen miembros de su página web.
COMO ELLOS ME PUEDEN ENCONTRAR...
Les das la direccion de tu web.
COMO HAGO PARA SABER SI ELLOS TIENEN OTRA CUENTA,
Otra cuenta, ¿dónde?
COMO LOS VEO A ELLOS..
No sé a qué te refieres. Explícalo.
Espero que te ayude.
Saludos,
B.

Ok people, i have no idea what to do, i am a newb and i need help!! plz somebody!! idk maybe i'll find out but idk
same here dude. neither do i. do you have any idea what a "karma " is?
http://www.wikidot.com/doc:karma
or in the
http://www.wikidot.com/more:explore-features :
KARMA
Karma is an indicator of user's engagement and experience. It looks like a battery charge indicator :) It starts highlighting bar from the bottom (light green) to the top (red). The highest karma level (red) indicated that user is very advanced and experienced — a Wikidot Guru. You can disable karma indicator if you don't want to show it or you can choose if it should be displayed on your Site (if you will set "no" — all users on your site will not have the karma indicator displayed next to their avatar).

See the wiki syntax reference guide:
[[image image-source size="large"]]
[[image image-source size="medium"]]
[[image image-source size="small"]]
[[image image-source size="square"]]
[[image image-source size="thumbnail"]]You can also explicitly define the width and/or height:
[[image image-source width="250px"]]
[[image image-source height="400px"]]http://doitbefore.wikidot.com/
I can understand how to add pages automatically to the glossary?
Please help!
Carla
You can list pages automatically using the ListPages module. The documentation is at http://www.wikidot.com/doc:listpages-module.
But to use this effectively you should either rename your pages so that they are in a category or add tags to each page.
Category method
You would need to change the name of your pages so they were in a category, for example chocolate. So your pagename would be chocolate:choc-fudge, chocolate:choc-tart etc. The ListPages module syntax would then be something like this:
[[module ListPages order="name" category="chocolate" separate="false" prependLine="||~ Page ||" appendLine="||~ ||"]]
|| %%title_linked%% ||
[[/module]]
[[/div]]Tags Method
I recommend you use categories as this is a good way to structure your site and make it easier to manage. But if you don't want to do this you can also use tags. See the Tags button at the bottom of your page. So you could tag a page food for example, then the ListPages module would look something like this:
[[module ListPages order="name" tags="food" separate="false" prependLine="||~ Page ||" appendLine="||~ ||"]]
|| %%title_linked%% ||
[[/module]]
[[/div]]The ListPages module will put all the pages in automatically that meet the category or tag attribute. But it will be one long list. To split it into separate columns you would need to use CSS for this. Have a look at an example of a multi column ListPages module on my page at http://www.strathviewconsultants.co.uk/support:multi-column-table where you will also see the code used.

I thought this page was about PHP Help, but it must be a misdirected link or something as I don't see anything to do with PHP on this page
