Reviews for MediaWiki Administrators' Tutorial Guide
5 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Though the version of the book is based on an older version, if you're new to using Mediawiki and using the latest version, the setup, installation and wiki creation process remains consistent.
The language is non-technical and not intimidating for new users, but technical knowledge is recommended if you're going to be installing the wiki. If have a need to understand the basic formatting within a new or existing wiki, the format of the book is instructional to help you get through the process of page creation, wiki structure and organization, through the use of an example wiki the author develops in the book.
