== What is the wiki ==
A wiki a collaborative editing environment that all PS:One member's have access to.
We use it for
* Votes/Vote proposals
* Meeting Agendas/ Meeting Notes
* Recording Policies
* Hosting the Bylaws
* Note Taking
* Systems Documentation
== Wiki Usage Guides ==
* [[How_to_write_a_vote]]
* [[Wiki_Editing]]
== Extra Features ==
=== WikiBot ==
The [[user:wikibot]] makes [[Special:Contributions/Wikibot edits]] the wiki automatically, making simple cleanups and doing link verification. It's running based of the Pywikibot software.
=== Sphinx Search ===
The default search in mediawiki does exact matching, but doesn't to lexicographical searches. We have [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SphinxSearch Sphinx Search] installed, along with indexing daemons that run hourly and nightly on the mediawiki server.
=== Visual Editor ===
The [[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor Visual Editor]] Is a feature Media Wiki has been working on for a while, but still isn't perfect. Most notably it breaks pretty hard on Equipment Pages.
We run a [[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid parsoid daemon]] in order to process mediawiki content into a form the Visual Editor can work with.
== Technical ==
The wiki is running MediaWiki's wiki software, the same as WikiPedia, along with some 3rd party extensions.
