Navigating Your Wiki

The Main Page (Visit)
At the heart of your Wiki is the Main Page, which, if structured properly, will serve as the access hub to all of your articles and information. On it you should probably put a brief table of contents, or links to the most important routing pages in the Wiki (e.g., a table of contents may contain links to an "About Us" page, a list of the Orders of the Class Scyphozoa, a page with links to other important sites, or any number of things.)


Community Portal (Visit)
The Community Portal is useful for getting your viewers involved with contributing to the site. You might want to post information about media you'd like for viewers to upload, or what kinds of contributions are helpful. This is also a good place to post link to other helpful informational sites about the subject at hand.
