How to Use This Wiki

Creating a New Page

The simplest way to create a page is via the URL:

  1. Go to your browser's address bar
  2. Type: https://wiki.gi7b.org/index.php/Your_Page_Name
  3. MediaWiki will show "this page does not exist"
  4. Click the Create tab at the top
  5. Write your content and click Save page

Use underscores for spaces in page names. The title displays with spaces automatically.

Subpages

To create a page that belongs to a section, use a slash in the name:

https://wiki.gi7b.org/index.php/Open_Source/My_New_Guide

This creates My_New_Guide as a subpage of Open_Source. MediaWiki automatically adds a breadcrumb link back to the parent page.

Linking to Pages

Inside any wiki page, link to another page using double brackets:

Page Name
Display Text

External links:

Naming Conventions on This Wiki

Pages on this wiki follow a Topic-YYMMDD naming convention where the date identifies when the page was created or the work was done. Example: Claude_Code_Isolation_and_Burner_Workflow_260211.

Section index pages (this page, Open_Source, Repositories, etc.) are the exception — they have short, stable names with no date.
