Sharepoint Services - How to create a page on Wiki


If you have not heard of Wikipedia.com, I would feel safe to assume that you have been living under a giant rock in the last ten years. This website has revolutionized the online encyclopedia. On second thought, have revolutionized the encyclopedia as a whole.

The wiki is a great way to exchange knowledge and I found it to be incredibly useful when you use it to improve my companies information sharing. Sharepoint Services really did a great job in adding this functionality to their platform.

So, here's how you create a wiki page in the SP system.

1. Login to your account SP. You must have administrator rights associated with your login information to complete this function.
2. After logging in, click the "Site Actions".
3. Subsequently, a drop down menu should appear with 3 options. Select the option "Create".
4. Now you want to find the voice that says "web pages". In this section there will be a box that says "Sites and Workspaces". Select the option.
5. Now there will be a page that asks you to name and describe your blog. Do it.
6. Now, here is the most important part so pay attention! On the page that asks you to name and describe your new blog, scroll down until you see a headline that says "Select Template". In that box headings, look right and you will see the following options:

Team Site
Blank Site
Document Workspace
Wiki Site
Blog

Obviously, you want to select the "Wiki Site" option.

7. Once you have done this, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "Create"

So, you're done! You've created the wiki within your very own Sharepoint Services system.

Now all you have to do is start adding the information that you want to share with the team ............ or add them .......
