Help and support

Within the wiki service itself all users have access to the Wiki Help & Guidance wiki where topics covered include:

Day to day support and advice

• Basic and advanced editing.
• Basic and advanced wiki administration.
• Best practice information for wikis in teaching, research and administration.
• Spaces where emergent best practice/experiences can be shared; over time building up a wiki knowledge base to support new wiki users.

There is also a Sandbox wiki play area to try out anything you like before 'doing it for real' within your own wiki area.

If the answer to your question is not available in the Help wiki you can contact the IS Helpline for further assistance.
