* Feel free to enter new content on [[phpCMS:Requested Articles|Requested Articles]] that haven't been created yet.

Our series of help pages for beginners is the place to start:

These pages may be useful to more experienced users:

  • Templates: A list of template texts that you may wish to include in pages.

News

  • 2005-01-07: Upgraded to version 1.3.9 of MediaWiki and fixed the upload system.

  • 2004-10-15: EvoWiki has been written up in a newspaper. See Megabits & Pieces by John Mitchell in the North Adams Transcript.
  • 2004-10-06: Upgraded to version 1.3.5 of the MediaWiki software. There will be few noticable changes in this upgrade.
  • 2004-09-26: The 2000th EvoWiki page has been created! The page is Argument from Silence by Thomas Kettenring, part of the encyclopedia of fallacies.

Older news is archived at EvoWiki:News.

Tip of the day

Get annoyed writing out the same piece of text on multiple pages? You can create your own template on a sub-page of your user page:

  • Add the link [[/TemplateName]] (where "TemplateName" is the name of your template) to your user page.
  • Add the text of your template to this new sub-page.
  • To add the template to a page, you simply have to add this code: {{subst:User:YourUserName/TemplateName}} (substituting your own user name and template page name).

For example, user:Steinsky has templates for textbook references:

  • {{subst:User:Steinsky/iGenetics}} becomes:
  • Russel, P.J., 2003. iGenetics. San Francisco: Benjamin Cummins.
