Tutorial: Organizing wiki content using MediaWiki
In this article series by Jeff Orloff and Mizanur Rahman, authors of MediaWiki 1.1 Beginner's Guide , we will learn how to organize our content by creating namespaces that allow us to group pages with similar purposes together, and we learn how to use categories to group pages with similar content together. It also teaches us about redirecting, moving, and swapping pages around so that we can ensure when a visitor comes to our site, they find the information they are looking for because the page titles will match up with page's content. MediaWiki has many built-in features that will not only help us keep our content organized, but make it extremely easy to do this.
In this article, we will learn how to make use of these tools including:
- How we can create Namespaces
- How to create Categories
- How to setup a Template for our users
- Why we would redirect a page
- How to move and swap a page
We have focused mainly on organizing content rather creating content in your wiki in this article. We assume you should have a few pages in your wiki. As our wiki grows in popularity, the amount of content it hosts will continue to grow so it is important to organize the content in your wiki so that our wiki looks better to our visitors and editing and reviewing content is much easier for our users. If we think of our wiki as a library, it is easy to see why we need to organize our wiki. After all, if you walk into a library with no system for organizing the books, movies, music, periodicals, and others you would find it hard to locate what you are looking for. Likewise, if we have no order in our wiki, then our visitors could find themselves frustrated when trying to find the information they are looking for. If they become too frustrated, they will go elsewhere.

Online Guide to Umbraco CMS for New Users
I have only now started paying attention to the Umbraco CMS. While they may call Umbraco the "friendly CMS", I'm not sure I'm aware of a single CMS that doesn't self-describe itself as the CMS to use. This is why I enjoy blog posts from actual users new to a CMS describing what they have learned about the software. In learning Umbraco, I'm glad I came across Lee Messenger's "A Complete Newbie's Guide To Umbraco CMS".
This post really is a beginners guide to Umbraco, I decided to put it together because when I first started messing around with Umbraco I had more than a few issues trying to get it installed due to not being able to find the right answers about a year or so ago (Or was it I was just being impatient) – And I’ll hold my hands up, I threw my toys out the pram and just gave up… Now I REALLY kick myself and WISH I had carried on.
There has also been some great movements in pushing Umbraco to the next level and making it easier than ever to use. Now I’m no professional or avid blogger, so don’t expect miracles… this is sort of a guide/my own learning journey over the past 4 months all thrown together in one post. My only aim for this post is to try and give anyone looking to get into Umbraco and real life example and reference from someone doing the same thing.
