QuarkNet Fellows Library
From QNFellows
Welcome to the QuarkNet Fellows Library
(a part of Interactions in Understanding the Universe: I2U2)
This "library" is a wiki which provides the QuarkNet Fellows a place to work on e-Lab documentation and to share files.
The software used to run this site is called "MediaWiki". It's the same software used to run the Wikipedia (but not the same editorial policy).
Please be advised that this wiki may be merged or moved in the future. All of the content will be preserved, and you'll be redirected appropriately. We'll let you know when we are ready to make any move.
[edit] Getting Started
- Use the Help link in the sidebar to the left of every page if you need help.
- The Wiki Quickie page will tell you enough wiki markup to start editing pages.
[edit] Cosmic e-Lab

The working pages for the Cosmic e-Lab Fellows are at: Cosmic e-Lab.
The discussion forum for the Cosmic e-Lab is at: Cosmic Forum.
Every article in this library also has an "annotations" page where one can discuss the content of the page without changing that content.
[edit] Getting Around
There are several ways to get around this site to find what you are looking for:
- Use the sidebar links to the left to take a tour. You can browse the List of Articles, or look through the List of Categories or see a listing of Recent Changes.
- If you don't know the name of the article you seek, or if you want to search for a term within articles, then enter your search term in the "search" box and press "Search".
- If you know the name of the article you wish to visit, enter it in the search box and press "Go". If an article by that name does not exist then you'll get a search for it anyway, and you will also be given a link which would let you create the article.
[edit] Editing
- As long as you have an account on this wiki you can edit just about any page using the "edit" tab at the top of the page.
- To create a new page, search for it by the name you want to give it, using the "Go" button, and then follow the link to create the page.
- Uploading files, and linking to uploaded files, is described on the File Upload Help page.
- Each page has a "talk" page where you can comment on the article. Use the "annotations" tab to view (or create) the "talk" page.
- There is a "Help" link in the navigation box at the left of every page.
If you are not yet familiar with how to edit a wiki, a good place to start is the Wikipedia tutorial. The markup language used here is the same as that on Wikipedia.
[edit] Editing Style
Please see the Style Guide for details and suggestions regarding editing style for this glossary. The main idea is that it's just like the Wikipedia, but there are a few small differences for I2U2.
[edit] Tracking Changes
You can easily see what is new in this library by following the Recent Changes link in the navigation toolbar at the left of every page.
You can also get links to the latest changes via an RSS news feed. Simply to to the Recent Changes page and then follow the steps required to subscribe to the RSS feed for that page. (Instructions for various popular browsers may be found here -- anyone care to make such a page here?) You can then see what's new via RSS without even having to visit this site.
