This help is based on the layout of the MoinMoin modernized theme. If the modernized theme is not your current theme, the positions and labels of navigation controls may be slightly different. However, the functions of the individual controls will be the same.

Screen Layout

The screen layout contains the following parts (from top to bottom):

1. Page header
2. Navigation bar, a collection of tabs for quick links
3. Dynamic message box
4. Actions toolbar
5. Canvas for page rendering
6. Actions toolbar, same as part 4
7. Page bottom

The first four parts are the most important and will be introduced below.

Page Header

This part contains the following elements:

• Site logo (optional): it is also a link to the front page (home).
• User login:
  • not logged in: offers a link to log in
  • logged in: shows your user name (links to your home page), provides a link to user preferences (Settings) and a logout link.

• Search bar: allows you to search this site. The default button (you get it by hitting <ENTER>) does a title search. If you want to do a full text search, you need to click on the other button.

• Page path: shows the path of the page. Clicking on the page title link will show every page that refers this page. If it is a subpage, you can click on the parent page to go up.

• Page trail: lists the last five pages visited, so you can jump back several pages easily. You have to enable Kürzlich besuchte Seiten anzeigen (Verlauf) to see it.

Navigation Bar

This part is a collection of tabs for quick links. By default, there are three tabs:

• RecentChanges, links to a page to show recent modifications of the wiki

• FindPage, links to a page offering search and index functions

• HelpContents, links to main help page

Besides the default tabs, you can also add your favourite pages to this bar by clicking Verweis hinzufügen on each page or editing Expressverweise list in your user preferences.

Dynamic Message Box

This box is displayed when there are messages. You can click Nachricht löschen to close it or it will be closed automatically when you move to another page.

Actions Toolbar

This part is the links for the most often used functions:

• Editieren, allows you to edit the page

  • Depends on your user preferences, it may be Editieren (Text) and Editieren (GUI) to let you choose which editor to use

  • If you have no right to edit this page, Geschützte Seite is displayed instead

• Kommentare, toggles visibility of comments (appears only when the current page has comments, see HelpOnComments)

• Info, shows meta information about the page, especially the full version history

  • Show "Versionshistorie", shows revision history of the page

  • Show "Allgemeine Seiten-Informationen", shows general information of the page

  • Show chart "Seitenzugriffe und Änderungen", shows page hits and edits count

• Abonnieren/Abo aufheben, allows to subscribe or unsubscribe to email notifications for the current page

• Verweis hinzufügen/Verweis entfernen, allows to add/remove your favourite pages to/from navigation bar

• Dateianhänge, allows to manipulate attachments of the page

• Weitere Aktionen:, contains the following common functions:

  • Rohform, shows the source code of the current page

  • Druckansicht, shows a printable version of the page without the header or footer

  • Cache löschen, force the page to be recompiled

  • Rechtschreibung prüfen, invokes spelling checker

This toolbar is duplicated at the page bottom for convenience.
