Requirements

You must include alt text for every image you post on the wiki. The following syntax for alt text is used in Confluence 3.5:

!image.jpg|alt="image"!, where image.jpg is attached to the page and the alt text describes the image.

You must include a link to a disclaimer for every link you post to a site external to the US Government. The following markup for the link to the disclaimer, preceded by a space, is used in Confluence 3.5:

{multi-excerpt-include:wikicontent:Exit Disclaimer to Include|name=ExitDisclaimer|nopanel=true}

Updated instructions for these requirements will be posted for Confluence 4.2.

Using the Wiki

The goal of the wiki is to allow users to collaborate on developing documents and information. The architecture of the wiki is designed to make finding information easy, and is revised continually. Users are responsible for the accuracy of the information posted and for verification of information that they use. You can contribute content if you have an account (to request one, click the New Account link at the top of the page).

Important Notes

  • Do not copy the content of a wiki page to another wiki page. Include or link to the content.
  • Use the title of the page or the Tiny Link (not the URL displayed by the browser). The Tiny Link is a permanent link that is part of the info of a wiki page. It will work regardless of the number of edits performed.
  • No labels
