This is a significant version upgrade and has an effect on how pages are displayed and edited. For Information regarding the changes to Confluence in version 4.2.8 refer to the following pages, which show and describe the new Confluence 4 editor.

The Tips on the NCI Wiki show wiki markup, which you can use as a guide to completing the macro dialogs in the new editor. You can also insert wiki markup in the new editor.

Demonstrations of Confluence 4.2 are also available.

The following issues have been identified:

  • The Calendar plugin has been deprecated for Confluence 4.2.8 and has been replaced with Team Calendars. Refer to Creating a New Team Calendar.
  • Links to sections on the same page made in the form

    [#Heading]

    show the # in the text.

  • Some macros migrated from 3.5 are surrounded by paragraph breaks after the page is saved in Confluence 4.2.8 for the first time. This happens frequently with multi-excerpt includes.
  • To put characters used in wiki markup in your text, type the character. For a pair of characters such as square brackets, enter the characters and then press the back arrow and enter the text. For example, the following was entered in this way: [This is not a  link.].

Once the upgrade is complete, please look over your most often used pages and spaces and, if you have an issue, create a ticket by sending email to Application Support. App Support will answer or forward your question.

Requirements

Requirements

You must not merge cells in tables. Merged table cells are not Section 508 compliant. You must enter meaningful information in each cell, as blank cells are not Section 508 compliant. Repeat data in each cell to which it applies. Indicate "none" or "not applicable" where appropriate.

Alt text must be included for every image posted on the wiki.

In Confluence 4.2, provide a caption and describe the important aspects of the image in the text. The writers will add alt text in the XHTML editor.

A link to a disclaimer must be included for every link posted to a site external to the US Government. In Confluence 4.2, the writers will add the disclaimers in the XHTML editor.

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. It will continue to work if the page title is changed.
  • No labels
