A wiki is a website or collection of web pages that allows people with access (wiki members) to collaborate and share information with each other. Wikis use a simple wiki markup language that means a wiki is typically easier to manage & update than standard websites using HTML. Wikipedia is probably the most well-known example of a wiki.

UTAS uses Atlassian Confluence software for wikis and there are currently two wiki platforms available: Knowledge Base and UTAS Wikis.

Knowledge Base

Knowledge Base is an an internal wiki for UTAS staff used primarily as a knowledge management tool.

Links (authentication required):

• Knowledge Base website
• Knowledge Base User Documentation

Note:

You will need VPN to access the above links outside the UTAS network.

UTAS Wikis

UTAS Wikis have been created to enable staff, students and external users to work together on projects. View a demonstration wiki to see examples of how a wiki may be customised for different purposes.

If you would like to create and use a wiki complete the Wiki Request Form.

For general information on wikis view Wiki Help & Hints.
