Creating and editing wiki pages

  • You can create new pages and edit existing ones provided you have a user account. At the moment, only ATOMIX working group members have access as we begin organizing the information.
  • At the moment, only Category:Concept and Category:Fundamentals pages can be edited by ATOMIX working group members. These two categories use the same template/forms.

Peer-review and commenting

Eventually, we'll be accepting comments from the community when the processing steps will be delineated on the wiki. We're in the process of establishing the how and where, but "when" is in 2022.


For now, take a look at discussion page for help on threaded comments.

Tips and tricks

Beyond using the editor, there are a few tips for adding internal links, which are described on MediaWiki help.

  • The most important trick is the piped internal links. For example writing [[Turbulence spectrum| turbulence page]] which link the words turbulence page to an internal page called Turbulence spectrum.

Inserting special symbols and math

Wrap your Tex code with <math>\varepsilon</math> to render [math]\displaystyle{ \varepsilon }[/math]

Creating tables

Tables can be converted from a spreadsheet (or latex code) into a MediaWiki by copy and pasting it into this handy online tool using their file menu. You can also paste Mediawiki, markdown or HTML code into the tool. You can then manipulate the table's or cell's format and generate code in different languages (csv, standard excel tables, MediaWiki and TeX tables, and more).
