Thread:Project:Support desk/using mediawiki as a notebook How do you guys use it? (2)/reply (3)

First of all, you have to get your own MediaWiki install (Generally that means either installing it on your own server, or getting one from some web host). Wikis (like this one, or Wikipedia for example) generally already have a defined purpose, and don't want people using it as a notepad, hence you need your own.

From there, yes you essentially just add notes where-ever you want. Often people put all there notes on one page for easy access, or whereever. You can go to the page Special:Allpages to get a list of all pages on your wiki. You can also use categories to help organize the contents of your wiki.
