When using a wiki for knowledge transfer in a company, users do not want to start on a blank page: emptiness can be overwhelming and is not motivating. To provide help for working with the wiki, administrators look at business subjects and derive a certain pre-defined structure, translated into templates, forms, categories, properties, i.e. the ontology. This structure is closely tied to the content and purpose of the wiki. We will examine best practices for defining this structure for content writing in the wiki, based on the findings of Mark Baker in “Every Page is Page One (EPPO)“.
The Enterprise MediaWiki Conference Spring 2018, or EMWCon Spring 2018, will be held March 21-23 in Houston, TX. EMWCon is a three-day conference featuring discussions of topics related to "Enterprise MediaWiki", i.e. the usage of MediaWiki software by and within companies, non-profits, governments, and other organizations. The intended audience of EMWCon Spring 2018 is anyone who uses, or would like to learn more about, MediaWiki within organizations.
This is the third EMWCon. EMWCon began as a spinoff of the Semantic MediaWiki Conference, or SMWCon, which is an annual conference held each fall in Europe. EMWCon and SMWCon are both three-day conferences with similar topics of discussion, though EMWCon has a broader scope.
