The Zotero Wiki
This webpage is part of the Zotero wiki, the primary resource for Zotero documentation. The Zotero wiki is a DokuWiki wiki, and just as with Wikipedia, anyone is welcome to make improvements.
Wiki Sections
The Zotero wiki has three main sections:
Most of the wiki pages that are accessible from the wiki start page belong to the general user documentation. These pages form the Zotero manual. The most important task of this part of the wiki is to describe how to install Zotero and use its features.
The developers section contains information for developers who want to contribute to or built onto the Zotero ecosystem (consisting of the Zotero client, translators, localization, documentation, CSL styles, the Zotero API, etc.).
The knowledge base is a collection of wiki pages that each discuss either a frequently asked question, or a subject concerning Zotero that is of relatively rare interest. The tangential (and often brief) nature of these articles make them a great place to get familiar with documenting Zotero. If a question keeps coming up in the forums, create an article for it and link to it in future forum threads. To add a wiki page to the knowledge base, include the “kb” tag at the bottom of the page:
{{tag>kb}}
Editing the Wiki
Creating a Wiki Account
Editing the Zotero wiki requires a wiki account, which you can obtain at the wiki registration page (a wiki account is not the same as a Zotero account).
Logging in
Once you have a wiki account, you need to be logged in to the wiki to be able to edit and create pages. You can log in from any wiki page by appending “?do=login” to the page's URL (e.g. by visiting http://www.zotero.org/support/?do=login ).
Editing Pages
Once you are logged in, you can edit a page by clicking the edit page button that appears at the bottom of a page or section. You can read up on the wiki syntax at http://www.zotero.org/support/wiki/syntax.
Creating New Pages
To create a new page simply type in the URL where you want your page to reside. If no page exists at that location, you will be told “This topic does not exist yet”. Click the “Create this page” button to create the page.
