Cheatsheet discrepancy
I was disconcerted to find that the Wikipedia Cheatsheat as recommended in the tutorials, has a discrepancy as compared with the WikiEducator formatting in the headings. Are there any other differences? Where can one find the list of formatting applicable to this platform? This seems to be a general issue as there was a question in another place about the coding for text colours. Thanks in anticipation. --Brendan Smith 10:46, 5 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Brendan -- we use the same software engine Mediawiki (as in the case of Wikipedia). The syntax for heading levels is the same for both wikis. However there are slight differences in the CSS we deploy on this wiki due to unique aspects of educational materials. Over time WikiEducator has developed its own set of pedagogical templates which are not deployed in Wikipedia - but the same technology (Mediawiki) is used to create these templates and can easily be copied across the wiki platforms. Also not a discrepancy as suggested above ;-) -- if you compare the wiki syntax in your examples, you will see it differs!. In addition, WikiEducator has the option of using a rich editor, which is currently not available on WP. --Wayne Mackintosh 02:11, 6 September 2010 (UTC).

Working on a Wiki with a collaborator
I am wondering, how do I invite my colleague/friend to collaborate with me on a project?

If non of the above applies and you would like to create a project on this open educational platform, I would suggest you join our WikiEducator Main Mailing list online. Have a look at the WikiEducator Discussion forum here. Warm wishes--Patricia Schlicht 23:24, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I am not sure who you are but I need you to be a bit more specific with your question? Is your friend a WikiEducator? Is s/he part of this training. Feel free to elaborate and I am happy to help you.
