  == WikiWikiWeb ==
! A WikiWikiWeb is a collaborative hypertext environment, with an emphasis on easy access to and modification of information. This wiki is also part of the InterWiki space.

! You can edit any page by pressing the link at the bottom of the page.  Capitalized words joined together form a WikiName, which hyperlinks to another page.  The highlighted title searches for all pages that link to the current page.  Pages which do not yet exist are linked with a question mark (or a different rendering in bold red): just follow the link and you can add a definition.

  You are encouraged to edit the WikiSandBox whichever way you like. Please restrain yourself from editing other pages until you feel at home with the ways a wiki works.

! To learn more about what a Wiki:WikiWikiWeb is, read about Wiki:WhyWikiWorks and the Wiki:WikiNature''''''. Also, consult the Wiki:WikiWikiWebFaq and Wiki:OneMinuteWiki.

That is also the way to create a new page: add a new WikiName to an existing page, save your modification, click on your new link and create the page (more details on HelpOnPageCreation).

! This wiki is also part of the InterWiki space, which means you can easily refer to a wealth of information available through other public wiki sites.

   * TitleIndex: a list of all pages in the wiki
   * WordIndex: a list of all words that are part of page title (thus, a list of the concepts in a wiki)
+  * SiteNavigation: a page leading to the different indexing schemes of the wiki
   * WikiSandBox: feel free to change this page and experiment with editing

  A WikiName is a word that uses capitalized words. WikiName''''''s automagically become hyperlinks to the WikiName's page. What exactly is an uppercase or lowercase letter is determined by the configuration, the default configuration works for Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) characters. See below for how to handle Asian, Hebrew and other non-western character encodings.

! The highlighted page title (i.e. HelpForBeginners on this page) shows a list of all pages that link to the current page.  It even works on pages that are not defined yet.

! A question mark after a link, or a different rendering in bold red, means that the page is not defined: you can click the question mark to offer a definition (e.g., NoSuchPageForReal). If you click on such a link, you'll see a default page that you can edit; only after you save the page will it be created for real.

! To ''escape'' a WikiName, i.e. if you want to write the word Wiki''''''Name without linking it, use an "empty" bold sequence (a sequence of six single quotes) like this: {{{Wiki''''''Name}}}.

  MoinMoin marks the InterWiki links in a way that works for the MeatBall:ColourBlind and also is MeatBall:LynxFriendly by using a little icon with an ALT attribute. If you hover above the icon in a graphical browser, you'll see to which Wiki it refers. If the icon has a border, that indicates that you used an illegal or unknown BadBadBad:InterWiki name (see the list above for valid ones). BTW, the reasoning behind the icon used is based on the idea that a Wiki:WikiWikiWeb is created by a team effort of several people.

+ InterWiki links are a quick way to refer to information in other wikis, without having to remember
+ cryptic URLs. To write an InterWiki link, just use the InterWiki moniker of the foreign wiki, 
+ followed by a page name on that wiki. 
+ Of course, InterWiki links are not rendered differently when the remote page does not exist, and
+ MoinMoin cannot check whether you followed the rules for WikiName``s of the other wiki.
+ So double-check what you type.
+ See the wiki:MeatBall/InterWiki page on wiki:MeatBall:MeatballWiki for further details.
