= Wiki configuation: within wiki itself (via sysop) - Changing the overall wiki appearance=


= Information about wiki software =
If you have sysop access to the wiki, you can easily change these settings.
 
Consult the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents User's Guide] for information on using the wiki software.
* [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings Configuration settings list]

= Mirrors =
 
* 'RECOUP web site style' view of this content (as live mirror):  http://www.ict4e.net/mirror_recoup/site/index.php (currently yslow grade D, ~ 57K for a small page)
* plain style (extra small!) http://www.ict4e.net/mirror_recoup/index.php (currently yslow grade A, ~ 14K for a small page)
* For comparison, the same page on the wiki itself has yslow grade F, ~ 85K.
 
Troublesome characters: The following high-ascii characters don't work well for the mirroring process, and have been fixed
* ‘single quotes’ (use ' instead)
* dash – dash (use - instead)
* “double quotes” (use " instead)

= Wiki configuration: server environment =
Quick facts.
* For details of this wiki install, see installed components, see [[Special:Version|Special:Version]].
* A number of extensions have been added, see below.
* The server site on a Cambridge University Computing Service 'Managed Web Server' called 'recoup'.
* Because the server is a UCS Managed Web Server, the DNS entry is also managed by the UCS. They set up manual.recoup.educ.cam.ac.uk as a subdomain, and the "www.manual" version has also been made to work, in case the url is mistyped.
* A mailing webmaster mailing list has been set up on the UCS mailing lists.
* A google analytics account has been set up.
