Appropriate Uploads Only

Naming Files within the Wiki

Care should be taken when naming a file within the HPC and BD Wiki. Names should be chosen such that they provides a high degree of specificity for a file.

Example: Naming of the code for UCID's fix for some problem

• Clear: some.problem code fix UCID

• Unclear: Code fix

Linking Uploaded File to a Wiki Page

After successfully uploading a file, a link can be added to connect tat file to a specific wiki page.

To do so, go to the wiki page you would like to link to your file. Click the "Edit" tab add the following text:

UCID's code fix for some problem: [[Media:some.problem code fix UCID]]

which will result in:

UCID's code fix for .... : Media:some.problem code fix UCID
