WUG_Create+an+Initiative+Wiki+Space

=
The instructions listed below will guide you on how to develop/create an initiative wiki-space. It is important to first review the content on this page and the template page prior to implementing any changes to your initiative wiki.======
 * 1) To begin, first create the five core initiative wiki-pages.
 * 2) Next, create the initiative-specific included pages (e.g Initiative Header, Initiative PageTabs, Initiative SidebarRight).
 * 3) Once the pages are created update the links to the core pages and your content.

NOTE: Do //NOT// modify any of the template files from which you will create your initiative wiki.

=1. Create Core Initiative Pages= The five core pages of each Initiative Wiki are listed below. Each core initiative page links to the corresponding page in a Sample Initiative that provides further instructions and explanation on the individual core initiative pages.
 * Initiative Dashboard - the central page to the initiative that provides members and non-members with a short intro, announcements, a road-map, and more.
 * QuickStart - provides stakeholders and non-stakeholders with the tools and materials on how to get involved with the initiative
 * Charter & Members - provides members with a more detailed outline of the initiatives charter, challenge, timeline, and more.
 * Materials - a deposit of initiative information (e.g. meeting notes, standards, publications, etc.).
 * Workgroups - an online meeting space for workgroups.

The initiative templates contain basic instructions and pre-populated content to help you get started. Use the following guidelines on how to add a new initiative core page and included page:


 * 1. || To start click on the plus icon to **Add Page or File located** in the left sidebar, next to Pages and File. || [[image:wug_wikihome_clickaddpagesfiles.png width="896" height="478"]] ||
 * 2. || After you click on the "Pages and Files" icon a new screen will appear: Make New Page. Then enter the following in the appropriate fields and click **Create.**
 * Page Name = Enter the appropriate Initiative Name
 * Use a Template = select **//tpl_initiative_dashboard//**
 * Add Tags = Enter the tag //initiative// as well as a tag for your "//initiative name//, //initiative acronym//" || [[image:wug_makenewpage_createdashboard.png width="896" height="478"]] ||
 * 3. || After you click - Create - the wiki will display your new page in Edit mode and then Click Save.

//**Note**//: You will return to each page to edit your content once all core pages and included pages are created. You will use the Wiki Spaces user guide to develop and populate the initiative content. || ||
 * 4. || Repeat steps 1 through 3 for the remaining core pages. Name each page using the following scheme and template isted below:
 * QuickStart
 * Page Name = //Initiative Name or Acronym// QuickStart
 * Template = //tpl_initiative_quickstart//
 * Charter & Members
 * Page Name = //Initiative Name or Acronym// Charter & Members
 * Template = //tpl_initiative_chartermembers//
 * Materials
 * Page Name = //Initiative Name or Acronym// Materials
 * Template = //tpl_initiative_materials//
 * Workgroups
 * Page Name = //Initiative Name or Acronym// Workgroups
 * Template = //tpl_initiative_workgroups// || [[image:wug_sidashboard_clickaddpagesfiles.png width="896" height="478"]] ||

=2. Create Initiative-Specific Included Pages= Each initiative wiki requires three initiative-specific pages that are included in their wiki:
 * 1) Initiative PageTabs - contains a simple bulleted list which is displayed as navigation tabs within your initiative wiki.
 * 2) Initiative SidebarRight - contains several other included pages that comprise the default initiative sidebar and allows each initiative to create a sidebar that is customized to their needs.
 * 3) Initiative Header - contains includes for initiative PageTabs and SidebarRight to simplify standardized inclusion of these elements in each initiative wiki.

=3. Link Core Pages to Your Included Pages= <span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Once you have your core pages and included pages created for your new initiative wiki you need to link the core pages to your initiative's Header, PageTabs, and SidebarRight pages. This initial re-linking is slightly different for //YourInitiative// dashboard page than the rest of your initiative wiki pages.
