KNILT Category Tags
Why do we need Category tags?
KNILT uses the Category function of Mediawiki to index its mini-courses. With each mini-course including a set of Category tags (themes) in its front page, KNILT shows its full list of mini-courses based on the thematic areas: See Special:Categories. The user can search a category keyword to find the related mini-courses.
How to add Category tags?
Please watch this short video: File:How to add category tags.mp4
- Select Category tags appropriate for your mini-course. See the list below (What Category tags should I use?);
- Open your mini-course front page, click the tab of Edit Source, scroll to the bottom of this page;
- Add each selected tag by copying and pasting it inside [[]]. For example, the mini-course Facilitating Effective Online Discourse included three Category tags, as shown in the screenshot below.
- Save your page, and you will see the Categories you've added on the tool panel (e.g. under Page Tools and More...) of your page .
You only need to add category tags to your mini-course frontpage (intro page), not the pages of the different units/lessons.
