write new extensions. For all of these levels of MediaWiki use, there is
plenty of documentation readily available by performing internet
searches. An Industrial application of Mediawiki for knowledge
management and collaboration is described in Chapter 13 by Gardner
and Revell.
The basic setup of the wiki is straightforward - anyone can view
the web site, but a login is required to edit or add pages. Anyone can
register for a login and make changes, but this functionality is
primarily aimed at teachers. Changes to the site will be monitored by
administrators, and can be crowd-curated by other teachers. The
content of the web site is separated into different namespaces. The
'Lab', 'TeacherExpt' and 'Expt' sections contain traditional HTML
content - a mixture of formatted text, pictures and links which describe
experiments (an overview, teachers' notes and students' notes,
respectively).
Each page in the 'Substance' section contains compound information.
Most of this information is dynamically retrieved from a corresponding
ChemSpider compound page - images of its structure and a summary of
its properties (molecular formula, mass, IUPAC name, appearance,
melting and boiling points, solubility, etc.), and links to view safety sheets
