The name is required. Before creating a site, make sure that you are at the location on your site where you want to create a new subsite. Tip: In most cases, you can use the Site Actions menu instead to complete this step. In the Title and Description section, type a title for your wiki site.
The title is required. The title appears at the top of the Web page and appears in navigational elements that help users to find and open the site. Type a description of the purpose of your wiki in the Description box. The description is optional. The first part is provided for you. To avoid potential problems with updating or modifying the site, do not enter any of the following special characters as part of the Web address. In the Template Selection section, click the Collaboration tab if it is not already selected, and then click the Wiki Site template.
In the Permissions section, select whether you want to provide access to the same users who have access to this parent site or to a unique set of users. If you click Use Unique Permissions , you can set up permissions later after you finish entering information on the current page. In the Navigation Inheritance section, specify whether you want the site to inherit its top link bar from the parent site or to have its own set of links on the top link bar.
This setting also affects whether the new site appears as part of the breadcrumb navigation of the parent site. When you navigate down the site hierarchy, breadcrumb navigation appears on the page to which you have navigated. If you click No , your subsite will not appear in the breadcrumb navigation for the parent site and the breadcrumb navigation for your new site will not include the parent site.
If you specified that you want the subsite to have the same permission as its parent site, the new site is created when you click Create. If you specified unique permissions, the Set Up Groups for this Site page appears, where you can set up groups for the subsite. If the Set Up Groups for this Site page appears, you need to specify whether you want to create new groups or use existing groups for visitors, members, and owners of this site.
In each section, do one of the following:. If you click Create a new group , either accept the automatically created name for the new SharePoint group, or type a new name, and then add the people whom you want.
Click the check mark icon to verify any names that you type, or click the Address Book icon to browse through your directory for more names. In the Visitors to this Site section, you can also add all authenticated users to the Visitors group, which provides the group members with permission to read the content on your site, by default.
If you click Use an existing group , select the SharePoint group that you want from the list. If you have several SharePoint groups, the list may be abbreviated. Click More to see the full list or Less to abbreviate the list. When you first create a wiki site, the home page contains sample content about wikis. Use the buttons on the Formatting toolbar to format text, and add other content, such as images, tables, and hyperlinks. Note: If you are not using a browser that supports ActiveX Controls, you will not see the Formatting toolbar.
Instead, you can enter text using HTML tags. Find more information about using enhanced text boxes in the See Also section. To add wiki links to other pages in your wiki, type the name of the page surrounded by double square brackets: [[Page Name]].
For example, to add a wiki link to a page named "Orientation Information," type: [[Orientation Information]]. To add an image to a wiki, you need to first upload it to your site. You can upload an image to your site by using a picture library. Find links to more information about creating libraries and adding files to them in the See Also section. Right-click the picture, and then click Copy Shortcut to copy the Web address for the image. Click where you want to insert the picture, and then on the formatting toolbar for the wiki page, click the Insert Image button.
In the Address box, paste the Web address for the image that you copied earlier. For example, if your team will be creating a link later for Training Issues, you can go ahead and insert the link to the page now. The link to a future page appears with a dotted line under it. To create the page later, someone can click the underlined placeholder link, add content, and then click Create. Type the name of the page, surrounded by double square brackets: [[Page Name]].
For example, to insert a link to a page called "Training Issues," type [[Training Issues]]. The link will be created when you save the page. Tip: To quickly add a link from a wiki page back to the home page for your wiki, type [[Home]]. You can add other items to a wiki site, such as a tasks list to track action items or tasks related to the wiki.
You can choose whether or not the list or library appears on the Quick Launch for the wiki. Click the name of the list or library that you want to create, such as Tasks. In the Description box, type a description of the purpose of the list or library. To add a link to this list or library on the Quick Launch, verify that Yes is selected in the Navigation section. A wiki can help your organization collect and capture institutional knowledge, assemble content from numerous sources, and share plans and ideas.
For example, a corporation can create a company-wide Enterprise wiki where employees can find and contribute the latest, most comprehensive information about corporate activities, benefits, and services. Or your team can use a wiki to collect information for new team members, to plan a conference, or to collect ideas for a large document or manual.
After someone creates a wiki page, another team member can add more content, edit the content, or add supporting links. The community of authors helps to ensure the accuracy and relevance of the content.
Wikis continue to evolve as people add and revise information. Because team members can edit wiki pages without any special editing tools, wikis are a good tool for sharing ideas and collecting information from several people. Team members can easily create links to pages for someone to finish creating later, or links to existing pages, without having to struggle with long web addresses.
The default page type on team sites, and other types of sites, is a wiki page. So in that sense, wiki is everywhere. Because the home page of a team site and the new pages that you create there are automatically wiki pages, you can create a wiki right on your team site without creating other libraries or sites. New pages are created in the Site Pages library on a team site and you can manage your pages from there.
However, the disadvantage to this approach is that you will not have as many specialized options that come with a wiki page library or an Enterprise wiki site. If you know you will be creating many wiki pages or if you want to manage permissions separately for your wiki than for the rest of your site, you have a couple of options, depending on the scale of the wiki you plan to create and the range of options you want:.
Wiki page library A wiki page library is tailored to managing wiki pages and includes special commands on the ribbon for managing page history, permissions, and incoming links to pages. A site owner can create a wiki page library on most sites and get many of the benefits of a traditional wiki. Enterprise wiki An Enterprise wiki is a publishing site for sharing and updating large volumes of information across an enterprise.
If an organization needs a large, centralized knowledge repository that is designed to both store and share information on an enterprise-wide scale, consider using an Enterprise wiki. To learn more information about how to plan and create an Enterprise wiki site, we recommend reading the articles about planning sites and site collections. You need to have permission to create a site, library, or pages. But the good news is, if a site has been shared with you and you have permission to edit it, you most likely have permission to create a wiki.
Permission levels can be customized, but for most sites, you can create a wiki page library if you have the Edit permission level. By default, members of the Site Name Members group have the Edit permission level. You need to have the Full Control permission level to create an Enterprise wiki site, or your administrator must enable self-service site creation.
By default, members of the Site Name Owners group have the Full Control permission level, but your site may be set up differently. To manage permissions for a page in a wiki page library or an Enterprise wiki, a site owner can click the Page Permissions command on the Page tab on the ribbon. Although initially creating the site or library is similar to other sites, adding content to a wiki is different from how you add content to other types of sites.
On a wiki, you usually start by editing the home page and adding placeholder wiki links to other pages that do not exist yet. You can create those other pages as you go or create them later.
When you want to create the page that corresponds to a placeholder link, click the link. The page opens in Edit mode where you can add text and other content such as images. Was this article helpful? If so, please let us know at the bottom of this page.

Microsoft Office has been criticized in the past for using proprietary file formats rather than open standards , which forces users who share data into adopting the same software platform. Ecma International has published the Office Open XML specification free of copyrights and Microsoft has granted patent rights to the formats technology under the Open Specification Promise [74] and has made available free downloadable converters for previous versions of Microsoft Office including Office , Office XP, Office and Office for the Mac.
Another point of criticism Microsoft Office has faced was the lack of support in its Mac versions for Unicode and Bi-directional text languages, notably Arabic and Hebrew. This issue, which had existed since the first release in , was addressed in the version. In addition, the company does not provide users of its Office software an option to turn off diagnostic and telemetry data sent back to the company.
Researchers found that most of the data that the Microsoft software collects and "sends home" is diagnostics. However, they discovered the software packages collected additional data that contained private user information, some of which was stored on servers located in the US. Covertly, without informing people", researchers of the Privacy Company stated in their blog post. The researchers commented that there is no need for Microsoft to store information such as IPs and email addresses, which are collected automatically by the software.
As a result of this in-depth study and its conclusions, the Netherlands regulatory body concluded that Microsoft has violated GDPR "on many counts" including "lack of transparency and purpose limitation, and the lack of a legal ground for the processing. The Dutch regulatory body is monitoring the situation and states that "If progress is deemed insufficient or if the improvements offered are unsatisfactory, SLM Microsoft Rijk will reconsider its position and may ask the Data Protection Authority to carry out a prior consultation and to impose enforcement measures.
We appreciate the opportunity to discuss our diagnostic data handling practices in Office ProPlus with the Dutch Ministry of Justice and look forward to a successful resolution of any concerns.
