The goal of this wiki is to provide information on the facilities, equipment, tools, supplies, and software available in the George Fox University Maker Hub. If you have never edited a Wiki before, you should reference the documentation on the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki] site - specifically the page on [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Editing Editing].

This page gives information on the structure of this Wiki and how to appropriately edit this Wiki. Also, try out the [[Sandbox]] for editing practice. There is also a [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0ADy2qTefCbcqUk9PVA special google drive] for Maker Hub Crew.

This site makes use of the standard extension, [https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki Semantic MediaWiki]. This extension allows us to set one or more [https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Properties_and_types properties] on unique wiki pages. These properties can then be queried within other pages and the results can be dynamically displayed in a variety of [https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Result_formats result formats]. The main benefit is that a lot of entries can be auto-generated to allow easy navigation of the site as the site develops and evolves. The editors can add new pages, attach properties to those pages, and then have those pages automatically show up on other pages. This saves the editors from having to maintain a variety of lists on multiple pages.

The first section is used to set a large number of page properties. The first of these normally sets the page to be an "equipment" page using the [Property:Is equipment] property. However, as the Weller is a subset of Soldering Irons, it doesn't set this property, it instead sets the [Property:Is soldering iron equipment]. Others properties set images and icons and such. Notice the duplicate [Property:Is located in facility] entries to show how the equipment is located in more than one facility. This can also be done with domains.  The #show sections are generic and display the icon and the image with the appropriate descriptions. These are the same on every equipment page. There is then some explanatory text followed by an ''optional'' table of contents with a line break before it. The table of contents will show up automatically if there are 3 or more headings, but this makes it show up explicitly at this point - and the line break is just for visual effect.

One property that is not on the Weller is the [Property:Has certification], as this is done on the [Soldering Irons] page. Most equipment should have this as it is a link to the certification URL (typically a FoxTale course).
