==Introduction to this guide==
This is intended as both a how-to guide and a log of the steps I have taken to construct everything to help me in the event I need to rebuild it in the future. I am not a programmer, I only know enough to hack at the code untill trial and error makes it do what I want.
This is intended as a how-to guide to build your own wiki dedicated to Genealogy. I'm not a web developer or a programmer, just someone who has enough knowledge and googling skills to be dangerous.
This guide consists of the following:
*[[#Why use a wiki?]]
*[[#Wiki options]]
*[[#Web Hosting Options]]
*[[#Cost]]
*[[#why I use mediawiki]]
*[[#Installing]]
*[[#basic usage]]
**[[#writing and formatting]]
*[[#intermediate usage]]
**[[#templates]]
*[[#advance usage]]
**[[#symantic mediawiki]]
**[[#parser functions]]
