Introduction

Atlassian Confluence is an "enterprise" wiki.

Notice: I created this page because I need to know how the [LAMS wiki works] in order to help with software localization. At some point, contents may be made more generic - Daniel K. Schneider 10:43, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Structure of a confluence wiki

Confluence is organised in spaces (i.e. some kind of sub-wikis) Each space contains a hierarchically organised set of pages. Links between pages are possible

Navigation and page headers and footers

Top left: Hierarchial navigation menu:

Dashboard > Space > Page > Subpage > ...

Top right: Various user actions like user settings and search Top right: Add page and Add Blog Post

Footer: List of subpages ("children")

The Dashboard

“The Dashboard is the front page of a Confluence site. It provides an overview of the site, access to all spaces to which you have 'view' permission, and displays a list of the most recently updated content within them.” (Dashboard, retrieved 10:43, 25 February 2010 (UTC)).

The Dashboard includes:
