How can I invite people to my wiki?

Easy! Just share the wiki password with them and you can all access and edit the wiki! You can also check out our short video on sharing the joy of PBwiki.

We also offer other ways to share your wiki with users.

What's an RSS feed?

To help you keep up to date with changes made recently on your wiki, every wiki has a computer-readable list of the changes made, using a format called RSS. If you use browsers like Firefox or Safari, or RSS readers like FeedReader, NetNewsWire, SharpReader, or BlogLines, you can stay informed about how your wiki is being changed without having to log in.

Note that if your wiki is password-protected, you will need to supply the password to your feed reader; many readers ask for the URL to your site/blog/feed - use the URL http://u:password@yourwiki.pbwiki.com/rss2.php. The username is ignored; feel free to put just "u" as a placeholder. If your wiki is public but you want more detail in the RSS feeds (like the email and IP address of the contributor to a change), then just add "?private=1" to the URL, e.g., http://u:password@publicwiki.pbwiki.com/rss2.php?private=1.

For premium users, you can also get individual page feeds by typing in the name of page as a parameter: http://publicwiki.pbwiki.com/rss2.php?page=FrontPage

Add access controls to your Premium wiki

If you have a Premium wiki, you can add 3 additional access levels to limit what people can do in your wiki. See this page for details.

How do I enable or disable emailed change notifications?

You can enable or disable notifications when you login to a wiki: Just keep an eye on the "Notify me of changes" checkbox located under your email address when you login.

If the box is checked; you will be notified of changes.

If the box is not checked; you will not be notified.

The wiki administrator can change notifications through the "Settings" link, at the top of the page. In "Settings" go to the "Notifications" page to check or uncheck "Send notifications to the user making the edit". You should also see a list of addresses that are signed up for change Notification emails. Click the "Stop notifications" button if you want to remove the address beside it.
