Welcome to the new ANCwiki site for Anthony Nolan Couriers to share information, created using MediaWiki...
MediaWiki is effectively a CMS (Content Management System) for creating wikis: essentially defined as a website where users can collaborate to add and edit content. It’s crowd-sourced encyclopaedia building.
Originally created in 2002 to cater for the requirements of a then little-known website called ‘Wikipedia’, MediaWiki has scaled massively alongside Wikipedia’s rapid growth to becoming the internet’s fifth most visited website. Since its release, MediaWiki has been used to build and run thousands of online wikis from MarioWiki (an encyclopaedia for the Super Mario universe), to Bulbapedia (an encyclopaedia for the Pokémon universe) to WikiLeaks (an encyclopaedia for… never mind), and now the ANCwiki.
Its widespread use is partly due to its simple syntax. Linking to other pages in the wiki when editing/writing text is as simple as wrapping the word in square brackets. The syntax interprets the square brackets and automatically links to the relevant page within the wiki. For example, in the text “The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog”, the words ‘fox’ and ‘dog’ would link to the pages /wiki/Fox and /wiki/Dog respectively.
This intuitive linking structure is far simpler than a more traditional CMS process of having to highlight the words, click insert link, type the link, and publish it.
Because access to the content is restricted to authorised Anthony Nolan staff and volunteers, you will have to log in to access the pages.
