-===== DokuWiki =====
+====== DokuWiki ======
+[[doku>DokuWiki]] is the software you are currently looking at. It is running in a Docker container on [[infrastructure:servers:tex-drug-den]].
+All pages are public by default, but pages can be put behind a login by editing the access control list. Admin credentials are stored in [[applications:vaultwarden|Vaultwarden]].
+===== Editing pages =====
+You need to be logged in to edit pages. Once logged in, click on 'Page' in the top right and 'Edit this page'.
+While editing, use the preview function to see what it will look like, then save. Importantly, this doesn't use markdown; see [[wiki:syntax]] for a guide on the markup language.
+If you're struggling with the syntax, then there is a visual editor extension installed. Press the button below the toolbar to toggle between syntax and visual editing. Please note that the extension, [[doku>plugin:prosemirror]], is labelled as a 'beta'.
+===== Administering =====
+Settings like the theme, ACLs, and extensions can be changed by logging in as the admin user.
+===== Rationale =====
+DokuWiki was chosen for the following reasons:
+  * it's super simple to set up
+  * it's incredibly lightweight
+  * it doesn't need a database
+  * it stores pages as text files which...
+      * allows for easy backup
+      * allows easy migration should we ever want to switch wiki software
+      * is simple!
