Hello. I have no coding skills and this is my first time making a wiki. I've figured out the basics of what I'm trying to do but two things make no sense and I can't find any answers to my questions anywhere.
First: Adding members, or whatever the correct title is for select people who can also edit the wiki. I can't even figure out if "member" is the right category. The template came loaded with some placeholder text that said "hey join this site etc", something like that, and I couldn't figure out how to incorporate it. I found info about [[module Join]], and tried that, in preview it seemed to work so I deleted the original "hey join this site" stuff and put in [[module Join]], but it doesn't actually show up on the page.
I don't care if I have a link on the page where people ask to join, I can also just have people email me, but I do need to figure out how to give people access when they don't have, and maybe don't want, to create a wikidot account. I can't figure out how to do that for the life of me.
2nd item: I want to have categories of topics on the sidebar, and then be able to tag pages with those categories so when you click on a category all pages tagged with that category show up on a page as links. Is this possible? From what I understand that's not exactly how "tags" work, but if that is how tags work, please let me know. If tags work that way then all I need to do is put in the tags and they'll show up in the tag cloud, correct? What I'd really like is just a list of categories on the side though. If that's possible and you could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.
