Yandex Wiki structure

Page tree

Wiki pages are organized as a tree:

  1. wiki.yandex.com: The home page of your Wiki organization. You can add links to the main clusters, important links, or news.

    The Yandex Wiki main page is also available at wiki.yandex.com/homepage. You can create a subpage for it.

  2. wiki.yandex.com/page: Top-level pages that have no parent pages. These are usually pages related to a general topic. For example, this could be the pages of a department, team, or project.
    The default access type: Available to all employees (see Configuring access to a page).

  3. wiki.yandex.com/page/subpage/... : Subpages that have parent pages. Either a top-level page or a second-level (and below) page can be a parent page.
    The default access type: Same as parent page (see Configuring access to a page).

Wiki home page

The Wiki home page is the primary entry point of your knowledge base. You can edit it just like any other page.

Note

By default, the author of the Wiki home page is a service account. If page access is set to Only authors, other users won't be able to access it. To allow others access to the page, click the link https://wiki.yandex.com/homepage/.settings?tabId=access and change the access type.

Clusters

Wiki pages form clusters:

A cluster is a top-level page with all its subpages. Pages within a cluster usually share a subject.

To view or change the cluster structure, click in the top panel.

Personal cluster

Each organization employee has a Personal cluster on Wiki: (wiki.yandex.com/users/<username>). You can use your personal cluster to store your personal info, schedules, or drafts.

To go to your personal cluster, click My page in the left Wiki panel.

By default, the pages in your personal cluster are Available to all employees (see Configuring access to a page). You can change the access type for pages in your personal cluster and other pages where you are an author.

Relative page addresses

To link to another Wiki page (see Links), you can use a relative address instead of the full page URL:

  • Specify the address relative to the Wiki home page: wiki.yandex.com. To do this, add / before the address:

    Destination Markup
    wiki.yandex.com/users/John/page [John's notes](/users/John/page)

  • Specify the address relative to the page where you are placing the link.

    Page URLs Markup
    Links from: wiki.yandex.com/users/John/newpage

    Links to: wiki.yandex.com/users/John/page    		 [John's notes](../page)
