Yandex Wiki structure

Page tree

Wiki pages are organized as a tree:

wiki.yandex.comWiki home pageSpace “Team”wiki.yandex.com/teamwiki.yandex.com/team/plansSpace “Project”wiki.yandex.com/projectwiki.yandex.com/project/rules

  1. wiki.yandex.com: The home page of your Wiki organization. Here you can add links to the main clusters, important resources, 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.
    Default access: All employees. Choose a wiki page access type

  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.
    Default access: Same as parent page. Setting up permissions for individual users on a wiki 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.

By default, the author of the Wiki home page is a service account. If you change the access type for this page, it may become unavailable to other users. The Wiki administrator can revert this by going to the home page and clicking Go to settings.

Spaces

A space includes a top-level page and all its subpages. Each space has its own page tree, navigation, owner, and administrators.

For information on finding, creating, and configuring spaces, see Spaces.

Personal space

Each organization employee has a personal space on Wiki: wiki.yandex.com/users/userName. You can use it to store your personal info, schedules, or drafts.

To go to your personal space, click Personal space in the left Wiki panel.

It's marked as Personal in the space catalog.

By default, the top-level page of your personal space is available to Some employees, and its subpages inherit its settings. You can change the access type for pages in your personal space and other pages where you are an author.

Relative page addresses

To link to another Wiki page, 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)
