Question	Can I move a Wiki+ page?
Answer	Technically, Wiki+ pages cannot be moved because they don't have a fixed location within the network structure. Creating child links forms a path, not a strict hierarchy. However, you can manipulate the breadcrumbs by ensuring only one path leads to a page.

Question	Can I track changes made to Wiki+ pages?
Answer	Yes, Wiki+ includes a revision history feature accessible through the page edit screen. This feature allows you to view a log of edits, see changes highlighted in tooltips, and revert to previous versions of a page as needed.

Question	How can I view the complete tree structure of my Wiki+?
Answer	You can access a view of the complete Wiki+ tree structure through the designated option in the admin panel. However, it's important to note that this view will reflect guest access permissions. Some pages may be hidden if they are restricted to specific user groups.

Question	What moderation tools are available in Wiki+?
Answer	Wiki+ offers several features to help you moderate user contributions and maintain the quality of information: Email Notifications: When a new post is submitted, an email notification is sent to the designated staff address, alerting you to new contributions. Permissions Control: You can configure permissions to determine whether regular users can create new pages or only contribute through posts. Page History: The revision history feature allows you to track edits made to pages and revert to previous versions if necessary. Composr Moderation Tools: Wiki+ integrates with Composr's site-wide moderation features, providing additional tools for monitoring and managing user contributions.

Question	Can users contribute content to Wiki+?
Answer	Yes, users can contribute content to Wiki+ through posts. When the "Show posts" option is enabled for a page, users can add their insights and information as posts below the main page content.

Question	What are orphaned pages and how should I handle them?
Answer	Orphaned pages are pages that exist within the Wiki+ database but are not linked to the main tree structure. These pages are not accessible through the tree navigation but can still be reached through direct links or cross-linking. Orphaned pages are not necessarily problematic. They can be intentional if you prefer to link pages using the wiki-style syntax instead of a rigid tree hierarchy. You have the flexibility to choose the linking method that best suits your content organization.

Question	How can I create and organize pages in Wiki+?
Answer	Pages in Wiki+ can be created in several ways: Referencing them in the child-list of an existing page. Using the special Comcode syntax [[pagename]] to create inline links, which automatically generates new pages when accessed. Utilizing the "Edit tree" button visible on Wiki+ pages to add child pages directly. The tree structure can be easily manipulated through the same interface, allowing you to arrange pages in a hierarchy that suits your needs.

Question	How does Wiki+ differ from a regular wiki?
Answer	While Wiki+ shares similarities with traditional wikis, it provides two key distinctions: Optional Post Contributions: Wiki+ allows users to contribute short snippets of information (posts) directly on pages, enriching the content without formally editing the page itself. This feature is optional and can be enabled or disabled as needed. Optional Tree Structure: Unlike standard wikis that rely solely on cross-linking, Composr's Wiki+ offers the flexibility of organizing pages within a hierarchical tree structure. This structure can be used in conjunction with or as an alternative to cross-linking.

Question	What is Wiki+?
Answer	Wiki+ is a feature in Composr that allows you to create a collaborative, tree-structured database of information. It functions similarly to a traditional wiki but offers enhanced features such as post contributions, a hierarchical structure, and moderation capabilities.

Question	Are there other Composr features helpful for support?
Answer	Yes, features like: Staff-only replies in the Support Ticket system enable private communication among support staff. Notifications for new tickets, replies, or feedback ensure timely responses. Blocks like main_contact_us provide a simplified front-end for ticket creation. Forum moderation tools help manage support discussions effectively.

Question	Can I filter my search results?
Answer	Yes, you can filter your search results by: Content type: Choose to search specific content types like news, forum posts, or Comcode pages. Author/Submitter: Search for content submitted by a specific member. Date: Limit your search to content submitted within a specific time frame. Category (for certain content types): Narrow down your search to specific categories within a content type.

Question	What is the difference between natural and boolean searching?
Answer	Natural search is a more relaxed approach where you type in your search terms and Composr tries to find the most relevant results, even if they don't contain all the words. It's like a Google search. Boolean search requires more precision and uses operators like "+", "-", and quotation marks to define exactly what you're looking for. For example, searching for "+car -maintenance" will only return results that contain the word "car" but not "maintenance".

Question	How do I search my Composr website?
Answer	There are a few ways to search your Composr website: Using the search bar in the header: This is the simplest way to search. Just type your search term in the box and click the search button. Using the 'Search' module: This module offers more detailed search options. You can access it via the 'site:search' page-link (usually under About > Search in the default menu). From the Forum: Click the 'Search' button on the forum or use the contextual search box on the forum member bar. This will search within your current forum or topic.

Question	How do I mark correct answers in a quiz?
Answer	For questions with predefined answers, you can mark correct answers by adding [*] after the answer. If no answer is marked correct, the question will require manual marking. You can also use the [UNMARKED] tag after a question to exclude it from scoring.

Question	What is the input syntax for quiz questions?
Answer	Quiz questions are inputted in blocks, separated by blank lines. The first line is the question, followed by potential answers on subsequent lines. Different question types are indicated by tags after the question, such as [MULTIPLECHOICE], [MULTIMULTIPLE], [LONG], [SHORT], and [SHORT_STRICT].

Question	Can I create complex, multi-screen quiz interfaces in Composr?
Answer	While Composr's built-in quiz system is excellent for standard formats, creating intricate multi-screen quizzes might require custom development using Composr's decision tree framework or other programming tools. This allows for highly customized quiz structures and advanced branching logic.

Question	How can I analyze quiz results effectively?
Answer	Composr enables you to export quiz results to a spreadsheet file, facilitating in-depth data analysis. This is especially useful for manually marked questions, identifying competition winners, and processing data for marketing or research purposes.

Question	What are Quiz Sets and how can I use them?
Answer	Quiz Sets are a helpful organizational feature in Composr. By prefixing quiz names with "Example: ", you can group related quizzes together. This allows for combined scoring and percentage calculations, particularly beneficial for multi-part questionnaires or tests.

Question	How does scoring work for quizzes with different question types?
Answer	Multiple-choice and short answer questions: These are automatically marked based on your defined correct answers. Long answer questions: These require manual marking, resulting in a percentage range being displayed to the user until you assess their response. Unmarked questions: These questions are collected but don't contribute to the overall score, allowing you to include optional or non-scored elements.

Question	Can I reward users for completing quizzes?
Answer	Yes, you can reward users with points for successfully passing a test. This incentivizes participation and encourages users to engage with your content.
