Learn how to use MediaWiki

For an example of the inadequate video quality I was talking about in the previous post, check out my 13 part tutorial on how to edit MediaWiki wikis. I made this tutorial to help others contribute to the project.

In all, this tutorial runs an hour and a half. Considering the tutorial moves quite fast, I don’t think this speaks well of MediaWiki’s learnability, though to be fair, I get into a few of the more advanced features.

p.s. For comparison of the video quality, download one of the videos here. (That’s the only unit I’ve made available so far, but I really should take it down because it’s an old revision which contains some rather embarrassing flubs and has some clarity issues.)
