Quick Start
MediaWiki takes the approach of not providing a real dashboard for editing. In the long run this makes things way easier but it can be a bit weird at the very start. For example if you look to a button to create a new page you wont find one. However, it is very easy to make new pages. Say you want to make a page called
FancyMathStuff
then you would, in the URL bar, enter
https://wiki.algebrist.ddns.net/index.php?title=FancyMathStuff
. On that page you will see the option to create it!
A lot of stuff in MediaWiki is like this, there's not a button for it but its actually quite easy. The docs are super helpful and well done.
Math
There are a few latex plugins for MediaWiki. I've installed the SimpleMathJax plugin. This works using MathJax on cdn.jsdelivr.net. You can make a math enviroment using the math HTML tag.
\( \frac{\lambda}{\alpha} = 4 \)
