Wiki

Got it all sorted out thanks to Ralf Hilgenstock here http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=18811 (bottom of the discussion)

(my translation)

"Question 1: Can I deaktivate the Wiki-mark up entirely?"

No. We hat to change the notation [...] to (...)
Sidenote: The correct term is "mark down".

"Question 2: Are the settings above correct for my plan?"

They were correct.

The confution occured probably because the type of the course "visible groups" was set _after_ the wiki was created.

"Question 3: I want to do a clean-up since the students and teachers are lost in the Wiki jungle sad I though of exporting the Wikis, delete them, recreate and add the text. Since there are only 14 students affordable. Is there a better way of doing this?"

May be.

But I didn't want to take any chances:
- exported each student's wiki
- deactivated the old wiki
- created a new one
- added the old text manually to each student's wiki

For a class of 15 that was OK. It had the pleasent side effect, that I could clean some horrible mark up generated by MS Word cut-and-pasted to WYSISWYG editor.


"Question 4: It is planned to give the students _another_ Wiki to work in groups of two. The students are supposed to find a parner. What is the best way of doing this? For example, can they register the groups themselves?"

Created a "group wiki" (after I have set the course type). Works perfectly.
