Program entries contain a handful of elements about participating faculty, namely, links to websites, bios, PhilPapers profiles, specialties, and whether they are willing to work with new graduate students. Any information over and above this—e.g., placement histories, interdisciplinary opportunities, etc.—should be placed in separate program pages that link off the main page. Doing so is easy.

If you have not already done so, you first need to create an account by clicking 'Create account' at the top of the page.

To create a Wiki Program Page:

  1. Copy the line below and replace the text in red with the name of the university the page is for. Please use the full name of the university (or college or institute or school, etc). This is necessary to prevent spam, believe it or not:

<nowiki>{</nowiki>[[Name of University Here|Wiki Program Page]]<nowiki>}</nowiki>

  1. Now, go to edit the existing program entry on the wiki front-page and paste the (edited) line after the university name heading and before the first faculty member.
  2. Once the edit has been saved, a red link entitled 'Expanded Program Information' will appear. Clicking the link creates the new page, which you are now free to do with what you please.

If this seems unclear, just look at the front-page wiki markup of a program that has its own Program Page, such as UC Davis. Then look at the content of a Program Page, such as the University of Cincinnati's, to get some ideas.
