====== Main Window  ======

Actually the main window may look like anything because its appearance is completely configurable via [[:Template|template]] themes. This page describes the default template that comes with DokuWiki.

===== Top Title & Buttons =====

On the **very top** left you see the title of the page. On the right you see the title of this wiki installation. In the second line you see a grey-blueish bar with some buttons. Let's go through them one by one.

   * "Edit this page" - **Yes**, you are allowed to edit any page in this Wiki. That's what wikis are all about. See [[editing|Editing DokuWiki Pages]].
   * "Old revisions" - When someone edited a page, DokuWiki remembers the old versions, which are then also called revisions. See [[attic|Older page revisions]].
   * "Recent Changes" - This is one of the most important entry points into a wiki when you regularly visit this page. It leads to a list of pages that have recently been changed. See [[Recent Changes]].
   * "Search" - A fulltext search over the whole content of this wiki. See [[Search]].

===== Breadcrumbs =====

The third line starts with the word "Trace:". After that is a list of pages that you've just read, like the history function in your browser. Read [[breadcrumbs]] for more info.

Note that another kind of breadcrumb is available, which displays the hierarchy of namespaces the current page is in.  See the [[config:youarehere|youarehere]] configuration setting.

===== Content =====
The main part of the window is taken by the content area. This is where your wiki source is shown and rendered. See [[page|page structure]] for more info.

===== Footer =====
The bottom part of the page is populated with :
  * user info, which tells who is logged in
  * page info, which tells when and who has edited the page last
  * buttons, where you find again ''Edit'' and ''Old revisions'', or :
    * ''Login'' which lets you [[login]] ;-)
    * ''Sitemap'' which shows an [[index]] of the pages and namespaces
    * ''Back to top'', a shortcut to get you back to top on long pages
    * If your profile is ''admin'', you may see an ''Admin'' button that leads you to the [[admin window]]
