Federated wikis are a relatively new concept. There can be multiple copies of the same page on different servers and it's then easy to pick which version you prefer, or make something new. It's like wiki meets mashup meets federation, and so is different from many previous web paradigms and may take some recalibration of how you think the web should work.
Using cursor keys, space bar and Enter key select <b>Administrator controls</b> and type in your password.

<p>
Select <b>Add/Remove Apps</b> then <b>fedwiki</b>. You will then be asked for a domain name and if you are using FreeDNS also the code for the domain which can be found under <b>Dynamic DNS</b> on the FreeDNS site (the random string from "<i>quick cron example</i>" which appears after <i>update.php?</i> and before <i>>></i>). For more details on obtaining a domain and making it accessible via dynamic DNS see the <ahref="./faq.html">FAQ</a>. Typically the domain name you use will be a subdomain, such as <i>wiki.mydomainname.net</i>. It will need to be a domain which you have bought somewhere and own and not one of the FreeDNS subdomains, otherwise you won't be able to get a SSL/TLS certificate for it.
First you'll need to get the login password, which can be found on the <b>Administrator control panel</b> under <b>Passwords</b> then <b>fedwiki</b>.

Navigate to your wiki site then click on the <b>lock icon</b> at the bottom of the screen and enter the password. It should then appear unlocked. If you don't unlock then any edits you make won't be saved.
