Plugins allow you to add interactive widgets to your wiki like collaborative calendars, chat rooms, YouTube videos, photo shows, and more (full list here).
- To add a plugin, click “Edit” on any page in your wiki.
- Then click “Insert plugin” (the button with the funny-looking green icon).
- Then move your mouse over the different categories to add a plugin.
Bonus how-to videos: Insert voice chat, event planning, and general plugins (skip to 1:15).

How to I, after I insert a plugin, such as bubbletube, wrap text so that it doesn’t take up the whole page? I found how Images can be wrapped.
Great question! I get the impression that the editor is limited in this regard. Maybe I’m missing a feature.
Can you tell me how you wrap text around an inserted plugin?
How do you remove a plug-in when you decide you don’t want it anymore? I can’t find a simple delete.
I’d like to see plug-ins for playing music on a wiki page. Perhaps a QuickTime plug-in or a MIDI plug-in. Including controls for start, pause, stop, volumne, and a moving play slider.
can you have games on your site? if so, how?
Has anyone gotten a reply on how to wrap text around plugins and also on whether there is a sound / music plugin available?
I agree, a music plug-in would be great. Is there a way to upload a video WITHOUT first uploading to youtube? the video plugin offers 2 options, but I’m not having any luck when choosing the upload “video” option. The screen never opens a “browse” dialogue box.
Does any one know how to make page names appear on the top of the screen along with Home, Comments, Files, etc., so people dont have to click Show All Pages?
Is it possible to add a ’suggestion box’ to my page and if so how would i do it?
