Topic pages are user-created community-editable pages covering a specific topic. Similar to a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki wiki], topic pages allow users to share their knowledge about tools, resources, or the underlying science. For example, see [http://thermalhub.org/topics/DerivationofPlancksLaw this page] on [http://thermalhub.org thermalhub.org].

Unlike a wiki, a topic page can have specific authors that are allowed to edit a page. A topic page can be open to the community for comments and suggested changes that the authors approve. Or, a topic page can have no specific authors and be editable by the community like a typical wiki page.

Topic pages are a terrific way of grouping resources together. If you include a reference to one or more resources using the {{{[[Resource(xxx)]]}}} macro, each of those resources will include a ''See Also'' link that points back to the topic page. The topic page can describe the resources and how they are related to one another. For example, "If you're interested in this concept, watch this seminar, then launch this tool and try this homework assignment."

=== How do I use this? ===
+
Wiki pages are user-written articles on a range of subjects. Any contributor or a group of contributors can create (and own) new articles, and there can be multiple articles on the same wiki, each written by a different author.

[[TitleIndex(Help)]]

Anyone with an account can create a new article. When creating a new article, the initial contributor can choose to have a defined list of authors, all of whom can edit the page, or have an open, wiki-like format where anyone can contribute.
