If your Tiki is non-English, you must change the Wiki link format to select the proper character set for internal wiki links.
In the Edit area, enable the following options:
- Warn on Edit Conflict: If two (or more) users attempt to edit the same wiki page at the same time, there could be problems. Tiki will warn each user if they try to edit a wiki page that someone is already editing.
Click the Features tab.

In the Wiki Features area, enable the following options:
- Sandbox: The Sandbox is a special wiki page. You (and your users) can edit this page to learn the Tiki wiki syntax. No versions of the page are retained, so you don't have to worry about spam.
- Comments: This allows registered users to add comments to the page (without actually editing the wiki page). You can further customize Tiki by specifying if the comments should be displayed by default and how they are ordered. You can override this setting on a page-by-page basis.
- Pictures: This allows you to upload pictures and images to a wiki page. By default, uploaded pictures will be stored in the File Gallery.
- Backlinks: "Backlinks" are a list of wiki pages that link to a specific page. Tiki can automatically keep this list of incoming links up-to-date. You can customize the length (number of characters) displayed in the backlink drop list. This can be useful if you have very long page names.
Leave the remaining options as their default.
Click Change Preferences. Tiki saves the settings and reloads the page.

Note:
You can use the Admin: Text Area Editing and Plugins icon.
