-But I quickly found that Dokuwiki is a great place to store information for scientists. I used to have random word files with protocols laying around, especially for chemical reactions, that are (probably) performed the same every time you do them. But saving them in Dokuwiki is much nicer: it gives you a way of ordering things, you can link relevant literature and related other protocols easily, you can easily share the protocol with colleagues with a link, and Dokuwiki keeps track of your editing history, so if you make a change, at least you know when it happened, and you can match it to what is going on in your ([[en:blog:why_obsidian_eln|digital?]]) lab notebook. Quickly, my wiki grew bigger and bigger, as I added more and more protocols. +But I quickly found that Dokuwiki is a great place to store information for scientists.

 And then I realized, I could also use Dokuwiki to keep track of tips & tricks for random devices in the lab. Instead of taking notes when you get the introduction for a new device in the lab, and immediately losing the notes and forgetting everything you've learned, I could now write them in my wiki, where they are safely stored. And if I discover useful about a device during experiments, I write that down as well. While we are at it anyway, I also added the full name and other properties and a link to the official manual or documentation. If people have questions about the machine, I could just share this page. And then I realized, I could also use Dokuwiki to keep track of tips & tricks for random devices in the lab.
