[Deploying Sakai] Linking directly to wiki pages

[David Haines]

It's not exactly obvious but it is easy to get this URL.  To link to an editable version of a wiki page you can get an URL using the View link.

Hover over the View link
Left click and copy link location
The result is an URL to the page which does not show the CTools portal surrounding the page. If you need to present the page as if the user navigated to it by themselves simple edit that URL and replace '/tool/' with '/directtool/'.
