[edit] Wiki Editing Basics
Wikis work a little differently from regular web pages. They have their own formatting syntax, and creating and editing pages is a little unusual - but it is easy to get the hang of.
[edit] Editing a page
At the top of every page is a tab titled edit. Click this to get an editable field with the whole page content in it.
To edit part of a page, click the "edit" link to the right of the heading for the subsection of the page.
When you are finished editing, click the "Show Preview" button at the bottom of the page. To save changes click the "Save page" button.
It's possible for you or anyone else to roll back edits, so while it's always a good idea to preview changes, it's not a disaster if you make a mess. You can use the History tab at the top of the page to roll back edits.
[edit] Creating a new page
As hard as you look, you won't find "Create Page" button. Here's how you create new pages in a wiki
- In an existing page, create a link to a page that doesn't exist yet (see below for the link syntax)
- save the changes to the page
- click the new link to follow it
You can then edit and save the page.
[edit] Formatting
Wikis use their own formatting, linking and other syntax - so use it rather than HTML.
The full details can be found [1], but here are some basics
[edit] paragraphs
Paragraphs are formatted simply by adding two carriage returns. Single carriage returns are ignored.
[edit] links
Internal wiki links (linsk to other pages of the wiki) are written like this
[[Page Name|Link Text]]
Links to external web pages are written like this
[http://linkurl.com Link Text]
More details are here
[edit] headings
Headings are written as one or more = signs around the heading text. The level is indicated by the number of = signs. For example
=heading level 1=
===heading level 3===
[edit] lists
Unordered lists are written like this
* one
* two
Ordered lists are written like this
# one
# two
