− | The tool that you have in your hands is a [[MediaWiki]], the same that is
| + | Howdy! |
− | being used in projects such as [http://www.wikipedia.org/ Wikipedia] or
| + | |
− | [http://sharewiki.org/ ShareWiki].
| + | |
| | | |
− | To start a new page and/or add a new article, you just need to put in the
| + | I am fairly new to this forum and just wanted to introduce myself and say "hi". |
− | address bar, behind "wiki" and a slash (/), name of the page you wish to
| + | |
− | create.
| + | |
| | | |
− | Example:
| + | Chau. |
− | <nowiki>http://en.blogxpopuli.org/wiki/New Page</nowiki>
| + | |
| | | |
− | The other way is, if you are editing already existing article, to put a
| + | Chery S. |
− | new page name in between square brackets:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <nowiki>[[New Page]]</nowiki>.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | At the beginning and as long as the content of a new page is not edited,
| + | |
− | the link will appear red. Once edited, link becomes blue indicating that
| + | |
− | the page has a content.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | When you are on a new page, press ''edit'' button ... and you can start to
| + | |
− | edit!
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Under the edit box you will find two buttons: ''Save changes'' and ''Show
| + | |
− | preview''. Use the second one to preview the edited text and first one to
| + | |
− | save it, once you are sure it is ready.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Creating and editing pages follow the guidelines:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | * Make sure the page you want to create doesn't exist already with similar
| + | |
− | name or that there are none with similar content to avoid repetition
| + | |
− | * Link pages that already exist into this wiki or ones that are external ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page#Links_and_URLs Links and URLs])
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | * If you are documenting a program or a server, use following templates:
| + | |
− | ** [[Program Article Template]]
| + | |
− | ** [[Server Article Template]]
| + | |
− | * Add categories at the end of the article
| + | |
− | * Add links to articles in other languages
| + | |
