What a Wiki Is

A wiki is a collection of webpages, each with their own unique name. This is the "Help" page for example, and there can be no other page with that exact name. You can name them whatever you want, including spaces and punctuation.

These pages contain completely plain text without any punctuation and formatting. For the most part, wiki code is very straightforward. This text:

=Big Title=
==Smaller Title==
===Smallest Title===

This text is '''bold'''

This text is ''italic''

* This
* Is
* A
* List
* Of
* Bullet
* Items

Looks like this:

Smallest Title

This text is bold

This text is italic

  • This
  • Is
  • A
  • List
  • Of
  • Bullet
  • Items

How to Edit Pages

On any page you are allowed to edit, there will be an 'edit' tab in the upper middle. Click it and you will be allowed to edit its contents in a white text window below. Change the text as you please, 'preview' to see that it looks right, then 'save' when you are done.

If you make a mistake, don't panic! A wiki stores all changes, and can undo them all with the 'history' tab.

How to Create Pages

If you want to create a page, type it into 'Search' and hit ENTER. When the search doesn't find it, it will ask you if you want to create it.

Categories

I have organized this wiki mostly with categories. Each page can be in as many categories as you want. To put a page in a category, add a line like [[category:Category Name]] These lines will be invisible in the shown page.

To create clickable links to entire categories, you do [[:category:Category Name]]
