Getting Started with Wiki Editing

General Information

Consult the MediaWiki User's Guide and FAQ for information on using the Wiki software.

In particular, you may wish to familiarise yourself with how to:

• edit an existing page and/or create a new one
• create a link to another page or a sub-item, possibly with an alternative description
• force the creation of a table of contents (where there are < 3 headings) or change its location
• create tables, including sortable ones
• add an image
• name pages appropriately (and avoiding characters such as "&" which result in non-user-friendly URLs)

More advanced users may also desire to:

• Rename (“move”) pages or images to improve naming conventions
• Utilise Category tags on pages and/or images to make relate information easier to find
• modify the side bar

Viewing existing pages in edit mode can also help facilitate learning by example.
