Intro
Ok well..to really learn about wiki quickly..you need to look at the most important aspect, 'the source'. Click on the 'Edit' link/button of this page now. (or if you're super fucking lazy click here)
Magic
This is where the magic happends. Click the 'Show Preview' button to compare the source with the formated wiki page.
The Meat
2 main ways to link in wiki is:
- Internal: (back into the wiki itself). It helps if the page you are linking to exists.
- Example: [[Sandbox]] produces Sandbox or [[Sandbox|This fnord links to Sandbox]] produces This fnord links to Sandbox
- External: Format is [http://url.com/fnord LinkNameWhitSpaceOptional] ** Example: Wikipedia..the mother of all wikis
To seperate sentences you will either need to
put a empty line between them or you can
break them up like
this
how to make:
italicized text
bolded text
'bolded text with single quotes'
Ok..that should be enough info to allow you to explore wiki.
Some suggestions before you do:
- Mess around with your new wiki skills in the Sandbox
- Make an wiki account so you can track your changes and others can know who you are and introduce themselves. This allows the Wiki Editors to know who you are..hopefully not a troll.
- Check out the Recentchanges page to see the changes you've made and what others are working on.
- If your curiosity is peaked and has overcome your Attention Deficit Disorder and you want to get a bit more fancy with wiki editing; check out Tutorial for ways
- How to upload and place images on the wiki
- Watch (monitor) your soon to be favorite wiki pages
- Much much more
- If you are special just like everybody else check out Special:Help
- Browse through the wikis Wantedpages and create a wiki page that has been requested.
- Explore other Wikis through WikiNode
What else should be put here?
Make a user-page, so people can adress you (on your Talk-page) and to sign with using three of four ~. Four ~ add a timestamp to your name. Userpages have a namespace -
- ~~~ creates [[User:realname|real name]]
- ~~~~ creates [[User:realname|real name]] 13:05, 10 Feb 2005 (CET)
