Wiki Basics
Ok, in case anyone needs a 5 minute introduction to the wiki, thats it:
- Writing to a page is as simple as counting 1, 2, 3:
- 1: click on "Edit"
- 2: change the current page text in the text window
- 2: click on the "Save" button
- Whats going on: click on "News" (many wikis call this RecentChanges), you will see:
- Which pages have changed and who has changed it (maybe only an IP)
- Identify yourself: click on "Preferences" and enter your name, now:
- anyone can see on RecentChanges which changes where done by you
- you get additional functions at the bottom of the page
- a page "archive" shows all revisions of a page
- a "delete page" for small pages (<64 characters)
- a "print" for a printer friendly layout of the page
- But what exactly has changed: click on "(diff)" and you see
- yellow: paragraphs deleted (or changed, old version)
- green: paragraphs added (or changed, new version)
- normal display: the current page content
- Put a bookmark on RecentChanges, check regularly like you check a newsgroup.
