New To Wikis
Wikis are Web-based software that allows anyone to edit it's content (except where appropriate to do otherwise). Each time you are looking at the wiki, you are looking at a "page" within it. There are many types of Pages, but we will get to those later. First we cover modes you will be in when taking action.
Modes
Mainly, there are two modes you will need to become familiar with. They are called "View" and "Edit", and both deal with a process know as Wikifying texts.
View
In the View Mode, and using a special syntax, '''Text Entered with three quotes''' automatically turn out bold-faced when the page is viewed. In the center of every page, will be any content related to that page.
Edit
When you are in Edit Mode, all the content of the page appears before you; but does so dewikified. This is a place where you look at the special syntax to figure out what is going into the page in order to become the text you saw in View Mode. The exception to this is Templates, But More on that when we get to that type.
Types
Often, though not always, You will be able to tell what type of page one is by its namespace. This Appears before the Title of the Page (which is at the Top of the Browser), and In the Address bar, and is separated From the Rest of the Title by a Colon :. The Pages Break Down as follows:
= Pages
Actions
Each page has action buttons somewhere on the edges of the screen, where you will see the following text. Click on it to enact the related action.
- edit / create / view source
- Switch to edit mode, where you can submit new content, edit old content or view the pages de-wikified source.
