A brief introduction to adding and editing pages on this wiki.
Before You Get Started
You can view all pages on this wiki without registering, but in order to edit pages and upload files, you must register for the wiki (using the link at the top of the page) and provide a valid email address in your user profile.
Editing Pages
Once you are registered on the wiki and logged in, you will see an Edit link at the top of every page which is publicly editable. Some pages (such as the front page) are locked and are only editable by administrators, but most pages can be edited by anyone.
Clicking on the Edit link on a page takes you to the markup code for that page, which includes the page text along with certain special characters that determine the text formatting. You can change this text to add links to your new pages or files or to add or edit information on some subject, then press Save at the bottom of the editing page to save your changes to the site.
We've created a simple page that explains some of the basics of the wiki markup language here. You can practice using the markup language in the Sandbox page that we've created for people to practice on (do whatever you want to that page, it doesn't matter).
