Creating wiki pages

Creating wiki pages can be confusing if you aren't familiar with wikis.

Wiki links

When editing a page, links are created by typing the title of a page you want to link to inside double square brackets.

New pages

To create a new page:

  1. Think of a title for your page. The title should be different to the titles of other pages on the wiki. It should describe the content of your page. An example title might be Frogs and other amphibians.
  2. Decide which page should link to your new page. If the wiki is small this might be the start page. Otherwise, find an appropriate page.
  3. Edit the page that will contain the link.
  4. Find the point where you would like the link to go, and type it in: [[Frogs and other amphibians]].
  5. Save this change. The link you have created should appear, ready for use.
  6. Click the link. You will be asked whether you want to create a new page.
  7. Click Yes. The edit window appears for your new page.
  8. Type in the initial text of your page, then save it. Your page is now created.
