How do I edit a page?

This is the most important part. You have to use the edit link on top to modify the page content. The discussion tab works similar. To edit a page, simply click the edit link that appears on each page. A form will appear, containing the existing markup. When you have finished making modifications, click the Save button to commit your changes.

How do I create a new page?

There are several paths to creating a new page:

  • Create a link to the page on another page, then click on the red link which appears
  • Browse to the location of the page, http://www.fuerstenberg-dhg.de/wediawiki/index.php?title=New_page and click on the edit link.

How do I create a link to a new page

  • Embed the term you intend to be as a link in brackets like this [[link ]]

How do I mark text or links in bold

  • Either use the formatting button on top of the "edit" area or place three ' ' ' before and after the text or link.

How do I combine links and bold?

  • Use following combination three ' ' ' followed by [[ and than close the area with the ]] followed by ' ' '.

The order of symbols is important, otherwise the result is not sufficient. However, use the edit link at each page and browse for further formatting examples.
