Although I'm not a wiki expert and currently I'm not intending to become one, pls find below some helpful information for your convenience. Have fun Jens

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 terms 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.

How do I upload the current version of the spreadsheet?

  • Use the Upload file link on the left but the better way is to follow the link at bottom at the SNPWG page and replace the current version in the page which will appear when the link opens. Don't get nervous that it is called IMAGE; it is the folder where the uploads will be stored.

How do I create a time stamp associated with my sign in name

  • Add easily 4 ~ at the place underneath your comments or contributions.
