Contributions
Steps in contributing to iskWiki!:
- Log in at iskWiki! using your UP Webmail account and correct password.
- Using the Search feature of iskWiki!, find out if the article ((or an entry similar to what) you're about to contribute is already available or not, by clicking on and examining the relevant results.
- If a similar page already exists, try to integrate your information into the existing page rather than start a new one. Click on Edit at the bottom of the page, type in your revision or additional information, and click on Show Preview before clicking on Save page. You're done!
- If your information is entirely new or you have good reason to believe it requires a separate page, open another tab or window and insert the locator (with your title appended) iskwiki.upd.edu.ph/index.php/ into the web address text field and press Enter in your keyboard. The resulting page should say There is currently no text in this page, you can search for this page title in other pages or edit this page.
- Click on Edit this page, type in your contents and, when you're done, click on Show Preview before clicking on Save page.
