| | This tutorial covers the process in creating a page to formatting its contents, adding images and links, and publishing the finished page. It assumes that users can log in and have permission to create or edit pages. |
|
| |
|
| There are two ways to create a new Page
| | == Step 1: Log in to the Website == |
|
| |
|
| <div class="noresize">
| | # Click Log in at the top right of the page.<br />[[File:Login bar.png|alt=Login bar|frameless|607x607px]] |
| {| class="wikitable"
| |
| |-
| |
| ! Description !! Image
| |
| |-
| |
| | In the search box, enter the title of your page
| |
| ||
| |
| {{ImageFrame|image=from-search-1.png|frame=frameless}}
| |
| |-
| |
| | If the page does not already exist, you will be provided with a link to create a new page similar to the one in the picture || {{ImageFrame|image=from-search-2.png|frame=frameless}}
| |
| |-
| |
| |After clicking the link, you should see a page similar to the one shown in the image. Click the '''Save''' button to save your changes || {{ImageFrame|image=from-search-3.png|frame=frameless}}
| |
| |-
| |
| | Lastly, you should see a Page similar to this || {{ImageFrame|image=from-search-4.png|frame=frameless}}
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| </div> | |
| | |
| ==Using the URL==
| |
| You can use the wiki's URL for creating a new page.
| |
| <div class="noresize">
| |
| {| class="wikitable"
| |
| |-
| |
| ! Description !! Image
| |
| |-
| |
| | Replace '''Sample_Page''' with the name of the page you wish
| |
| |{{ImageFrame|image=using-link-1.png|frame=frameless}}
| |
| |-
| |
| | Clicking the '''"Edit source"''' or '''"Edit"''' page tab at the top of the page will take you to the edit page for that page.
| |
| | |
| || {{ImageFrame|image=using-link-2.png|frame=frameless}}
| |
| |} | |
| </div>
| |
| | |
| '''Edit source vs. Edit'''
| |
| | |
| * The '''Edit Tab''' with VisualEditor is the most user-friendly option, ideal for those who prefer a simple, non-technical editing experience. It provides a visual interface that lets users easily edit content, format text, and insert links or images without needing to know markup. This makes it the best choice for beginners or anyone looking for a straightforward way to contribute.
| |
| | |
| * The '''Edit''' tab is typically associated with the '''VisualEditor''', which provides a more user-friendly, WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) interface. This option is designed to allow users to edit a page without needing to know wiki markup (the code behind the page).
| |
| | |
| ==Protecting your new Page==
| |
| Normally a new wiki page can be edited by other people (that is one of the main ideas of a wiki!).
| |
| | |
| However, a sysop could '''''protect''''' the page, if desired, to prevent normal users from editing it.
