Contents

The point of a Wiki is that all users can edit and update the information the pages, and create new pages altogether. On all pages of the Wiki (including this one), you will see an "edit" link at the very top. If you click on it, you will see the source code for that particular page (this one will seem very complicated at first -- don't worry about it). To return to the real page, click on the "Page" link, also at the top of each page.

If you have read this and wold just like a Cheatsheet ;) Press Here

The rest of this page will contain the basic rules of editing and creating Wiki pages. One easy way to get started is simply to copy the source code from one page, and paste it into another page before editing the text in it. The formatting will remain identical to the first page, but you can edit the contents if you only change the text paragraphs.

New Page

We will start by showing you how to start a new page One easy way of doing this, is to go to our Wikido list. there you can put it in the Needs Linking to/from if you are not sure were to put you new page. If you know were it should go please feel free to do so As talked about above go to Edit and find the place that you will link your new page at. So if we are going to put it at the Wikido under Needs Linking to/from we will scroll down to 

 {{h2|Needs Linking to/from}}

And under that we will put your new page link by adding [[Title of Page]] it will look something like this 

 {{h2|Needs Linking to/from}}
 [[Title of Page]]

now you can hit the Save page at the bottom. then scroll down and you will see your new page link like below

Needs Linking to/from

Title of Page

Now you can click on it and it will carry you to your new page and will start you off with the edit screen


Starting the New Page

introduction

you can scroll down to the bottom of the page you are editing and you will see Show preview press that and as we go you can see your progress and at the bottom your edit screen will still be there ;)

The start of every page should have a introduction' and the language bar like we have here or at the eyeOS Wiki's Start page. we have two you can choose from one is like above with the Contents table on the right and one like at the Start page

One like the Start Page you type 

 {{intro|your introduction here}}

And this is what we get


your introduction here

One Like Above you type 

 {{introcon|your introduction here}}

And this is what we get


your introduction here

why is there no Contents table? We need it less 4 Section for it to show up. we are going to talk about that next


Section & Sub-Section

Section are good tools to use if your page will have a vast amount of information. As in this page, above you can go to the Contents table and you will see the Section and Sub-Section listed in it. Inside the Wikis this is done for use if we have 4 or more Section

The basic ones

Breaking the page into sections
Typing this on the "edit" page: Results in this on the final published page:

== New section ==
=== Subsection ===
Text written in subsection
==== Sub-subsection ====
===== Sub-sub-subsection =====

New section

Subsection

Text written in subsection

Sub-subsection

Sub-sub-subsection

The eyeOS Section 

{{h2|Section Text}}
OR
{{h2|<center>Section Text</center>}}

That will Make

Section Text

OR

Section Text

The eyeOS Sub-Section 

{{h3|Section Text}}
OR
{{h3|<center>Section Text</center>}}

That will Make

Sub-Section Text

OR

Sub-Section Text











Adding Content

Here we will go over adding content. When we add text to any document there are whys to make it easier to read an follow part of how we do this we discussed up above, but there is still more like making a list, linking to other documents inside and out of the eyeOS wiki.

As you are making you wiki page it is perfectly reasonable to create links to non-existing pages in your text without immediately creating the pages they point to. Other people can then see the red links and create the pages themselves if they know what belongs there.


Lists

Lists make your page much more organized as well. They are extremely simple to create:

Basic Bulleted List:
Typing this on the "edit" page: Results in this on the final published page:
*first bullet

*second bullet

  • first bullet
  • second bullet
Basic Numbered List:
Typing this on the "edit" page: Results in this on the final published page:
#first item

#second item
#third item

  1. first item
  2. second item
  3. third item
Bulleted List with sub-sections:
Typing this on the "edit" page: Results in this on the final published page:
*first item

*second item
**subtopic
*third item

  • first item
  • second item
    • subtopic
  • third item
Numbered List with sub-sections:
Typing this on the "edit" page: Results in this on the final published page:
#first item

#second item
##subtopic
##another subtopic
#third item

  1. first item
  2. second item
    1. subtopic
    2. another subtopic
  3. third item
Mixed List with sub-sections:
Typing this on the "edit" page: Results in this on the final published page:
#first item

#second item
#*subtopic
#*another subtopic
#third item

  1. first item
  2. second item
    • subtopic
    • another subtopic
  3. third item
Lists like these can be customized with any number of subsections and sublists, using the same logic as above. You can put a bulleted list within a numbered list within a bulleted list, etc.


Links

Linking to other pages will allow people to follow referenced information more easily. You can link to existing pages, and also to non-existing pages. A link to a non-existing page will appear in red, indicating that the page needs to be created.

'There are two types of links: internal links pointing to other pages of the Wiki, and external links pointing to other websites. Here's how they work:

Internal Link (to a page on the Wiki):
Typing this on the "edit" page: Results in this on the final published page:
[[Silver Lab]]

[[Silver Lab | Link to main Silver Lab page]]
(put the page name on the left, and then what you want the link to say on the right of the vertical bar)

Silver Lab

Link to main Silver Lab page

(the second link goes to the same page, but can say whatever you want it to say rather than just the page title)

External Link (to another website):
Typing this on the "edit" page: Results in this on the final published page:
http://www.harvard.edu

(just enter the page address, it will turn into a link automatically)

http://www.harvard.edu

[http://www.harvard.edu]

(or you can enter an address in brackets to make a short link)

[1]
[http://www.harvard.edu Go to Harvard's website!]

(or you can give the link a different text)

Go to Harvard's website!

(the link goes to the same page, but can say whatever you want it to say rather than just the page address)


Text Formatting

You can make any text bold, italicized, or bold-italicized. by adding ' to them
