Getting Started

Find Info

Wikis operate like the web: SEARCH !

Make Edits

Once you have created an account you can start editing pages. If you find a page you want to edit simply click on the "edit" tab at the top of the page.

Text Edits

Have a look at the Wikipedia Cheatsheet for simple formatting syntax.

If you need more information the Media Wiki Help is a great resource.

Tools

There are a variety of tools for making 'wiki markup'. Take a look at the above links and search at mediawiki to find the tools that you need. Some useful examples:

• Importing things from Microsoft Word [1]
• Using OpenOffice as an editor [2]

Adding Content

If you notice something missing then create it! Add to pages or add pages.

Do a search for the subject you think is missing. If nothing comes up you can create a page simply by clicking on the red highlighted text above the section telling you that page wasn't found.
