Creating A New Page

Method 1

Enter http://www.myth-weavers.com/wiki/index.php/Newpage into the address bar, replacing Newpage with whatever you want your page to be called. Click the create tab at the top. You can now edit the page.

Method 2

Enter the name of the page you would like to create into the wiki search box. On the resulting page, click the red "create this page" text. You can now edit the page.

Method 3

Create a link on a pre-existing wiki page to your page-to-be, this is known as forward linking when the target doesn't exist and will be indicated by the link appearing in red when saved. Forward linking uses the double bracket syntax like so [[NewPage]], replacing Newpage with your page tile. Save the page, and click your link. The you can now edit the page, it will be created when you hit save.

Notice

Be sure to save your work! Otherwise, the page will revert to its previous uncreated status.




Formatting

You can format your text using wiki markup. This consists of normal characters like asterisks, single quotes or equation marks which have a special function in the wiki, sometimes depending on their position. For example, to format a word in italic, you include it in two single quotes like ''this''
