| ==Specific Projects==
| |
| ===vbz.net===
| |
| Probably the best place to look for information which might be relevant to your question is the [[Vbz.net|VBZ main page]].
| |
| ===LocalWiki and Techniques===
| |
| No help available yet; either post your question on the appropriate Discussion page, or [[HyperTwiki:Contact|contact the wikimonster]].
| |
| ==General Wiki Editing==
| |
| It may help to remember that postings on a wiki can always be edited again later, by you or by others. I find that this takes a lot of the stress out of the editing process, since you know that you can always go back and fix things -- and that others can also fix any obvious errors they might spot, or add their own information to yours.
| |
|
| |
|
| It may also help to remember that earlier versions are always saved; wiki admins have the magic power of reverting a page to an earlier form with a few mouse-clicks, but even ordinary mortals can retrieve lost bits of text from earlier versions of a page by clicking the "history" tab.
| | ==How To== |
| ===Basic Layout=== | | * [[/editing]]: general wiki editing |
| *'''Bold''' and''' Italic''' are easiest to do by highlighting the text you want affected and clicking the bold or italic button at the top of the edit window.
| | * [[/images]]: how to do stuff with images on a wiki |
| *'''Internal Links''' to other pages within the same wiki follow this form: <nowiki>[[Name of Page|text for link]]</nowiki> | | * [[Help:Sandbox|Sandbox]] for editing practice |
| *'''External Links''' to web pages outside the wiki follow this form: <nowiki>[http://google.com/ Google]</nowiki> | | * [[Help:Admin|Admin help]] for help with stuff that only admins can do |
| *'''Headers''' are indicated by enclosing the header text within equals signs: <nowiki>=Level 1 Header= ... ==Level 2 Header==</nowiki> ... and so on. | | ===offsite=== |
| *'''Lists''' are indicated by beginning the line with any of the following characters: "*" for bullets, "#" for numbered lists, ":" for indentation with no mark or numbering. You can also combine these, e.g. if a line starting with "#" is followed by a line starting with "##", that line is double-indented and begins its own numbering. The next line starting with just "#" resumes the original numbering. (There's a page about this somewhere in the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents MediaWiki Manual], but at the moment I can't find it.)
| | ==Where Things Are== |
| | * [[project:About]]: about the HypertWiki |
| | * [[project:Archive]]: index to archival (obsolete) pages |
| | * [[inventory]]: storage boxes |
| | |
| | ==Configuration== |
| | * [[Special:MyPage/common.css]]: display-stylesheet overrides that only apply to you |
| | |
| | Forms: |
| | * [[project:forms/blog/post]] - form for creating a blog entry |
