| | | | |
| − | This page is a work in progress.
| + | If you've never edited a wiki before, you might find the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Contents MediaWiki help manual] useful. You should also read the [[TowersStreet Wiki:Rules|rules of the wiki]] before editing. |
| | | | |
| − | == Wiki editing - the basics. ==
| + | If you have any questions, you should ask [http://www.towersstreet.com/talk/groups/?sa=members;group=9 a team member] or drop a post in the [http://www.towersstreet.com/talk/guest-services/ Guest Services forum]. |
| − | | + | |
| − | Most of the tools you need to edit a page can be found in the icons above the text box. These buttons will apply the relevant formatting to selected text. Alternatively, you can use a number of simple commands to create the desired effect:

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Links===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Internal links are encased in twin square brackets (e.g. <nowiki></nowiki>[[Alton Towers]]</nowiki>). External links use single square brackets:- <nowiki> </nowiki>[http://www.towerstimes.co.uk]</nowiki> displays [http://www.towerstimes.co.uk].
| + | |
| − | Links can be 'piped' to display alternative text: <nowiki></nowiki>[[Alton Towers|UK's number 1 theme park]]</nowiki> displays [[Alton Towers|UK's number 1 theme park]], for external links simply leave a space between the end of the link and the text you wish to display.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When saving a page, any text that matches the title of another page is automatically turned into a link. If you do not want this to happen, enclose the relevant text in 'nowiki' tags, there is also a button above the text edit window to create these tags. The nowki tag ignores any wiki formatting command, displaying plain text instead (it is used heavily in the above table)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Images===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Images can be uploaded using the 'upload file' tool accessed though the toolbox on the [[Main_Page|main page]]. Example code to include an image is shown below.
