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:
+
 
+
{| class="wikitable"
+
|-
+
! Command
+
! Output
+
|-
+
| <nowiki>'''Bold Text'''</nowiki>
+
| '''Bold Text'''
+
|-
+
| <nowiki>''Italics''</nowiki>
+
| ''Italics''
+
|-
+
| <nowiki>'''''Bold & italics'''''</nowiki>
+
| '''''Bold & italics'''''
+
|-
+
| <nowiki><s>Strikethrough text</s></nowiki>
+
| <s>Strikethrough text</s>
+
|-
+
| <nowiki>== Large Headline ==</nowiki>
+
| (A large headline - not shown)
+
|-
+
| <nowiki>=== Small Headline ===</nowiki>
+
| (A smaller headline)
+
|}
+
 
+
===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.
+
 
+
<nowiki></nowiki>[[File:filename.???|200px|thumb|left|A caption]]</nowiki>
