| + | ====== Here is a Five point Five minute guide ====== | ||
| + | ===== Quick navigation guide ===== | ||
| + | ==== At the top of each page ==== | ||
| + | * On the left - the page name - clicking on this gives a list of all the wiki pages that have a link **to** this page. | ||
| + | * On the right - "PUGwiki" serves as a link back to the start page. | ||
| + | ==== Top button bar ==== | ||
| + | * Edit this page (becomes 'Show page' when in edit mode) | ||
| + | * Old revisions - shows a list of revision history snapshots for this page and allows you to compare any two | ||
| + | * Recent changes - shows the last change dates for the pages in the current namespace (but on the start page it shows the list for the whole wiki) | ||
| + | * Search - does what is says on the button | ||
| + | ==== Breadcrumb trail ==== | ||
| + | This shows your browsing history (with duplicates weeded out). It does NOT show the hierarchic position of the current page. | ||
| + | ==== Table of Contents ==== | ||
| + | This is automatically generated for the top three levels of headings of every page that had at least two levels of headings. | ||
| + | ==== Edit buttons on the right==== | ||
| + | These make it easy to edit a section of a long page. There is a button for each of the top two heading levels. The button to edit a section is on the right at the foot of the section. | ||
| + | ==== Bottom button bar ==== | ||
| + | * Edit this page (becomes 'Show page' when in edit mode) | ||
| + | * Old revisions - shows a list of revisions history snapshots for this page and allows you to compare any two | ||
| + | * Manage Subscriptions - allows you to be notified by email of changes to a page or within a namespace | ||
| + | * Update profile - allows you to edit your personal details & settings | ||
| + | * Logout - like it says! | ||
| + | * Sitemap - takes you to a hierarchic view of the whole wiki | ||
| + | * Back to top - nips up to the top of the current page | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Simple text edits ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Open up the editor using the 'Edit this page' buttton. | ||
| + | You'll see that the wiki does not use a WYSIWYG editor, | ||
| + | instead you work with its text markup system. | ||
| + | |||
| + | For simple text, just type! | ||
| + | * pressing enter **twice** will break a paragraph | ||
| + | * highlight a piece of text and then make it **bold** or //italic// with the buttons at the top of the editor panel | ||
| + | * there are button to give headings at five levels | ||
| + | |||
| + | When finished, you can preview the changed page. Only when you click the 'Save' button are your changes committed permanently so others can see them. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you change your mind about the changes you made, the 'Cancel' button will discard your changes and release the lock on the page (so others can edit it). | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Create a new page ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | - Edit an existing page and insert %%[[newpagename]]%% - [[newpagename]] | ||
| + | - Save that page and click on the link you just created - you will be told the page does not exist and invited to create it. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Note this is the reverse of normal web site building logic where one would expect to create a page before creating a reference to it! | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Creating links ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Internal ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Links to other VViki pages can be made using the 'Internal Link' button which will automatically create a link to the page you select with its top header as the text - e.g. %%[[playground:playground|PlayGround]]%% - [[playground:playground|PlayGround]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== External ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you just paste a URL (the whole thing including the initial %%http://%%) into the text, it will automatically be made into a link - http://www.ofhs.org.uk/ | ||
| + | |||
| + | Alternatively, use the 'External Link' button on the editor and put your URL and display text into the skeleton inserted by the button - %%[[http://example.com|External Link]]%% - like this - %%[[http://www.ofhs.org.uk|OFHS web site]]%% - giving the result [[http://www.ofhs.org.uk|OFHS web site]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Email ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | This is really easy, just enclose the email address between < and > - %%<webmaster@ofhs.org.uk>%% - <webmaster@ofhs.org.uk> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Upload a file ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | - edit the page on which you want the upload to appear | ||
| + | - click the 'Add Images and other files' button | ||
| + | - select the file using the 'choose' button | ||
| + | - then use the 'upload' button so the file appears in the list of files | ||
| + | - click on the file you uploaded to exit the upload manager and place a reference to it in the page you are editing | ||
| + | |||
