how to create and manage pages
| Edit an existing page | To start editing an article page, click on the Edit tab. |
| Create a new page | To create a new page, make a link to that page from an existing page. A good place to start is either the wiki sandbox, your user page, or a course page. Links to pages that do not exist will appear in red. Click on the red link to begin editing the new page. |
| Page Names | Spaces in page names are underscore "_" in the URL. Example: wiki.wsu.edu/ME_416 |
| Summarize your changes | Write a short edit summary in the small field below the edit box |
| Minor edits check box | For spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearrangements of text. This makes searching contributions easier, as you can choose to hide minor edits when reviewing recent changes. |
| Preview before saving | When you have finished editing, press preview to see how your changes will look--before you make them permanent. Repeat until you are satisfied, then click Save. |
| Put each article page into at least one category namespace | [[Category:Engineering]] for example. Category indexes are automatically created when there are at least two articles in that category. |
| Editing Conflicts | If someone else makes an edit while you are making yours, the result is an edit conflict. The Wiki gives you two text boxes, where the top one is the other person's edit and the bottom one is your edit. Merge your edits in the top edit box (copy and paste), and then click Preview=>Save |
| Reverting | The edit link of a page showing an old version leads to an edit page with the old wikitext. This is a useful way to restore the old version of a page. However, the edit link of a diff page gives the current wikitext. |
| Backup your work | It is good practice to copy to clipboard (Ctrl C) frequently to prevent disastrous losses from unanticipated errors. |
| Check spelling and edit in your favorite editor | You may find it convenient to copy and paste spell-checked text from your favorite editor to your wiki editor. This is a good way to maintain backup of your work. |
| Signature | ~~~ Three tildes gives your user name
~~~~Four tildes gives your name plus date/time In general, you should sign your contributions on talk/discussion pages, but not on article pages. |
