Help in Finding Content
- There are several ways of finding things on individual wikis. First, and most obvious, is to use the search box under the navigation section. The search engine is not that sophisticated, so your results may be far from ideal. Usually one word search terms are most reliable.
- You can find a list of all pages by clicking here or by typing "special:allpages" in the search box.
- You can find a list of all uploaded resources by clicking here or by typing "special:imagelist" in the search box.
Creating New Content
Start a New Page
- To create a new page, type the name you want to give it in the search bar. If that page doesn't exist, you will be given the option to create it. (More Information)
Organizing Page Content
- To create a table of contents at teh top of teh page, place double underscore characters on each side of the letters "TOC". (e.g. "")
- TOC content is collected from headings. headings are defined by equal signs, with the level of the heading defined by the number of equal signs. For example, two equal signs on eitehr side of a phrase makes that a highest level heading, three equal signs is a subheading of that, etc.
