Wiki editing for noobs

From Entropia Directory wiki

Welcome noob,

this guide will help you achieve the greatness of a powerful wiki editor in 30 seconds. After you finish this guide, you are ready for the master degree available at the Edit guide.

So let's begin. You are now reading the Wiki editing for noobs page. This means you are a noob. As such, how about you create your first page.

Wiki pages are hard to be created alone. Relationship to another page is implied. You see in normal text alot of red and blue links. The blue means the page refers to an existing page. The red means the page is not created and can be created if you wish to do so.

Now, this page - Noob sandbox - is empty (text should be red). Just click it, and a nice message will greet you and a normal edit box will allow you to write text. Lets start by writing your name. Just write it. Now press ENTER (the key) twice. Once means you want to see the text better and you put it on several lines. It only breaks when you have more than 1 free lines. Now as you wrote your name and pressed ENTER twice, write the * symbol. This is a bulleted list item. Write down "I love weapons!". Simple stuff, lets complicate things a little. Press ENTER, write * again and the text "I like fruit too...".

This is nice, but lets help the wiki a bit. How about we link the "weapons" and "fruit" words. This can be done by selecting the text and pressing the ab button above the edit text box. You can manually put square brackets, 2 of each kind at the beginning and the end of the linked text. You should now have something like this:

nooby noob noobish

I love weapons!
I like fruit too...

If you do, then you spent your time positively on this reading. If not, then you will read the text again and retry, you are not doing it right.
