How do I post content
Content is the be all and end all of this project
We welcome content from out members so please feel free to join in!
Specific information on how to create and organise content on this wiki can be found in the article Posting Content
For more basic/general information on how to drive a wikipedia site see the help section below
How do I edit content
If an article is plain wrong then please feel free to correct it
However, if something is not "the way I would have done it" then please do not edit the article to your method. This kind of editing could go on ad-infinitum and is not productive
Instead either make an addendum to the article with "Another method" type content or use the discussion page for your comments
Administrative Information
Users must request a login via the forum
Only staff have the rights to create a new account
All registered users may edit pages :- guidelines are on the community page
At this time photo uploading is enabled for Admin only NOT users - Create articles using hyperlinks. The admins will upload pictures for you if the content is deemed suitable and we have not run out of website space
Member Pages
Because we are a small and hopefully friendly community we can re-purpose some of the existing features to suit our setup
The Wiki software being used provides each user with two pages accessed from the top of each and every page
Feel free to add links to your profile page and your "project" page to your forum signature. This will give other users an easy way to see who you are and what you're doing.
Member Profiles
Clicking on your username will bring you to a public profile page. Here you can fill in any personal information, car information or anything else you want to publish. As with everything on the wiki this is publicly available to everyone so take extreme care if you think about posting sensitive or personal information
If you want you profile listed in the "Member Profiles" section from the main page add the following tag to the top of your page
[[Category:User profiles]]
Member projects
Next to your username there is a second link, "My Talk". In the real world this is intended to be a place where people can have conversations with you. In our smaller world we have a forum for this (remember you must be a registered forum user to access the wiki editorial features!) This leaves a blank space which you have access to that serves no purpose. This is a suitable place to create a blogesque "Project" section for things you are doing with the car.
If you want you project listed in the "Member Projects" section from the main page add the following tag to the top of your page
[[Category:User projects]]
One point of note. If you are doing a project that hasn't already been covered please consider a whole new page for this with a link to it from your "project" page. A personal note from myself, two_OH_five. As the instigator of this wiki I have created pages for all of the major activities I've carried out on the car recently in the hope that the information is of use to others. This is all linked together off of my project page Two_OH_five
Finally note that although you may edit other users talk and profile pages we will take a dim view on users who do this!
Help
Learning how to use the Wiki editing software is not too tough.
Generally speaking the little buttons at the top of the edit window are sufficient to get you through most editing requirements. Make sure you use the preview button plenty before submitting content and you should be OK. Feel free to look at the source for existing pages before adding your own
If you need more specific information on usage of the wiki editor or more advanced topics consult the User's Guide for information.
