How Do I Start A New Page
Assuming you are already a registered contributor....
Decide where you want the article
First decide where your new page best resides :- is it a maintenance article, an information article or a modification article
Once you know which section you want to add it to open that section from the main page. For e.g. let's say you have just modified your car with a flux capacitor and want to share this mod with everyone else, open the modification link
Create A new entry for your article
Under each section (maintenance, information, modification) there are a number of different sub-sections.
Eg in Modification there are sub sections for Performance, Handling, Cosmetic, Track etc etc
Decide where your modification best belongs. For e.g. your new flux capacitor is definitely a performance mod so you'd want to put it in the performance sub section!
Alongside the sub-section of choice you will see an edit link (Right hand side in line with the sub-section title)[Don't see this, you're either not logged in or not registered to contribute] Click this edit link You'll be presented with a basic text editor containing text that looks like this :-
=Performance Modifications=
Feeling the need for speed. Here's some information on how to satisfy your desires
[[Fitting A hyperdrive]]
[[Fitting Neutron Blasters]]
The lines in [[ ]] are the interesting ones. These specify a link to a content page. It is one of these you need to add.
To do this add a new entry:-
[[Fitting a flux capacitor]]> Then click on save at the bottom of the page
When you return to the main modification page you'll now see a red link called "Fitting a flux capacitor"
The red colour means that the page does not exist yet! Click the link and it will take you to a new page where you can edit your article.
Site Organisation
Nearly all of the content on this site is fitted into categories
A Category is a notional grouping of material which covers a particular type of subject
We have created 3 main types of category for this information :-
- Maintenance
- Modification
- Information
This hopefully splits out information into topics that interest most users!
Using Categories
To make site navigation easier most of the material has been categorised depending on it's content This allows users to directly search for material based on it's categorisation
Existing categories and their content is listed below
User_profiles
Personal info page about the user. Category has a small front page which just lists all of the user profiles with a header note to say what it is.
Tag: [[Category:User_profiles]]
User_projects
Ongoing project page for each user. Category has a simple front page with a header detailing what project pages are and a list of available ones
Tag :- [[Category:User_projects]]
Maintenence
Subset of guides relating to maintenance of car only. Category has a simple front page with a list of all maintenance guides and a header saying it's unsrted
Tag : [[Maintenance]]
Modification
Subset of guides relating to modification of car Category has a simple front page with a list of all modification guides and a header saying it's unsrted Tag : [[:Modification]]
Guides
All guides Simple front page with a note to say that this is all articles Tag : [[Guides]]
Applying Tags
If you follow the creating a page guide correctly a single tag should be all that's required to fit it into the correct section
Main Site Pages
These pages are directly available from the left hand navigation pane of the web page
Main Page
This is the main face of the wiki site. It contains links to all available content. Most users will not need to change this as it simply provides convenient links into lower subsetcions. Your content should be added to those pages
Community
