- Click the New Page link in the menu.
- Type the page title. Maximum length is 256 characters, although you might want to use a shorter title to not interfere with the navigation bar. Page titles are case sensitive, all characters are allowed except angled brackets, square brackets, curly braces and pipe characters ("<>[]{}|")
- Press the Enter key or click the OK button.
- When asked if you'd like to add a link into the main menu, accept by pressing the Enter key or clicking the OK button, or refuse by clicking the Cancel button.
- A level one header with the title of your page will be inserted for you automatically. You can edit or delete the header if you like.
- Edit the contents of the main text area by typing normally.
- Use the editor's buttons to insert code to format the text, or type the code in manually. Note that the use of plain text doesn't require any code.
- Save your changes by clicking on the Save icon in the navigation bar.
An alternate method of creating a page is to type a new page title inside nested brackets. The link will be red. Click it to create the new page. Example:
Type this into a page:
[[My new page]]
To create this:
My new page- There are four reasons why you may not be able to create a page:
- You didn't type a title for the page in the title box that popped up. In this case a message will pop up letting you know that pages must be titled and giving you an opportunity to title the page.
- There is already a page by that title. In this case a message will pop up letting you know the page already exists.
- The wiki is being run in read-only mode, so no changes are allowed. See the WoaS::Help::Wiki is read-only page for instructions on how to return the wiki to editing mode.
- You are trying to use a namespace that is reserved by WoaS. In this case a message will pop up letting you know the namespace is reserved and giving you an opportunity to choose a different title/namespace for the page.
