=== Creating a Page === | |||
If one has never used a wiki before, creating a new page is not immediately intuitive; however, it's very simple once the method is known. Regardless where on the Wiki a new page is being created, the method is the same. Since User namespaces were just discussed, the example below will show how to create a page in a User namespace: | |||
# Log into the Wiki, if not already. | |||
# In the URL type <code><nowiki>https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/<namespace>:<pagename>/<subpagename></nowiki></code> | |||
#: '''Example:''' <code><nowiki>https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/User:TheCompiler</nowiki></code> | |||
#* The <namespace> field is replaced by the namespace in which the content belongs to. Note that it's always followed by a colon ( : ). | |||
#*: For the User namespace, this would be: <code>User:</code> | |||
#* The <pagename> field is replaced by the name of the page being created. | |||
#*: For the User namespace, this would be username that matches the login. | |||
#* The <subpagename> field is replaced by the name of the subpage being created. This is optional and is only show as an example. | |||
#*: For the User namespace, this would be: <code>User:TheCompiler/Sandbox</code> | |||
# Hit <kbd>Enter</kbd> to load the page. | |||
# To create the page, either click the "create this page" link in the displayed text or click the <i class="fas fa-asterisk hltx"></i> icon on the navigation bar. | |||
#* To save, there must be content in the editor box. | |||
#* Some writers have found that typing "Hi" or ''<nowiki>== Introduction ==</nowiki>'' is good enough to get the page started. | |||

Wiki Maintenance Guide
Standards and tips for editing the Step wiki
by: Step Modifications | Forum Topic
Definition of a wiki:
- "...a website or database developed collaboratively that allows users to add, delete, or revise content by using a web browser."
The Step Modifications wiki is intended to be a community-driven project; although, most contributions to date have originated from only a handful of contributors. Our goal is to make it easy for all community members to contribute by helping us maintain existing content and developing new content. We created this reference to help our userbase get more comfortable working within a wiki environment.
