How to make a wiki page

How to make a wiki page

Step one

Make sure the page you would like to make does not exist by checking the Techwiki for a key word of what you are going to make a page about, if the subject does not exist type in the name of the page you would like to make.

example:

Click me to make larger

Then you will have a page that looks like this:

Click me to make larger

Just click on the red "create this page." to begin making your very own techwiki page, you will the have a page that looks like this:

Click me to make larger

Now here is where things get intresting, basicly just type in what you want to explane and add a tiny bit of 'code' that i am going to show you along the way. also if you want to start a new line you will have to leave a full blank line between the two lines to make a gap.

Saving your wiki page

Make sure you save your page now and then so you dont lose all your hard work, at the bottom of the page is a 'save page' button just click that BUT if you are only making a small edit please tick the 'minor edit' box (this helps not filling up the page historys log)

Warning:

If when you save you get a red error message saying you have not saved your page, just scroll down and click the save page button again, it just does this sometimes (dont ask my why)
