Restricted Pages

We are currently working on the mechanism to set up restricted areas within this wiki for special projects. Please contact User:Hiram to request the setup of a restricted access project. Please standby, this is under development.

Creating new pages

Pages must have links to them, otherwise they are orphaned. Therefore, to create a new page, create an internal link to it from some page, then access the link. You will be brought up in the editor for the page and content can be created.

Creating URL Links from your pages

For internal links to pages within this Wiki: In your page text, enclose the title of the page you want to link to in double square brackets: [[Main Page]] which appears as Main Page.

For external links, place the http:// URL in your page with the title following, highlight the whole thing, and then press the fourth button from the left at the top of the editor bar, looks like a little world image. It adds single [square brackets] around your URL which causes it to be an external reference.
