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.

Creating new pages

Enter your new page title in the "search" bar on the left, press the "Go" button

This results in a failed search page, but note the first sentence that says:

No page with this exact title exists, trying full search

The phrase "this exact title" is a URL link which will take you into the editor for this new page. Add content there, save and you have created the new page.

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.
