How to edit pages on this wiki

Create an account

You have to create an account to edit pages. Just click on login, give a username like JaneSmith, a password, and an email address and click the 'create profile' button. That's it. Not much security, but a tiny bit in hopes of avoiding spam.

Once you have an account and go to edit a page, be sure to read below about Markup syntax.

Markup syntax

The markup syntax used on this wiki is restructuredText. Here are the basics:

Emphasis:

*italics*; **bold**

Headings:

Title 1    Title 2    Title 3
=======    -------    ~~~~~~~

Lists:

Use * for bullets; 1., 2., 3. for numbered.

Links:

Use trailing underscore.
To other wiki pages: LinkOne_    `Multi Word Link`_

To outside: `Link Outside`_

.. _`Link Outside`: http://somewhere.org/outside

Here is a good primer on "reST". Also, this page has some useful examples.

Undoing changes

Here is the procedure to revert changes:

1. Click on 'Info'. This is at the top of the page just to the right of the 'Edit' link.
2. You should now see a Revision History page. You can view and diff arbitrary revisions and in the right column you can click 'revert' to go back to a particular revision.
