Introduction
To make editing pages easier for everyone, we have installed a visual editor by default. This visual editor allows you to edit a wiki page much like you would a standard word processing document. Standard MediaWiki editing may also be used using the [[]] symbol on the edit tool bar or set as the default in your User Preferences.
To begin editing pages:
- First create an account and confirm your account through e-mail
- Once confirmed, click the 'pencil' icon on any section or the 'edit' link at the top of the page
- Use the visual editor toolbar to add links, change font formatting, set hierarchy of headings, insert tables and media
- Save the page periodically so you don't lose your work and to see how your changes looks as you edit
Tips
- Right-Clicking with the mouse is a shortcut to insert Links or images.
- For Spell Correction use Ctrl-Right-Click.
- To insert a YouTube Video use an EmbedVideo command such as {{#ev:youtube|xxxxx}} with xxxxx changed to the Video ID. (Note: this may be inserted/deleted using the VisualEditor but it is necessary to switch to MediaWiki editing for modification)
- Files and Images may be uploaded as inserted or by using the Upload file page on the leftside Tools Menu.
- C Programs with syntax highlighting can be inserted with tags: <pre class="brush:c"> </pre>
- C# Programs with syntax highlighting can be inserted with tags: <pre class="brush:csharp"> </pre>
