Basic usage

How do I edit a page?

To edit a page, simply click the edit link that appears on each page. This is in the form of a tab at the top of the page. A form will appear, containing the existing markup. When you have finished making modifications, click the Save button to commit your changes.

Hint: It always pays to use the Preview button first so you can check that the edit is what you intended.

How do I create a new page?

The simplest way to create a new page is to create a link to the page on another page, then click on the red link which appears.

e.g. Example New Page << is a red link until someone creates the page with this name.

Links?

• A link to an external page is created by using one bracket at each end of the URL:

Using [http://www.snoutslouts.org/forum/ http://www.snoutslouts.org/forum/] creates http://www.snoutslouts.org/forum/

• A link to an internal page is simply two brackets at the ends, around whatever you want to call the new page (careful, it is case sensitive):

Using [[Sandpit]] creates Sandpit

Help I cant format it!

If you have tried to put your text into the Wiki and it looks horrible then you might want to use this trick:

• Put <pre> and </pre> at either end of your text.

It can make a jumble of text look a lot more readable than it would have otherwise looked.

1. Glenelg
2. Central District
3. Sturt
4. Eagles
5. North
