Is swīðe ēaðe tō ādihtenne wiki-tramet. Simply click on the "
Ādihtan þisne tramet
" link at the top or bottom (also on the sidebar) of a Wiki page to change the page itself, or click on "
Discuss this page
" link and then on "Ādihtan þisne tramet" to write on the corresponding
talk page
. This will bring you to a page with a text box containing þone ādihtendlican traht þæs wiki-trametes.
Then type away, wrīt sceorte
ādihtunge scortnesse
on the small field below the edit-box and when finished press "Save"! You can also preview your changes before saving if you like. Depending on your system, pressing Enter while the edit box is not active (there is no typing cursor in it) may have the same effect as pressing Save.
Please use a
neutral point of view
, and please
cite your sources
so others can check and extend your work.
It is often more convenient to copy and paste the text first into your favorite text editor, edit and spell check there, and then paste back into the browser to preview. This way, you can also keep a local backup copy of the pages you authored so that you can make changes offline.
Minor edits
When editing a page, a
logged-in
user has the option of flagging the edit as a "minor edit". When to use this is somewhat a matter of personal preference. The rule of thumb is that an edit of a page that is spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a "minor edit". A major edit is basically something that makes the entry worth relooking at for somebody who wants to watch the article rather closely, so any "real" change, even if it is a single word. This feature is important, because users can choose to
hide
minor edits in their view of the Recent Changes page, to keep the volume of edits down to a manageable level.
The reason for not allowing a user who is not logged in to mark an edit as minor is that vandalism could then be marked as a minor edit, in which case it would stay unnoticed longer. This limitation is another reason to log in.
The wiki markup
In the left column of the table below, you can see what effects are possible. In the right column, you can see how those effects were achieved. In other words, to make text look like it looks in the left column, type it in the format you see in the right column.
You may want to keep this page open in a separate browser window for reference. If you want to try out things without danger of doing any harm, you can do so in the

What you type
Sue is studying
discrete mathematics
First letter of target is automatically capitalized.
Internally spaces are automatically represented as underscores (typing an underscore has the same effect as typing a space, but is not recommended).
Thus the link above is to http://www.Wikibooks.org/wiki/Discrete_mathematics, which is the article with the name "Discrete mathematics".
Sue is studying [[discrete mathematics]].
Link to a section on a page, e.g.
List_of_cities_by_country#Morocco
(links to non-existent sections aren't really broken, they are treated as links to the page, i.e. to the top)
[[List_of_cities_by_country#Morocco]]
Same target, different name (""):

Automatically hide stuff in parentheses:

Automatically hide namespace:
Staff lounge
The server fills in the part after the | when you save the page. Next time you open the edit box you will see the expanded piped link. A preview interprets the abbreviated form correctly, but does not expand it yet in the edit box. Press Save and again Edit, and you will see the expanded version. The same applies for the following feature.
Automatically hide stuff in parentheses:

Automatically hide namespace:
