Mediawiki editing guide

For external links, don't use the standard mediawiki syntax, but our special template which will also give access to the page on the Internet Archive, in-case it gets deleted.

{{link | website=http://taff.org.uk | text=TAFF}}
{{link | website=http://taff.org.uk | text=TAFF | capture=2019}}

For tables, don't use the mediawiki standard tables, use the SimpleTable extension with a '||' separator between columns.

<tab border=1>
Field 1||Field 2||Field 3
Field 4||Field 5||Field 6
Field 7||Field 8||Field 9
</tab>

If you have files to upload, tell the Administrators.

All pages must be in at least one category, so people must be fan/pro/mundane and Asia/Australia/Europe/Ireland/Japan/NZ/UK/US

Conventions TBD

Mediawiki for wikidot users[edit]

If you are familiar with wikidot syntax, the mapping to mediawiki is as follows

++ heading to == heading
+++ heading to === heading
**bold** to '''bold'''
//italic// to ''italic''
[[[page|text]]] to [[page|text]]
[[include stub]] to {{stub}}
[[module Redirect destination="target"]] to #REDIRECT [[target]]
For tags use [[Category:fanzine]]

Unlike Wikidot, page names are case sensitive after the first letter when used in links.
