How to Edit Pages

Things for Mark to do

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>
Field 1||Field 2||Field 3
Field 4||Field 5||Field 6
Field 7||Field 8||Field 9
</tab>
<tab head=top collapse=true>
Header 1||Header 2||Header 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

People must be fan/pro/mundane Anything geographical must be one of Asia/Australia/Europe/Ireland/Japan/NZ/UK/US/World (multiple places OK for joint efforts)

Conventions TBD

Mediawiki for wikidot users

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.
