Beginner's Introduction

This is a beginner's guide to editing wiki pages.

It will be helpful to open up several browser windows when first experimenting with the wiki.

Wiki Markup

It is strongly recommended that you start with the test wiki: http://testwiki.aplteam.com/ to learn the general wiki syntax and to gain some experience. You will find special beginners advice in the test wiki.

Want to contribute to the wiki but not willing to learn the wiki syntax?

In that case you can prepare your document in your preferred text editor and email it to KaiJaeger when ready. I am willing to put it on the wiki for you. However, I must be able to open your document in Word.

Preconditions for changing/adding pages

Note that you must create a user account and log into the wiki before you can change or add a page.

Creating a New Page

To add a new page to the Wiki follow these steps:

1. Look for an appropriate page you want to put a link on.

2. Change that page by adding the link. Using CamelCase is the easiest way to do so, but you can also use more sophisticated links; Refere to HelpOnLinking for details.

3. Click at the link you have just created. This gives you the opportunity to created a new page from scratch.

Next Steps

You should now be ready to edit pages on the APL wiki. See EditingGuidelines for more details. If you need further help, email to [MAILTO]kai@aplteam.com
