If you are following in my footsteps look next at SpecialCharacters. Then try, at any Wiki page, entering "find" (say) in the box at the top right of the window and clicking the "titles" button. Now read the second lesson of the helpful Wiki course you have just found. There are so many things to learn, and so many ways to do it, that the Wiki beginner feels lost (at first) and then unsure whether there are better ways of doing it. |
