= How to Create a New Page = | |||
There are several ways to start a new page. | |||
# Wikilinks: If you (or anyone else) create a link to an article that doesn't exist yet, the link will be colored red, <span style="color: #ba0000">like this</span>. Clicking a red link will take you to the edit page for the new article. Simply type your text, click save and the new page will be created. Once the page has been created, the link will change from <span style="color: #ba0000">red</span> to <span style="color: #002bb8;">blue</span> (<span style="color: #5a3696;">purple</span> for pages you've visited) indicating that the article now exists. Usually this is the best way to create a new page, because it means that right from the start, the page will be linked from at least one other place on the wiki (and typically you will want to mesh it into other related pages later). | |||
# From the search box: If you search for a page that doesn't exist (using the search box and "Go" button on the left of the page) then you will be provided with a link to create the new page. | |||
= Links = | |||
=== Internal Links === | |||
[[Main Page]] | |||
Code: | |||
<nowiki>[[Main Page]]</nowiki> | |||
==== Piped Links ==== | |||
Piped links allow you change the displayed text for an internal link. Create a normal internal link, then put a pipe, "|" after the page name, then enter the text you want to appear instead. For example, here we will link to the "Russ Howell" page, but it will be displayed as [[Russ Howell|Russ]]. | |||
Code: | |||
<nowiki>[[Russ Howell|Russ]]</nowiki> | |||
==== Word-Ending Links ==== | |||
Word-ending links will automatically extend link names with certain endings. Adding an "s" to the end of [[Kickflip]], like <nowiki>"[[Kickflip]]s"</nowiki> will create the link [[Kickflip]]s. Likewise, <nowiki>"[[Pogo]]ing"</nowiki> will create [[Pogo]]ing.<br> | |||
Code: | |||
<nowiki>[[Kickflip]]s</nowiki> | |||
<nowiki>[[Pogo]]ing</nowiki> | |||
<nowiki>[[Help]]ers</nowiki> | |||
=== Linking to Categories === | |||
To link to a category you use the syntax <nowiki>[[:Category:<category>]]</nowiki> to link to a category. The semicolon (":") at the beginning is very important. Without it, the page itself will be added to the category specified, instead of linking to it. Category links can also use Piped links and this is the preferred way to use them for a smoother reading experience. Here are some examples:<br> | |||
*Default Link: [[:Category:Skaters]] | |||
*Piped Link: [[:Category:Skaters|Skaters]] | |||
Code: | |||
<nowiki>[[:Category:Skaters]]</nowiki> (Default) | |||
<nowiki>[[:Category:Skaters|Skaters]]</nowiki> (Piped Link) | |||
=== External Links === | |||

=== Galleries === | |||
The gallery tags makes it very easy to create a gallery of multiple thumbnail images. This is useful for arranging multiple images with a uniform size onto a page. You can add as many images as you like between the opening and closing gallery tag, one image per line. Here is an example: | |||
<gallery> | |||
File:MODE Skateboards Logo 1.jpg|MODE Skateboards Logo | |||
File:Decomposedlogo.jpg|Decomposed Logo | |||
File:Moonshine skateboards logo.png|Moonshine Skateboards Logo | |||
File:Seismic Skate Inc Logo.jpg|Seismic Skate Logo | |||
</gallery> | |||
Code: | |||
<nowiki> | |||
<gallery> | |||
