To get the most out of this wiki, it will be helpful to know a little bit about how the information is organized. If you have ever used [https://www.wikipedia.org/ Wikipedia] before, this site should look very familiar to you. It uses [https://www.mediawiki.org MediaWiki], the same powerful software that Wikipedia uses, just on a much smaller scale.

==Internal Links==

One of the things that makes wikis so cool is that you can very easily link to other pages. When creating or editing a page, simply enclosing the designated text within double square brackets, will create a new link to a page with that name.
 
For example, if you wanted to create a link to a page called "Decomposed", you would just encapsulate it in double brackets like this: ''<nowiki>[[Decomposed]]</nowiki>'' which would create the following link: [[Decomposed]]
 
If the page already exists it will display the link in blue, if it does not, in is red, like this: [[ABCDEFG]]. Even though this page does not exist yet, all you have to do is click on the link and it will create the new page for you. All you have to do is add the content.
 
What is so cool about this is that editors can easily create pointers to existing internal pages just by putting brackets around the plain words, without having to use any hyper-text. For example, let's say that we are working on a new page for a new [[MODE Skateboards]] deck and we want to put a link to the [[MODE Tail Skid Plate]] so visitors can easily go right to the page with information about the compatible skid plate. In standard HTML, you would have to type out ''<nowiki>"<a href="http://freestylekb.com/wiki/index.php?title=MODE_Tail_Skid_Plate">MODE Tail Skid Plate</a>"</nowiki>'', but with wiki links, all you have to do is type ''<nowiki>[[MODE Tail Skid Plate]]</nowiki>''. Any existing text can be easily turned into a link this way.
 
==Dynamic Content==
Many of the links in this site are dynamically created, which is another reason why wikis are so powerful. For example, check out this page: [[Powell Peralta Rodney Mullen Chess Re-Issue Deck]]. The Make, Skater and Artist field links are automatically created from the template that the page uses. The categories at the bottom of the page are also dynamically created based on the content of the page.

Introduction

To get the most out of this wiki, it will be helpful to know a little bit about how the information is organized. If you have ever used Wikipedia before, this site should look very familiar to you. FSKB uses MediaWiki, the same powerful software that Wikipedia uses, just on a much smaller scale.
