Wikis are specifically designed to enable users to submit their own content. Our process is as follows:
- From the main page, click the category in which you want to enter your article (e.g., Scripting)
- A list of all existing topics is displayed. To add a new topic, click edit.
- The source code in the Wiki markup language for this topic is displayed. To add your topic, insert it into the list in the same format; e.g., if the list is a bulleted list, use the same asterisk + double-bracket (*[[ ]]) format as the other topics in the list.
- Click Save page when you are done. You will be returned to the category (e.g., Scripting), and your newly added topic will appear in the list in red.
- Click your red topic.
- Your topic will open in the editor. Type in your content and click Save page when you are done.
- Your new topic will then appear in the category list in blue, indicating it exists.
- To edit your topic at any time, simply click the topic name to open an editor window.
