Help:How to add a topic

Wikis are specifically designed for users to submit their own content. To create a new topic, complete the following steps.

Quick and easy
The simplest and quickest way to add a new topic is to type the name of the topic you want to create (e.g., Scripting with STRIDE) in the search box and press Go. When the search finds nothing, click the red link create this page.

• Important: Please remember to include a category tag at the bottom of each article, linking it to its appropriate category (KB, AppNotes, etc.). Do this by typing [[Category:Category Name]] (e.g., [[Category:KB]]) at the bottom of your article. This will automatically assign your new topic to its appropriate category.
  
  

Or, you can start by adding your topic to the list:

1. From the main page, click the category in which you want to enter your article (e.g., Samples).
2. A list of all existing topics is displayed. To add a new topic, click edit.
   Hint: if a topic/link is blue, it already exists. If a topic/link is red, it does not yet exist but can be created by clicking the link.
3. 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.
4. 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.
Then add the content of your topic:
5. Click your red topic.
6. Your topic will open in the editor. Type in your content and click Save page when you are done.

• Important: Please remember to include a category tag at the bottom of each article, linking it to its appropriate category (KB, AppNotes, etc.). Do this by typing [[Category:Category Name]] (e.g., [[Category:KB]]) at the bottom of your article. This enhances ease of navigation as well as conveniently grouping the topics into category headings on the Main Page.

7. Your new topic will then appear in the category list in blue, indicating it exists.
8. To edit your topic at any time, simply click the topic name to open an editor window.
9. When you are done, email our Webmaster for proofing.

Please note that editing the Main Page is restricted. If you have a topic or article that you think should be displayed there, please email the Webmaster with the request.
