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

  1. From the main page, click the category in which you want to enter your article (e.g., Scripting)
  2. A list of all existing topics is displayed. To add a new topic, click edit.
  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.
  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.
  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 Cindy and she will edit the topic.
