Wiki Wiki For Beginners

How To Use Wiki:

Editing a Page

go to the bottom of the page, hit edit, edit the page as you desire, hit save. Line Spacing (useful when writing poetry). when writing on wiki pressing enter once to start a new line doesn't make it start a new line. if you don't want that, press enter twice, which makes your writing double-returned; or put a space before every line, which makes wiki display your post in the fashionable courier font.

Deleting a Page

edit the page, highlighting and deleting all the text. save.

Restoring a Deleted Page

go to the bottom of the page, click ShowChanges, then after the page reloads, hit ShowStrikeout. Copy all the deleted text, edit the page, paste all the text, and save.

Restoring a Deleted Entry

if you post at the same time as another person, the most recent post will show up on the page. sometimes you can recover the previous post by following the procedure for restoring a deleted page.

you will not be able to do this if the post that shows up on the page was started before the other post. if this happens, the only person who can recover the post is the one who posted it, by using the back button on their browser.

~by jafe, who knows nothing about wiki but who has explained it so many times and acquired such lyricism on the matter as to make her want to record it, on this, the Seventeenth Day of March, one of the Ides of March, 2002 Anno Domini. for posterity. please add.~
