Help:Editing

Editing an Existing Page

To edit a page, login or make a and account on the wiki. Then, go to the page you want to edit and hit the "edit" tab near the top of your screen. Once you arive at the page, you should see a box with a bunch of text, this is the text that is displayed when you open up that wiki page. You can now add words, edit words, delete words, even delete everything. (Not Recomended). Now, you will see little icons at the top of the box, these icons allow you to edit the appearence of the text, insert links to other wiki pages, insert images, ect. These features will be explained later. After you are done editing, you can hit the "show preview" button near the bottom of your page to see what the page will look like if you were to go to that page. Once you know that your changes are all correct, you can hit save page and the wiki page will be changed to according to your editing.

Creating a New Page

To create a completly new page, put in the name of the new page you want into the search box. A page should come up saying there is no page titled what you searched,and then a link next to it saying "you can create this page." If you click that link it will take you to an editing box where you can create your new page from scratch.

Uploading Files

In order to put up images or videos on a wiki page, you hato upload then onto the wiki first.

Editing Tools

When you are editing a page, you should see eleven little icons at the top of your editing box. When clicked on, these will allow you to further edit a page, besides just adding and editing text.

First Icon is Bold Text: The bold icon is represented by a black B and when pressed it will create something that looks like this on your page: ' Bold Text ' only there will be three apostrophes instead of four. (I cant put three or it will only show "Bold Text" bolded.) You can replace "Bold Text" with whatever text you want to be bolded. If you already have the text you want to be bolded typed, you can highlight it and hit the bold icon and three apostrophes will suround it. (You can also just manually bold it by putting three apostrophes around the text, but the icon may be faster for some people.)

Second Icon is Italic Text: The Italic Text icon is represented by a slanted or italicized I and when pressed will put Italic Text with two apostrophes on each side. Like bold, you just change "Italic Text" into whatever text you want to be italicized. You can also just highlight the text that you have already typed and hit the icon as well. And as always you can always just manually put two apostrophes on each side of a word to italicize it.

Third Icon is Internal Link: This icon is represented by an Ab underlined and colored blue. This Icon allows you to place a link to other wiki pages inside the page your editing. So if there were a wikipage titled "hammer", and I went to another wiki page that had the word hammer somewhere in its text and I highlighted it and clicked Internal Link, that word would become a link to the "hammer" wiki page. This might sound confusing, but here is what it looks like: hammer. To add an Internal Link, just highlight the text you want (make sure there is a wiki page has the word as its title.) hit the icon. If there is not a page that matches the word, the word will appear red instead of blue, and when clicked it will say there is no page with that title. The Internal Link is not case sensitive. It is a good Idea to add Interanl Links to wiki pages to make it easier for people to find stuff in the wiki.

Fourth Icon is External Link: This icon is represented by a globe with a page in the lower corner. This Icon allows you to add external links, or links to pages or websites outside the wiki. To make an external link, first click the icon, then put the full name of the website or page your linking to inbetween the two brackets. Then, while still inside the brackets, put a space and then type what word you want to represent the link. For example, If I were to put the the URL of gametechmods inbetween the two brackets, then put a space and type GTM, the word GTM will be blue, and when cliked on will take me two the Gametechmods website. If you dont put any word after the URL, the link will just be labeled "1". You can tell an External Link from an Internal Link because there will be a little square next to the word with an arrow coming out of it.

Fifth Icon is Level 2 Headline: This icon is represented by a big black A. This Icon allows you to put sub-headings into your wiki page. For example, this page is titled Editing Help:Editing, and the section your reading right now is called Editing Tools. Notice how Editing Tools looks like the title. By highlighting text and pressing the icon, you can create sub-sections easily.
