  • add new pages by
    • typing a title inside double square brackets (e.g. [[my title]]) when you edit a page. This makes a link to it: ooh look, a page to edit, which you can click on and edit
    • search for a title, and if it's not there, click create the page ..
    • you can set up a "create new page" page, stick it in tools etc
  • format the text, organise subsections, make lists and lots of other things - see wiki formatting guide
  • put pages in categories by typing [[Category:some category]] somewhere in them. These are then listed in special index pages, accessed on the left or listed in your wikipages.
  • add links to pages already in the wiki by typing the title inside double square brackets - e.g. Why I think a wiki would be good for the school
  • add external links by putting a url, then a space, then a title in single square brackets - e.g. What on earth is {!ctf}?
  • upload files like images and videos (under Tools on the left) onto the wiki, and put them in pages by typing [[File:filename.extension|options|caption]]
