- 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]]
- Error creating thumbnail: File missing.
See Help with Images for all the stuff you can do with them.
- embed external images in pages using a url or an html <img src=url> tag
- use extensions to embed video and sound. For example, use <html5media height="720" width="1280">File:Example.mp4</html5media> -
- there are lots of useful extensions people have written and are pretty easy to get working
- consult the User's Guide for more information
