My Helpful Links

From Wistful.net

This page will contain links to things I have found to be helpful with using the MediaWiki code.

• MediaWiki User's Guide
• Wikitext talks all about the fancy MediaWiki text formatting options.
• MediaWiki guide for system administrators
• Wistful.net:Searching
• Want to create a new page? Go to the Main Page, replace Main_Page in the URL with what you want to use as the title of your new page. Make sure to use "_" (the underscore) in place of spaces. Hit enter and in the page you go to there will now be an Edit link. Alternatively, if you're currently writing a page and want to link to a subject that does not exist, use the normal linking method to go to that new subject page. The new link will appear red to indicate a broken/missing page. You can then click on that link and edit it.
• If a page seems to be cached and you can't seem to refresh it with shift-f5 or ctrl-f5 then try adding ?action=purge to the end of the URL (see this MediaWiki FAQ entry for reference.)
