Click the "Edit text of this page" link at the bottom. You'll see a form. The text area contains the page contents. There are Save and Preview buttons at the bottom of the page.
Two ways:
- Add a link to the non-yet-existing page. If you want to include spaces in the page title, enclose the title in square brackets. Ex: [Where's Waldo].
- Click Save. After the page reloads, you will see that next to the text you added is a questionmark.
- Click the question mark that appears after the link, and edit that new page.
- Edit the URL: append the not-yet-existing page title to the URL, after webgroup.pl Ex: http://mcc0.mcc.uiuc.edu/cgi-bin/wiki/amyoung/amyoung.pl/Found_Waldo
Note that you must use underscores to indicate spaces, and some characters like question marks aren't allowed.
- Enclose headings in equals signs. Ex:
===Title=== for <h1>Title</h1> - Enclose boldface in asterisks. Ex:
*word* → word. Three single quotes also works: '''word''' → word - Enclose italics in forward slashs. Ex:
/word/ → word. Two single quotes also works: ''word'' → word - Start a line with a space to make it code. The
<code> also works.
- Four minus signs on line all by themselves give a horizontal rule. Ex:
---- - After you've logged in, three tildes (
~~) will autosign the edits for you.
Plain hyperlinks are automatically turned into clickable hyperlinks, no <a> tag needed. If you want to supply the linked text, enclose it all in square brackets. Ex:
[http://www.oddmuse.org OddMuse Home Page] gives:
OddMuse Home Page. There's
way more to linking than just this, so look at the Odd Muse Link Patterns
