TipForAddingPages

Step 1:

Be Careful! Think very carefully about new page names. You get one chance only. Once you make a new page, you cannot delete it. Be sure your page name is clear, saying exactly what you mean, so others can understand it. Spell well.

For some page naming ideas, see GoodStyle


This is not true on ComancheSwiki. You can change a page's name just fine.


Step 2:

Create a page link from an existing Swiki page. Do this by editing an existing Swiki page, and then add some text of your own with a link to the name of your new page, surrounded by asterisks. For example, if you decide to name your page "My New Page", you would enter *My New Page* somewhere in the text of the existing page to be linked from.

After you've saved this existing page, a "[create]" link will appear next to your new page name. Click on this link, and you will be able to edit the text of your new Swiki page.


Two processes can name Wiki pages.

1) Modify an extant page to include a new page name. In other words, add a new word, the page name, to an extant page.

Example: *Denotational Semantics Of Perl*

This page does not exist, yet. After it is typed, and saved, the server adds a question mark link, which leads to a blank page form, where the page may be entered. Click the question mark to get to the blank page form.

2) In a browser, type a URL for a new page that doesn't exist yet. The URL must end in a word with embedded capitals. The server serves a null page with the usual trailer offering to edit the page. Click the trailer to get to the blank page form. (I don't think this second method works for the current version of the Swiki server. -Doug Way)


After doing one of the above two options, write and edit the blank page form until you are done, then save it. Saving a page finishes it.
