Help:Create an article

From Ignatian Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

There are several ways to create a new article in the Ignatian Wiki:

  1. Use the create article box on the Main page. Go by clicking on the Ignatian Wiki site logo on the top left of any page or by clicking on this link. At the bottom center of the main page, there is a box with 'Create article' below it. Type the name of the article in the box and hit enter. This will bring up an edit window for the article.
  2. Click on a red link in an existing article. Red links indicate an internal link for an article that does not yet exist and when you click on this link, an edit window for the article comes up.
  3. Type the name of the article in the URL address window after http://en.IgnatianWiki.org/ and then hit enter. This should bring up a message saying the article does not yet exist and asks whether you want to edit it. Select the link to edit the page.

Now that you have an edit window, enter the text for the article, enter a short summary in the summary box (e.g., 'Created new article'), and select the 'Show Preview' button. The page is not yet saved, but the preview will show you how the page appears. Make any adjustments you need in the edit window and when you are satisfied with the appearance, select the 'Save page' button.
