Thanks for your help contributing. You are presumably here because you can't figure out how to, though.

First less is that, unlike MediaWiki, there's no tab to edit. Easiest way to get to edit mode is to double-click the page. Yes, the entire page is available when you do that, again unlike MediaWiki. However, double-clicking will scroll you to the point where you clicked, so at least you don't have to scroll to find the edit point you want.

To make a new page, add a link to it. Then follow the link, and click to make the page, etc.

Some help documentation not hosted here, from the guys who made the system:

Discussing, and Scope of Changes

We are writing this to publish it all in a book next year sometime. Instead of waiting, as well as to get information from the community, the information is being posted here.

However, that also means we care a lot about what is being posted, how it is written, how much information changes, and so forth. Please be respectful of the information currently on a page, and of other's edits. If you make a change we should be aware of (other than just a typo), there will be some sort of annotation style we'll dream up here soon.

Special Formats for This Wiki

A few more may be added, but mostly I have learned my lesson and will try to keep it simple. If anything here is not clear, just ask for details or examples:

  • Never use the "h1" title within a page. The single equal sign title level displays as H1, but the page title is already set to that. To keep semantic sense, start all content with the two equal signs, or H2.
  • Always give images alt text. Do this with a pipe after the image reference, thusly:  {{attachment:image.png|Alt Text}} 

  • Unless we change our minds, align illustrations for patterns to the right. Just add yet another pipe, and the code to align, like this:  {{attachment:image.png|Alt Text||align="right"}} 

  • Try to not expose link URIs on the page. Use "linktext" as described in the format notes below the edit box.

Stub Pages

If you make a page, but it's a stub (just notes, or otherwise incomplete), please add the code inside this gray box to the top of the page:

{{{#!wiki yellow/solid
This page is a stub. It's just something to get notes down, and is not final in any way.
}}}
