== '''<u><big>Navigation</big></u>''' == Every page on a [[Main Page|WIKI FOSSCELL NITC]] site not only has information to show you but also allows you to move to other pages. This is called "navigation". The three main navigation elements are.. # The [[mediawikiwiki:Help:Navigation#Sidebar|sidebar]]. You need to log-in before seeing all the sidebar options. # Links (often called [[mediawikiwiki:Help:Navigation#Page_tabs|tabs]]) which relate to the page currently displayed: its associated discussion page, the version history, and – most notably – the edit link. # [[mediawikiwiki:Help:Navigation#User_links|User links]]; as an anonymous user, you'll see a link to create an account or log in. As a logged-in user you have a collection of personal links == '''<u><big>Editing a page</big></u>''' == It's very easy to edit the contents of a wiki: # Click the "'''Edit'''" [[mediawikiwiki:Help:Navigation#page-tabs|page tab]] at the top of the page. # Make changes to the text. # Click the "'''Save page'''" button. Simple as that! But there is a catch, there are some rules that you need to follow while editing pages... The number one rule of wiki editing is to '''be bold'''. Go ahead—make changes. Other people can correct any mistakes you make, so have confidence, and give it a try! There are all kinds of editing conventions, rules, and philosophies for the editing of wiki pages, but the '''be bold''' rule is the most important of these! An edit can contribute whole new paragraphs or pages of information, or it can be as simple as fixing a typo or a spelling mistake. In general, try to add or edit text so that it is clear and concise. Most importantly, make sure you are always aiming to do something which ''improves'' the contents of the wiki. When you need to use some type of formatting, such as for new headings or bolding of text, you do this using wiki syntax or the buttons in the edit [[metawikimedia:Help:Edit_toolbar|toolbar]] above the editing zone. == '''<u>Starting a new page</u>''' == There are several ways to start a new page. === <u>From the search box</u> === If you search for a page that doesn't exist, then you will be provided with a link to create the new page. ==== <u>Using the URL</u> ==== You can use the wiki's URL for creating a new page. The URL to an article of the wiki is usually something like this: * <code><nowiki>http://wiki.fosscell.org/index.php/</nowiki>'''ARTICLE'''</code> If you replace <code>'''ARTICLE'''</code> with the name of the page you wish to create, you will be taken to a blank page which indicates that no article of that name exists yet. <comments />
