Help:Contents

From St. Louis Hackerspace Wiki

Welcome to the Help page!

I don't know how to edit a wiki!

Editing a wiki is pretty simple. I would suggest going to this page to brush up on some Wiki Syntax.

Someone changed my stuff!

One of the drawbacks to a Wiki is that people are likely to chage stuff. If you would like an adminstrator to enable protection on a page, insert the Template:RequestLock at the top of your page.

I can't chang the page that I was editing anymore

And adminstrator probably enabled page protection. Generally, any page that has been protected should include the Template:Lock at the top of the page so that users know that a page is protected.

I want to create a Portal. What should I do?

See the community portal page for instructions.

I want to create a Event. What should I do?

See the Events Wishlist if you'd like to write it down, or suggest it at the next meeting.

Why can't I post images in the Wiki?

Well...that's something the adminstrators disabled. I'm not happy about it either. Most wikispam is general text links to crap nobody is interested in. And I highly doubt anyone would post their collection of Megan Fox photos on this wiki. Eventaully, the Admins will realize that. Until then, why not make some ASCII art for illustrations? Be sure to put in in a <pre> element first. ;-)

I found some wikispam in this wiki. What do I do?

You can delete it. Also, you may want to put a Template:RequestLock at the top of the page.
