Tutorial one: the page
From TheStudentWiki
Creating a new page
The quickest way to start a new page, from the Main Page is go to the search box on the left hand side and type in the title of your new article. In Tutorial 1, in the first image I have typed Priestley Hall into the search box and press Go to create a page with this name.
The Search Results page will be displayed. The second image in Tutorial 1 is an example of this. If a page already exists, or there is one which is similar, it will be shown on this page. If your proposed topic is new to the Wiki, click on the link Create this page.
The Editing page will be displayed. The third image in Tutorial 1 is an example of this page. You can now start to input the content of your new page. Now there are two ways that you can go about this. One way is to type your article into Word without formatting and then copy and paste it into this page. My preferred approach is to type the article directly into the Editing page screen itself. Just type the words you want to include at first. We'll come back later to look at how we improve the formatting on the page and how we include images and so on.
On your first attempt at creating a a page, I suggest you stop after a couple of sentences and save what you have done. Scroll down the outer blue scroll bar and you will see the saving options at the bottom of the screen.
Try Show preview first. Click on this button and you will see what your page will look like when it is saved. Scroll down again to the bootom and now try Save page. Your new page will be displayed. To continue editing, click on the edit button at the top of the screen. Your previous work will be displayed. Scroll down the blue bar on the right hand side until you reach the point at which you wish to continue. You can then carry on typing your article. When you are ready, go to the bottom of the screen and save the page again. This time, before you save your work, click on the box above the Save page button. This will record this change in the wiki log as a minor edit. Your last contribution was automatically logged as a new page.
Wll'll stop there for this tutorial. If you want to now find out how to format your article, go to tutorail two. If you want to find out how to find out about changes to your page, go to tutorial XX instead.
