Writing a new wiki page?

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Thanks to RP fac, I'm now stuck with it.

How do I go about creating a new wiki page?

My wiki has already been set up, but I couldn't find a way to write a page.

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Starting_a_new_page

To start a new page, you can click a link to the new page. This takes you to edit mode of the non-existing blank page, which allows creation.

Dumb question, what does this mean?

you tech pro you don't know... Rolling Eyes

first you need an account....
then, go to link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

that link..... you do this > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(TYPE A PAGE NAME HERE/anything) Laughing

voila. Mr. Green

Ahem, tech pro doesn't mean know everything hor. I've never dabbled with wiki before.

Anyway, I don't need Wikipedia account, I got one on my own server. The problem is how to use it?

spadeTwo SG

then i dunno liao

MyPillowTalks SG

If you want to start a new page, u must find the damn link that to the new page(which is not created, so i dunno where is the link), maybe is the create new page link, edit mode of the non-existing blank page, which allows creation.

means when u click on the link, it brings u to the mode that lets u create a new page

Confirm u'll need an account to use wikipedia.

spadeTwo SG

that was what i was trying to imply.... cuz i dun understand what mayi means by having her own website. it isnt the same as wiki mah.

hisoka SG

hmmz i think you might as well jsut go wiki and take a look.
last i saw they have quite substansive help on how to add pages/entries and also online community there to help pple.

or thats what i think i saw anyway

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Oh... like this ar...

Wait I go try. Mr. Green

ndmmxiaomayi SG

I already set up wiki on my website... the only problem is don't know how to use! Laughing

LatecomerX SG

She's probably toying with one copy of the software that powers Wikipedia. Let me try upload one copy as well and test it out.

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Yeah

Once that one is working, my FYP can start liao. Because all documentation is done on wiki. Mad

spadeTwo SG

why you dont want use wiki directly.
very simple.
you can use a word you like as long as the word/name of article haven't been published.
for eg, there isn't any page on SGF yet, so you could go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ [ type in "sgf"/"sgforums" here ]
from there, there are instructions. and im already simplifying this le. . .
if u still dun understand then good luck. Laughing

turbo_drift SG

dunno if u have tried this method.

1) type in the word u wanna find (which is not found on wiki).. (let's say, sgforums)
2) click on the "create this page" (see image)

3) put some text there
4) save page

Dunno whether is it that u want but ....... Mr. Green

LatecomerX SG

Yup, like what SpadeTwo has mentioned - append the name of the page you would like to create to the directory URL of your wiki. So if mine's here:

http://localhost/lab/wiki/mediawiki-1.11.0/index.php/

And if I want to create a page named "Mayi", I will access the page like this:

http://localhost/lab/wiki/mediawiki-1.11.0/index.php/Mayi

Then they will display something like:

From there, just click on "Edit" to add content to the page lo.
