New Editor Advice

WELCOME!

Thank you for your interest in helping whipipedia.org.

To do any editing you must first be logged in.

If you've never edited a wiki before it can be a little daunting, but don't worry to much, any mistakes that you might make can be undone as a complete history of all changes are kept.

If you have something that you want to add/delete/fix in an existing page, just use the "edit" button in the upper left area of the page.

To create a new page, just search for what you want the title to be. If the page doesn't exist yet, the system will ask if you want to create it.

One of the first hurdles of editing a wiki page is the fact that we don't have a WYSIWYG editor. Editing a page requires a little bit more work than just editing a word document. Here are some editing directions to help you get started. If nothing else, you can always find a page similar in look to what you're trying to create and select "edit" just to see how it's done then cancel out of it.

The software being used to support whipipedia.org is called "mediawiki". If you're unsure how to do something you can google mediawiki and the subject matter. The mediawiki site has lots of detailed information on how to use the software.
