| − | Editing pages is pretty easy. Just log in, and press edit.
| + | Right on-this helped me sort thnigs right out. |
| − | | |
| − | When you'd like to create a new entry, enter the name (should be clean and short) in the text box on the main page, and then write your article according to your taste.
| |
| − | You should not forget one thing! Put your new article into a category. To do so, simply add any of the following to the bottom of the page:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <nowiki>[[Category:Game]]</nowiki>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <nowiki>[[Category:Driving]]</nowiki>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <nowiki>[[Category:Competition]]</nowiki>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <nowiki>[[Category:Community]]</nowiki>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <nowiki>[[Category:Various]]</nowiki>
| |
| − | | |
| − | The double square brackets mark the text as an internal link; you can click the third button on the edit bar for a handy template. The examples are for the main categories; you can also use any of the available subcategories - the full list is at [[Special:Categories]].

| − | == Linking ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you want to link from you article to other articles, just type:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <pre>[[Link|Link text]]</pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | You can quickly display these double brackets with the third button on the editbar. For example: <nowiki>[[ZCT|ZCT10]]</nowiki> will display on screen as ZCT10 but will link to ZCT.
| |
| − | | |
| − | As long as the article name has only the first letter of the first word capitalized, links may be left in lower case - thus <nowiki>[[power gear]]</nowiki> will correctly link to the [[Power gear]] article. Another useful trick is with plurals: <nowiki>[[loop]]s</nowiki> is a handy abbreviation for <nowiki>[[loop|loops]]</nowiki>.

| − | == Redirects ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | In case you want that an abbreviation or synonym of a certain term inserted in the "Go" field or in any link point automatically to the appropriate page, just create a new page for said synonym and put the following in it...
| |
| − | | |
| − | <pre>#REDIRECT [[link to page]]</pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | ...and your redirect is ready.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Embedding images/video ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | For youtube videos enter the NAME of your youtube video like this:
| |
| − | <pre><youtube>sHJdsa83deE</youtube></pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | For images, press press the "Embed image" button, and upload the image accordingly. After a | sign you can also enter the alignment.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Tables ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The quickest way to set up a table is through the following syntax:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | {| class="wikitable"
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | ! Headings!! Of !! The !! Various !! Columns
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | Columns || Of || The || First || Row
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | Columns || Of || The || Second || Row
| |
| − | |}
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | The ''class="wikitable"'' instruction will set the appearance parameters to reasonable default values. Using ''wikitable sortable'' instead creates a dynamically-sortable table. Special formatting codes for individual cells can be added before the cell content, like this: <pre>|| <formatting codes> | <cell content> ||</pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | To apply formatting to whole rows, place the formatting codes just after the ''|-'' preceding each row; to use formatting on the whole table append them to the line with ''class="wikitable"''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Large floating tables (and sometimes images too) can cause problems by overlapping with section headers. To solve that issue, add the template <pre>{{-}}</pre> after the table to cancel floating.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Footnotes ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Footnotes can, as of now, be added through the means of an improvised scheme implemented with templates. In the text body, type <pre>{{ToFoot|footnote number}}</pre>
| |
| − | to define the link; then add <pre>{{Footn|footnote number}}</pre>
| |
| − | just before the footnote so you have an identifier and a back-link.
