[edit] Whooshup Wiki Help Page
[edit] What's a Wiki? What's WikiMedia?
A wiki is just a program that allows users to easily add, link, and change content. The wiki concept is that it should be extremely easy for a web user to get on the site, move around, and change/add textual information. There are many different programs that qualify as wikis. To get an idea of this, check out this Wikipedia page on Wiki Software. This Whooshup Wiki is based on the same wiki program that Wikipedia uses - that's why it looks a lot like Wikipedia. It is called MediaWiki.
[edit] How to Get Help
Since this wiki is based on one of the most common and powerful wiki programs out there, it will be easy to get information on how to use it. Most of what you can find out, or have already learned, about using Wikipedia, will also apply to this wiki. There are all sorts of resources available if you google Wikimedia.
[edit] Make an Account for yourself
It's important to make yourself an account - there should be a link to do that in the upper right. It enables you to work on content and everyone else know who is doing what. If you don't make an account with your basic info, your changes will just be entered under your computer's IP address, and eventually I will end up asking why you aren't using a proper user account!
[edit] Just jump in and make a page
The best way to learn is to jump in and make a page, then link from it and to it from other pages. Do not be afraid to experiment. If you mess something up I'll probably be able to fix it, and we'll all forgive you anyway. To start a new page, just search for it on the left side - even though you know it's not there, once you search for a title that it can't find, the wiki will ask if you want to create it. Once you are in the editing page, you will immediately want a quick rundown of how to do simple things like headers and links - try this Cheatsheet from Wikipedia and go from there.
