Categories

  • Help:Category MediaWiki
  • Categories are made by adding [[Category:Gardening]] at the bottom of a page (for the category 'Gardening'). To add other categories, simply add a new line, for example [[Category:Trees]]. If you want to the category 'Trees' to be a subcategory of the category 'Gardening' then simply add [[Category:Gardening]] to the page that was generated for the Category:Trees. The software automatically generates pages with alphabetical lists of all subcategories and pages in a category.

Templates

You can copy templates from other wikis, or also easily make them yourself. For example, suppose you want to start each page with 'Welcome to Eagle Rock Wiki. We have done our best to provide you with the best possible teaching for your internal-, external- and spiritual growth.' Make a template page on this website with the title: Special:Welcome. In the text of this page you write the entire welcoming lines. In each new page where you want to insert the welcoming text, you write Template:Welcome and the template generates the longer welcoming lines. In the same way you can add code to the template page.

Comments

To add a comments section at the bottom of a page, add {{Comments}} at the bottom of the page.

Table of Contents placed to the right

To make the Table of Contents box go to the right side of the page, add {{TOC right}}, preferably right after the introduction to the page, and before the first section.
