Specific editing help pages

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: Template: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 {{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.
