Getting started with wiki

A wiki is a collaborative website that everyone can edit. You may browse and read any article on the this site. In order to update or add content, you must first create an account. On a wiki site, each specific topic is given its own page. For instance, the Field inspection tool page describes an open source software development initiative by that name. Since wiki pages are truly web pages, they may contain rich content including text, images, links to other pages (both inside and outside the wiki), video, audio and more. Following are answers to common questions:

How do I find a page?
In the left column is a search box. Enter search term and click Go or Search button to find matching article with search term in the title or text content.

How do I edit a page?
To edit a page, simply click the edit link that appears at the top of each page. A form will appear, containing the existing markup. When you have finished making modifications, click the Save button to commit your changes.

How do I create a new page?
There are several paths to creating a new page:


 * Create a link to the page on another page, then click on the red link which appears
 * Browse to the intended location of the page, e.g. http://www.foowiki.org/index.php?title=New_page and click on the edit link.

An unsuccessful search for a page will contain a link which allows you to edit that new page.
