Tasks in WoaS
These are the tasks that you'll be doing most of- Create a new Wiki
- Adding New Pages
- Formatting Pages
- Linking Pages
- Protecting/Unprotecting Pages with Encryption.
From Windows Explorer, make a copy of the file and rename it to something like blankwiki.htm. This will be your master blank wiki from now on but first you have to remove the existing text etc from it. Open the file in your browser and click the word Advanced on the left hand menu, it's under the word Special and near the bottom.
Under the Maintenance section on the page you'll see Erase Wiki. Before you click this, check that this is a copy of a Wiki and not your masterpiece that you have worked on for many months. It will require two confirmations, so if you click ok twice and lose all your work, you'll know who to blame!
If/When new versions of WoaS come along, I suggest you repeat this process and have an up-to-date master. It's possible to import older WoaS wikis in so if there is a killer new feature that you want, it's easy to upgrade.
You now have a blank wiki file that you can copy. Even though it is no longer on the main menu, the Special::Advanced page still exists and you can access it directly by clicking the grey spanner and screwdriver icon. Or you can edit any page and just add it as a link
[[Special::Advanced]]to that page.
Adding New Pages
The easiest way is to click the Special::New Page on the left menu. This gives you the option of adding a link to the page in the main menu. But you can add links to non existent pages at any time when editing a page. Just add the link like this inside two nested square brackets
[[C Code]]and save the page. Now click on this link which will appear in red. It will ask if you want to create the page then jump straight into editing it.
