Editing pages and text in the Interactive Map of Gibraltar Wiki Site
Thank you for agreeing to provide your input into this web-site. There are simple rules to ensure that your pages and edits remain unaltered. Follow these and you should see the fruits of your labour pay of;
- Ensure that your information is accurate and up to date
- Check for spelling, grammar, etc (it helps to write the text on a word processor and then cut and paste it here)
- Do not insult or use profanity of any type.
- Keep the comments factual and not opinion based.
- Do not add links to commercial sites, shops, restaurants, etc.
Editing existing pages
Click the edit page tab Make changes to the text in the edit box. Make sure you write clearly and concisely, and make sure your edit does something to improve the page. If you're making normal changes to the text like fixing spelling mistakes or grammar, inserting new sentences, etc, then you don't have to worry too much about formatting. When you do need to use some type of formatting, you do it using wiki syntax, see Formatting for some of the common types of formatting used. Optionally, enter a short note in the Summary box describing your changes. Optionally preview your changes with the Preview button. Click the Save page button.
Adding a new page
You can use the wiki's URL for creating a new page. Type:
Replacing ARTICLE with the name of the page you wish to create, you will be taken to a blank page which indicates that no article of that name exists yet. Clicking the "edit" page tab at the top of the page will take you to the edit page for that article, where you can create the new page by typing your text, and clicking submit.
Regards
