See About FusionWiki for information on the kind of content that should be included.

Adding content

To add content, first

Modifying an existing page

Simply click on 'edit' and enter your modifications on any page. More detailed information on editing and formatting is available below (help sources).

Creating a new page

There are two basic ways of creating a new page:

  • Type the title of the new page in the search box on the left and click 'Search'. If the page is not found, the search results include an option to create a page with that title (shown as a 'red link').
  • Include a link to a non-existing page on an existing page. After saving your changes, this link will show as a 'red link'. Clicking on the red link will automatically create the corresponding new page. This method of page creation is preferred, as it guarantees that the new page is referred to from an existing page.

Do not hesitate to include short or incomplete entries. Other visitors will correct and expand them.

Do I need a user account?

To edit text, you don't need a user account, but to upload material (images, files) you do. See below for allowed file formats. It may also be convenient to create a user account (using the 'log in' link at the top of the page) to avoid the reCAPTCHA with each significant edit.

Advanced topics

File formats

The wiki accepts the following standard file formats:

Movies (e.g., in the avi format) should be converted to gif first, using e.g. ImageMagick (usually available on unix systems).
