Articles
The simplest structure in the Wiki is the article, which is a page of content relating to this site. This very page is an article, and while the terms page and article may be casually used interchangeably, a page with informative content is strictly an article, while there are many different types of pages throughout the Wiki.
Creating an Article
The first step to using the Wiki is to create an article.The easiest way to do this is by clicking an existing link to an uncreated article page. These will show up as Redlinks in the articles, and can be created by anybody.
The second method to creating an article page is to jump directly to an uncreated page by URL (web address). Format of URL depends on and is format of /wiki/Page or index.php?action=wiki;page=Page, where bold part is name of page.
Editing an Article
Editing an article is very similar to creating an article. Navigation is the same, except that normal links, which appear like a normal link. Clicking on these links will load the article in question, and from there, the edit link in the menu box on the upper right side of the article will load the edit page.
The page loaded looks very similar to the forum Post page, and functions in much the same way. The main differences in looks, is the Edit Summary text box, which allows for a description of an edit to anyone viewing the article's history page, and the Lock Page checkbox, which locks the page so that none but Wiki administrators to edit the page (not recommended for normal use).
Categories
A category is another type of page in the Wiki, one with the sole purpose of organizing articles of similar content.
Creating a Category
Creating a category is very simple. When editing an article, simply inserting [[Category:Category Name]], where Category Name is the name of the category, will link the article to that category. If the category is not yet created, it will appear as a Redlink until it is created. As of right now, the Wiki has a bug in which the Category will not list pages until it has content. Please follow the instructions for Editing an Article to give the Category some content, in order to make the page listing appear.
Editing a Category
Editing a Category's content functions in the same way as Editing an Article. To add or remove articles from a Category, add or remove the [[Category:Category Name]] (where Category Name is the name of the category) link in the article via its edit page.
Templates
Templates are pages written exclusively to be included in another page. These can be as simple as Work In Progress messages, or as complex as a information sidebar, written to deliver a summary or specific details of a particular subject at a glance.
Templates are usually prefixed with "Template:" and this is assumed by template syntax.
Creating a Template
(Todo: write something that actually helps)
Creating a template often requires a healthy knowledge and comfort level of code, particularly HTML code, and an understanding of the if...else structure, although simpler templates can be created with less understanding.
Using a Template
Using a template in an article depends on the type of template. A template without parameters (such as a simple message template) can be used by simply inserting {{template name}} (where template name is the name of a Template:template name) into the article when editing.
When a template has parameters, these can be filled by using the vertical separator or pipe | to separate parameters. Its location depends on for which area keyboard is made for. Usually on the keyboard key above Enter, reguiring shift to use, or next to left shift, requiring Alt gr to use.
For example, a template with parameters numbered 1, 2 and 3 can be used by this syntax:{{template name|first parameter text|second parameter text|third parameter text}}
A template with named parameters can be used with this syntax: {{template name|text=first parameter text|name=my name|age=409}}
Files
Files are special type of page and they are created when file is uploaded via Upload file page.
