What is a Wiki

From ReactOS

Jump to: navigation, search

A Wiki is a site where you can edit the contents of the pages to make the overall site better. One of the largest wikis is Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia which uses the same Wiki software as this one does. If you want to experiment with this Wiki, do it on the test page.

Notes previous users of ReactOSs UseMod Wiki that was on mok.lvcm for ages!

  • CamelCase (words with more than one capital in them that become links, e.g. WordsSmashedTogetherLikeThis) no longer works! If you're making a new page, separate the words and only capitalize what makes sense to be capitalized. The only valid linking syntax is double (square) brackets ( [[]] ). External links only need 1 pair of brackets.
    • If you see an obvious attempt at CamelCase linking, please check to see if the page exists, and if so, fix the link up.
      • Most of the existing ones now are due to the import from UseMod, where they were the primary means of linking.
If you're pasting something, be sure that it doesn't begin with a space, otherwise
it looks like this, which, besides being unexpected, ugly, and kind of hard to read (especially
if it cuts off proper line-breaks), DOESN'T word wrap!
  • This is ideal for, say, code, but incredibly annoying if only done by accident!
    • If you DO want to use this (EG. for verbatim pastes or code samples) and you don't want to put a space before all lines, you can also use the <pre> </pre> tags to do it manually.
