Contents
Adrift Wiki Organisation
The Main page is organised into the following sections:
Contents
This section is for general information about installation, setup and the user interface.
The Main Items
This is reserved for the 10 Adrift "Items". You should not change this list.
Other stuff
Articles about specific parts of the user interface such as specific dialog boxes, and about the Runner.
Importing and Exporting
Modules and other file types that can be imported into or exported from an Adrift TAF file.
Tutorials
Short tutorials should be added to the "How do I...?" tutorial. Large complex tutorials with screen captures will be written to a new page and a link added here.
Editing Pages
There are three main ways to edit a wiki page.
- Click on a red link to create a new page.
- Click on the Edit tab at the top of a page to edit the entire page or the section headings.
- Click on [Edit] to the right of a section heading to edit only that heading.
Toolbar
At the top of the editing text box is a toolbar that looks like this:
