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.

1. Click on a red link to create a new page.
2. Click on the Edit tab at the top of a page to edit the entire page or the section headings.
3. 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:

These buttons simply write a template of wiki formatting characters into the text so you dont have to remember what all of the formatting characters do.

Inserts '''Bold text''' at cursor position. Replace Bold text with text you want shown in boldface.

Inserts ''Italic text'' at cursor position. Insert the text you want shown in Italics.

Inserts [[Link title]] at cursor position. Replace Link title with the name of the page you want to link to. Use a pipe symbol to change the way the link is displayed [[Main_Page|Displayed Text]] creates this link to the main page: Displayed Text

Inserts [http://www.example.com link title] at cursor position. Change the URL to the page you want to link to, and "link title" to the text you want displayed.

Inserts == Headline text == at cursor position. This separates the section being edited into two sections. Replace "Headline text" with the name of the new section.

• By adding more equal signs (the same number to the beginning and of the heading) you can create lower level headings within the section.

Inserts [[File:Example.jpg]] at cursor position. This allows you to insert a picture at that point.

Inserts [[Media:Example.ogg]] at cursor position. This allows you to upload and link to a file, such as an Adrift TAF or module.

Insertsat cursor position. This allows you to use symbols such as [ { and * that are normally interpreted as special wiki codes.

Inserts --~~~~ at cursor position. This displays your user name and the date and time it was saved. Only use this on a talk page

Inserts ---- at cursor position. This displays a horizontal line:
