Wiki

Adding a how-to To add a how-to to this page add a heading under the correct category OR create a category if one doesn't exist. There are currently no formatting or style rules. The suggestion is to be clean and well laid out. Look over the current how-to's to get a feel on how your tutorial should be laid out. Thank you for the contribution.

Step 2 A new page appears saying that the page could not be found. Click on create this page. Step 3 Enter anything into the text box and press save.       B) Step 1 On some page choose the edit option. Step 2 Create a link to the page you want to created. Ex. [[test_page | test]] Step 3 Click on the Show Preview button. The link now appears in red. This indicates that the page the link is pointing to does not exist. Step 4 Click on the red link. A page appears with 'You've followed a link to a page that doesn't exist yet'. Step 5 Enter anything into the text box and press save.   A new page has been created.
