Frequently Asked Questions
Registering
- How do I register/login?
- In the upper-right hand corner of the screen, select Create a user or login.
- Do I need to provide my real name?
- No, it is a matter of personal preference/privacy to provide your real name.
- Can I change it later?
- Yes, once you login, you can change your password, real name, and e-mail address.
Getting Started
- Ok, I've logged in: how do I make a new page?
- Type the name in the Goto box on the left-hand side of the screen; see Contributing Guidelines for the syntax. As an example, if you want to add documentation for RAM address FFFF on the 83+, type the following in the Goto box:
83Plus:RAM:FFFF
- Make sure you read the Contributing Guidelines!!!
- Do I need to denote hexadecimal with a $ or h, like in Z80 assembly?
- No, it is assumed in WikiTI that all numbers/addresses are hexidecimal by default.
- What are templates?
- Templates, are, as the name says, templates. :-) They provide a default structure for the various pages. If all the WikiTI users follow these templates, it'll make all B_CALL pages look consistent, all ports the same format, etc. Thus, it is encouraged to use these (see Templates for a list of templates).
- How do I use a template?
- Select a template
- View the source and copy it (the edit tab is near the top of the screen)
- Paste the source into your new page (that you just Goto'ed)
- Edit the text to fit your type of documentation
- What's the category text at the top of the templates for?
- That is how WikiTI categorizes the various pages. Following the previous example, you should have these lines at the top of your new page:
[Category:83Plus:RAM:By Address:FFFF - TheName] [Category:83Plus:RAM:By Name|TheName]
- If you are curious as to how a page works, don't forget to view the source of it :-)
Editing
- How do I make bold/italicized text?
- See Character Formatting
- How do I make lists?
- See Lists and Lines
- Argh! The tab doesn't work!
- In Wikipedia, you use a colon : to indent a paragraph.
- How do I put text in that blue border?
- Use <nowiki> preceded with a space. The leading space tells the Wiki parser to display the text as a preformatted, fixed-width font, which is analogous to <pre> in HTML. So " <nowiki>Your text here</nowiki>" will show:
Your text here
- How do I make links?
- That depends on the kind of link you want to make. See Links and URLs for a more in-depth discussion.
Browsing
- Why does my contribution not show up in the list?
- Most likely, you are viewing a cached version of WikiTI. Try clearing out your cache (browser-specific). Alternatively, you may wish to disable caching in your preferences. If you do have any issues that appear to be cache-related, please contact JasonM.
