FAQ

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

• 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 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.
