Ok, you have made it this far either by blindly wandering in or by following one of the links supplied in the forum section. So what do you do now?
The search box in the left hand pane is your new best friend. If the text you enter into it is present on the wiki it will find it. If there is no corresponding entry and you have appropriate permissions, you can even create a new page and enter appropriate information into it.
The sections below will help you get started in the wonderful world of wiki.
The Wiki has been created as a repository for reference information that has previously been stored within threads in the forums. This has had the effect of splitting the site into definitive Reference and Forum sections
All users will have the ability to create and edit (but not delete) pages within the wiki. These creations and amendments will be tracked by members of the Site Content and Development team to ensure conformity with layout as well as preventing undesirable content from remaining on the site.
If you wish to create content, please read the Help Page for Editors first to familiarise yourself. Any content not formatted to the style of the rest of the site will be amended.
If anyone decides that we need a new page, can you let us know please.
There is still an awful lot of work going on behind the scenes and it would be a great shame if your own hard work was duplicated because it was already in hand. (We have already managed to do this ourselves at least twice!!)
As the Recent Changes page can itself change very very quickly we may not always spot your contributions and as all the pages being worked on are not currently linked to the rest of the Wiki you may not realise that a page actually already exists.
