Welcome, new editor of the DE4A documentation wiki!
Before you beging adding content, you can familiarise yourself in on this page with some basic wiki rules and functionalities. Additional help is available in the Wiki cheat sheet, the User's Guide, and the MediaWiki FAQ.
Ground rules
#1 Create from search. When you want to create a new page, start by searching the wiki for existing content. If the search yields no results, you will be offered the option to create a new page. If you do, make sure your search was capitalised in Title Case.
#2 Page names in Title Case. Page names are capitalised using Wikipedia rules. When in doubt, use this Case Converter tool to find the correct capitalisation.
#3 Ask for help. Don't hesitate to contact the WP2 Team for advice and support when or before adding your content to the wiki. We're here to think along and help.
Creating and editing pages
Create a new page
You can create a new page from a search or from a red link. In both cases, please observe the Title Case capitalisation rule, as different letter cases produce different wiki pages. For example, "Interaction Patterns" and "Interaction patterns" will lead to two different pages (the former exists on the DE4A wiki, the latter does not and should not, as it does not follow the Title Case capitalisation rule).
Edit
You can edit a page with the Visual Editor or the Source Editor. The Visual Editor provides a direct visual way to edit pages based on the "what you see is what you get" principle. It contains a handy page searching function when inserting links. Visual editing is chosen by clicking the Edit tab at the top of a page (or on a section-edit link). The Source Editor can be used for additional functionality with such things as categories, hyperlinks, tables and columns, footnotes, inline citation, special characters and so on. You can access the Source Editor by clicking the Edit source tab at the top of a page (or on a section-edit link).
