Revision as of 19:56, 29 April 2020
Form:Wiki Engine — this is the Wiki Engine form, which calls upon our wiki engine infobox template. Use the form below to create a new category or article page for a wiki engine, or view and edit an existing wiki engine article or category page here on WikiIndex.
With this form, enter the full, correct name of the wiki engine in the box below (taking care to ensure accuracy of spelling and grammar), and click on the 'create a new wiki engine article page or category, or edit an existing wiki engine article' button.
Please bear in mind that many wiki engines are listed here on WikiIndex as a 'category', so, if the wiki engine already has (or will have) wiki articles using said wiki engine, you might need to also prefix the engine name with Category: — for example: Category:Wiki Engine name. However, if / when listing either an experimental wiki engine, or an abandoned wiki engine which has never been used to create an actual wiki, the Category: may be omitted.
If a category or article page with that identical wiki engine name already exists here on WikiIndex, you will automatically be directed to a form to edit that existing page. If no wiki engine (of that identical name) is listed, you will then be prompted to a further series of step-by-step edit boxes where you can add full detail of the wiki engine you wish to list here on WikiIndex.
- Please note: – before creating any new wiki engine articles or categories, please ensure you have used the search function to check if the desired engine is already listed here, albeit maybe under a slightly different spelling. Thanks :-)
