Form:Wiki engine: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 00:11, 5 July 2024

Please note: – before creating a new article or category page for a wiki engine here on this WikiIndex wiki site, kindly ensure you have used the search function to check if the desired wiki engine article or category is already listed here, albeit maybe under a slightly different spelling. Furthermore, please ensure you have read WikiIndex:Naming conventions, as this describes how we name articles and categories here on WikiIndex. Thanks :-)

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, grammar, and punctuation), 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 site articles using said wiki engine, you will 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, or an engine which only powers private wiki sites, 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 :-)

Articles or categories created using this form will automatically added to category: Wiki engine.
