Form:Wiki: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 19:56, 29 April 2020

Please note: – before creating any new wiki article pages, please ensure you have used the search function to check if the desired wiki article 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 here on WikiIndex. Thanks :)

Form:Wiki — this is the Wiki form, which calls upon our default wiki article infobox template. Use the form below to create a new article page for a wiki site with a rendered infobox; or view and edit an existing wiki article page here on WikiIndex.

With this form, enter the full, correct name of the wiki in the box below, and click on the grey 'create a new wiki article page, or edit an existing wiki article' button. If a page with that identical wiki name already exists here on WikiIndex, you will automatically be directed to a form to edit that existing page. If no wiki (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 you wish to list here on WikiIndex.
