Form:Wiki: Difference between revisions

<noinclude>[[Category:All|  ]]:'''''Please note:''''' – before creating any <u>new</u> [[wiki]] article pages, please ensure you have used the '''[[Special:Search|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 '''{{SITENAME}}'''. Thanks :)

This is the '''Wiki form'''.  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 [[Special:Forms|form]], enter the full, correct name of the [[WhatIsWiki|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 <u>identical</u> wiki name [[Special:AllPages|already exists]] here on WikiIndex, you will automatically be directed to a form to edit that <u>existing</u> 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.

</noinclude><includeonly><div id="wikiPreview" style="display:none; padding-bottom:25px; margin-bottom:25px; border-bottom:1px solid #AAAAAA"></div>To correctly enter data in the boxes below, please click on the question mark (?) blue circle icon to the right of each box for guidance information.  Where examples or instructions are given, please enter advised text in the relevant box without using any of the 'quotation marks' shown.  It is important to try following the correct format, as this wiki uses [[WikiIndex:StructuredData|structured data]], which is useful for generating reports on specific attributes.
