This web site is a wiki, which means you can edit it to add or update information.

To enable editing, you first need to create an account and log in, the controls for this are in the upper-right corner of the page.

After you have logged in, an "edit" tab will show up on pages, allowing you to add or change content.

Text editing codes and controlling links

When editing page, you can enter special character codes to control different things. A couple of the basics are:

External links (to web pages outside of this wiki) can be controlled using single surrounding [ ] brackets. You can also just enter the address of the link without any brackets. Examples:

 Entering this:                          Will produce this:
 [http://www.example.org]                [1]
 [http://www.example.org display text]   display text
 http://www.example.org                  http://www.example.org


Internal links to other pages on this same wiki are controlled by using double surrounding [[ ]] brackets. Use a | character to control the text that will be displayed for the link. Examples:

 Entering this:                Will produce this:
 [[Main Page]]                 Main Page
 [[Main Page|display text]]    display text

Creating a new page

To create a brand new page, you can either enter the name of the page in the search box on the left-side bar and push "Go", or edit an existing page and create a [[link]] to the page you want and then follow the link to create the page.
