It’s pretty simple, really.

You, as a registered user (Become a registered user) have the level sixteen magical ability to cast “Modify this page” on any page. If you do this on any page that doesn’t exist yet, then afterwards it does.

The easiest way of doing this is to find somewhere to link to it from (Say, the front page) and edit that to include a link to your as-yet-nonexistant page, like this:


Before:

There is a list of things here, look a the things:

After:

There is a list of things here, look a the things:


(Surrounding any word or phrase with ((double brackets)) makes it an internal wiki link.)

Then when you try to follow the link (ie, Blue Things above) you will be told this page doesn’t exist, and asked if you want to create it.

Formatting

Formatting is reasonably logical and described better at Textile’s Home Page (There’s a certian bootstrapping problem to explaining the formatting here, since everything I write will be formatted according to the rules. This will be solved in a later version of the wiki software, which I (Aquarion) write).

If you want somewhere to muck around and experiment with wikiThings, I’d suggest the Playground, for a better (or even ‘a’) description of what a wiki is, Start here

More formatting:

((item)) link to wiki page ‘item’
((item|name)) link to wiki page ‘item’ with name ‘name’

[[RECENT]] list recent modifications
[[INDEX]] alphabetical index of all pages
[[ALLBY|author]] All revisions by ‘author’
[[SEARCH|term]] All current pages containing fulltext ‘term’

Advanced AqWiki

[[VAR|$foo]] display the contents of $foo (could be a GET or POST variable, or an internal one.

[[SETVAR|var|value]] set internal variable ‘var’ to ‘val’
[[MACRO|name]] include the output of macro ‘name’

[[CAL|yyyy-mm-dd|name]] Add an event on ‘yyyy-mm-dd’ to the page calendar with the id of ‘name’

display page calendar
