Help:Basic Edition

• You can edit the content using the wiki syntax. Normal caracters like * ' " =, that have special functions depending sometimes on their position. For example the syntax ''italic'' will return italic.
• Mediawiki skips the new blank lines. If you want to start a new paragraph, you only have to drop a new blank line between the two sections of your text. You are also free to use HTML tags like <br>.
• Some compatible HTML tags with MediaWiki: <code>, <div>, <span> and <font>.

New pages, internal and external links
links to another wiki page Creating a new page	I've created the [[social computing]] page It's a link that points to another wiki page If the link is displayed in red, the page doesn't exist yet. If you click on the link, you can start inserting the content, save it, and then the page will be created. To create a new page simply create a new link, e.g. from your home page. Alternatively search for a page using the menu on top right. If the page doesn't exist, you can create it by clicking on the red link.	I've created the social computing page
changing the title of the link	I've created the <nowiki>[[Help:Contents|daily page]] tomorrow </nowiki> The wiki will display the title of the link, in other words all that is placed after a pipe (|)	I've created the daily page tomorrow
