A quick 'n dirty guide to editing/adding articles.

  • First up: the top left links are your friends.
    • The "discussion" link will lead to a page where you can discuss the current content of an article. Use this if you disagree with (parts of) the article's current content, or if you want to add content but are not sure whether it is appropriate. Consider the discussion link a place for "meta-talk".
    • The "edit" link will allow you to edit the article itself - or even create it, in case there was nothing there posted before your addition.
  • Adding/editing articles
    • Rule of thumb: do a search to see if a page already exists. If it does, edit that page instead of creating your own new page - by using the "edit" link, top left.
    • Creating a new page is easy: type in the main url of the wiki (http://wiki.killuglyradio.com/index.php/) and have it followed by the title of your new page like so: http://www.killuglyradio.com/index.php/Dweezil_Zappa Note the use of underscores instead of spaces! Again: before doing this, perform a search to check if the page does not already exist.
  • To keep up with changes made to articles, click the "Recent changes" link in the navigation box. This page will show you who modified what, and for what reason. It's a convenient way to keep up with where any given page is at any given point.
