Hi
 +
Complaining about Google
 +
When creating a new page Google automatically hijacks my search instead of letting the Zappa Wiki create a new page!
 +
Workaround?
 +
Greetings!
  
Creating a new page: type the name of your page inbetween two square brackets [[Your Page Title Here]] and it will automagically create a link.
 
  
Where?  Where do you type the name of a page to create a new page?

Hi Propellerkuh,
  
NB Replies of "Between two square brackets" will not be accepted :-)

It is not clear what you are doing.

Try making a new page within double square brackets  <nowiki>[[Some New Page]]</nowiki>from an existing page.  Hit the Show Preview button and click the red Some New Page (or whatever you called your page) link which should take you to the edit box for the new page.

Could be from any other page... if the link on that other page is relevant to that page, leave it there, otherwise: edit the page by adding your link, save, go to the new page by clicking and afterwards you can always go back and delete the original link. Or, you could use your User page as a starting point. Or, you could create pages by typing them in the url bar - in which case you have to replace spaces with _ (underscores) and watch out for special chars... -- [[User:KillUglyRadio|KillUglyRadio]] 06:14, 10 Apr 2005 (PDT)

Hi Complaining about Google When creating a new page Google automatically hijacks my search instead of letting the Zappa Wiki create a new page! Workaround? Greetings!


Hi Propellerkuh,

It is not clear what you are doing.

Try making a new page within double square brackets [[Some New Page]]from an existing page. Hit the Show Preview button and click the red Some New Page (or whatever you called your page) link which should take you to the edit box for the new page.

upload PDF?

Could we, at least temporarily, add PDF to the file types we may upload? I describe a file at Talk:Pop Chronicles interview that we should have here. PopFanDoug (talk) 12:52, 20 June 2019 (PDT)


I think you will need Barry to set that up for you. If he does not respond here try...

I can host them temporarily and you can link to them from here if that helps.
