Editing this wiki
To edit pages in this wiki you must create an user account and log in.
Once you are logged in with your username you can edit any page of this wiki. To edit a whole page you click on “edit” on the top of the page or on the small pen icons if you want to edit sections of the page.
This page explains the syntax you may use to format your edits.
This wiki runs on MediaWiki, the same software Wikipedia is using. This is why the syntax may be familiar to you if you have edited Wikipedia before.
Getting started
Editing & MediaWiki syntax
Please see further down on this page and also refer to:
- Editing Wiki Pages (Overview)
- Editing Wiki Pages (Quick Intro)
- Wikipedia Cheatsheet
WYSIWYG
Alternatively you may use OpenOffice/LibreOffice to create the structure of your page and export it as MediaWiki text. Then simply copy the content of that textfile into a Wiki page.
For administrators of this wiki
Quick Help
Text formatting markup
This is just a short help reference. Find the full version here.
You can format your text using wiki markup. This consists of normal characters like asterisks, single quotes or equation marks which have a special function in the wiki, sometimes depending on their position. For example, to format a word in italic, you include it in two single quotes like
''this''

Comment |
<!--This is a comment--> |
- ↑ An article with four or more headings will automatically create a table of contents.
- ↑ Use of a level 1 heading is highly discouraged as it appears with the same formatting and size as the page title, which can be confusing.

Paragraphs
MediaWiki ignores normal line breaks. To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can also start a new line with the XHTML tag <br /> .
HTML & Sourcecode
Some HTML tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <div>, <span> and <font> .
<source> supports Syntax Coloring. You can also specify a language, eg. <source lang="c" line start="55" highlight="4"> :
// Global variable
int x = 7;
int myFunction(int a) {
// Local variable
int b = 8;
return (a + b);
}
Please see the MediaWiki GeSHi Page for detailed information to use some of the parameters:
- lang="xyz": defines the language, eg. "c", "php", ...
- line: show line numbering
- line start="55": first line is labeled #55
- hilight="4: hilights line #4
Tables
{| | table start |
