If you have experienced contributing to Wikipedia, then this site is no different.
Remember to add a Category to the page before saving.
Creating or Editing a MediaWiki Page with VisualEditor
Step 1: Access the VisualEditor
- Navigate to the page you want to create or edit.
- If the page does not exist, you will see a link to create it. Click on the "Create" link.
- If the page exists, click on the "Edit" button at the top of the page.
- You will automatically enter the VisualEditor interface.
Step 2: Editing Your Page
- Once in the VisualEditor, you can start typing or paste your content directly into the text area.
- Use the formatting toolbar at the top to format text, add links, and insert images.
Step 3: Adding a Category
- Click on the three lines menu (also known as the "More" menu) in the top right corner of the VisualEditor.
- Select "Categories" from the dropdown menu.
- In the category input box, you can type an existing category name to choose it or create a new one by entering the desired name.
- Click "Apply changes" to insert the category into your page.
Step 4: Saving Your Changes
- Once you've finished editing the content and adding the category, click on the "Save changes" button at the top right.
- In the summary box, briefly describe your changes.
- Click "Publish changes" again to save your work.
Important Notes
- Categories are case sensitive-- the first letter is always capitalized. DBWiki is different from DbWiki and Dbwiki.
- Categories help organize pages within DBWiki, making it easier for users to find related content.
