How to Edit

With the exception of a few protected pages, every page has an 'edit' button which allows you to edit the page you're looking at. If you add information be as clear and accurate as possible. At the bottom of the editing page there is an 'Editing help', please refer to it for further information!

Show preview

Use the 'preview' button after you've entered a change into the page, instead of 'save'. This lets you see what the page will look like after your edit before you actually save. Using 'preview' before saving will help with catching formatting errors, or typos, and it prevents small edits from cluttering up the page history. Don't forget to save at the end, though!

Creating a page

If a new page needs to be added to the wiki then tag it according to the role responsible. For example: pages that the Finance Coordinator is responsible for keeping up to date should all be tagged 'finance' and so on. If you're not sure how to tag a page then please ask.

How to use past revisions

A 'page history' shows the order in which changes were made to a page. Every page has an associated page history. To use a page history select a specific version and compare it with the current version. To revert to a previous version click 'restore'.
