How to Edit Halachipedia: Difference between revisions

# Unlike most websites whereby you create a new page and subsequently connect the new page to the main site via a link, in a wiki you first have to create the link and then the page. When you create the link, it will be to a blank page. Then when you click on this blank page, it will give you the option of adding content, so that it’s no longer blank.#Therefore, the first thing to do is decide where your halachik article would belong within our topical categories as displayed on the left sidebar.

## For instance, “The [[Laws of Shema]]” would fall within the “[[Prayer]]” category.

#Next, you need to create the link. To do this, click the edit tab towards the top of the page. From here you’ll see a large editable text box with all sorts of strange looking coding symbols. Find where you should add your link and surround the title with double brackets

## For instance <nowiki>[[Laws of Shema]]</nowiki> = [[Laws of Shema]]

# A red link means that it's an empty page, which you can then click on and add content
