How to Edit The E28 Wiki

Wikis are powerful collaborative tools that enable teams to build and maintain a centralized, ever-evolving knowledge base. Their version control ensures every edit is tracked, preserving a detailed history of changes and making it easy to identify and revert incorrect or unhelpful edits. This transparency encourages active contributions, as members can trust that mistakes are fixable and no information is permanently lost. By participating in wiki editing, everyone helps ensure the content is accurate, comprehensive, and up-to-date, fostering a shared sense of ownership and creating a reliable resource for current and future use.

All members of the E28 community are encouraged to edit this wiki. Editing is easy and collaborative. Follow these steps to contribute:

1. Log In

• Use your MyE28 Forums username and password.
• If you face issues with unsupported characters (e.g., `@:>=`), post a message in the Comments sub-forum.

2. Navigate to the Page

• Find the page you want to edit using the search bar or category links.

3. Edit the Page

• Click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page.
• Use the Visual Editor for easy editing or the Wikitext Editor for advanced control.

4. Formatting Basics

• Headings: Use == Heading == for sections.
• Links: Use Page Name for internal links or Text for external links.
• Lists:

 * Bullet: Use * Item.
 * Numbered: Use # Item.

• Bold: Use bold.
• Italic: Use italic.

The Visual Editor has toolbar items for these and more.

4.5. How Links Work

Links are essential for navigating the wiki. Here's how they work:

• Internal Links: Use Page Name to link to another page in the wiki.

 * Example: E28 Information creates a link to the "E28 Information" page.

• Custom Text for Internal Links: Use Custom Text.

 * Example: Learn more about the E28 displays as "Learn more about the E28".

• External Links: Use Text to link to external websites.

 * Example: MyE28 Forums creates a link to "MyE28 Forums".

• Category Links: To link to a category, prefix it with a colon: Category:E28 Information.

 * Example: E28 Category creates a link to the "E28 Information" category.

Use links to connect related pages, making the wiki easier to navigate!

5. Categories

• Every page should belong to one of the two main categories:

 * E28 Information: For E28-related info, facts, and reference materials.
 * Tech FAQ: For technical FAQs and how-to articles.

• To add a page to a category, include the following at the bottom of the page:

 * [[Category:E28 Information]]
 * [[Category:Tech FAQ]]

The Visual Editor has a hamburger menu in the top-right that provides an easy way to set the Categories.
