Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jürgen Hubert" data-source="post: 5136881" data-attributes="member: 7177">Well, here are the very first steps to creating a Wikidot.com wiki, if anyone is interested.First register at <a href="http://www.wikidot.com/" target="_blank">Wikidot.com</a> itself - there is a "register" button at the upper right corner. Then return to the same page and enter the subdomain name of your wiki into the field. After clicking through another form where you can enter a few details, such as the actual name of the wiki, and whether you want it to public (anyone can view it) or private (only people who are members of the wiki can see it), you will be redirected to the start page of your new wiki.At the bottom of the page is an "edit" button. Click on it, and you will be able to edit the wiki code of the page. A comprehensive list of wiki code examples can be found <a href="http://www.wikidot.com/doc:quick-reference" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://snippets.wikidot.com/" target="_blank">here</a>, but the only thing you really need to know to get started is how to create internal links. To create such a link, you need to put the name of the target page into triple square brackets. For example, if you want to link to a city called "<a href="http://urbis.wikidot.com/dartmouth" target="_blank">Dartmouth</a>", you should write it like this:[code][[Dartmouth]]][/code]Since you are just starting out, this page won't exist yet - the link will appear in red. But that's not a problem - just click on it, and then you will be redirected to a new page where you can click on a "create page" link to create it. Edit the code, save it, and the page will exist and the link will now appear in a darker color.You can also chose a different text to appear as the link text. For example, if you want to write a sentence like:"Mysterious phenomena have occurred in <a href="http://urbis.wikidot.com/dartmouth" target="_blank">that city</a>..."then the code would be:[code]Mysterious phenomena have occurred in [[[Dartmouth | that city]]]...[/code]That is to say, the name of the linked text and the text that will actually appear should be separated by a "|" symbol.I hope that helps for starters. If you have any further questions about Wikidot.com, don't hesitate to ask!</blockquote>
