Getting started

Logging In

  • In order to edit/contribute, users must log in using their forum username/password.
  • Users must have 10 posts and 3 hours online in order to contribute to the wiki. If you do not meet these criteria, you will get an "invalid password" message. These requirements are subject to change, based on how well or poorly the trial works out. Anyone who pads their post count to gain access will have their posts deleted and may be banned, as with the chat room.
  • The Army.ca Conduct Guidelines apply in full effect to the wiki. All edits are logged, along with your username.

Tips

To see different ways of using Wiki code, check out some pages at http://www.wikipedia.org or on this wiki - you don't need to make any changes, just open up any page with the Edit tab at the top of the screen and you can examine the code. They also have a "Sandbox" at wikipedia where you can try out code just to see how stuff works.

Bear in mind that other wiki sites may use "scripts" - generally identified by the {{}} brackets - that may or may not work on the army.ca wiki.

Simple questions on wiki formatting may be directed to User talk:Michael Dorosh and other volunteers as they become available.
