**OARC Wiki HOWTO RECIPE***

0. Request a Wiki user ID by joining the Online Amateur Radio Community Discord Server at www.oarc.uk/join

1. Navigate to the OARC Wiki - https://wiki.oarc.uk/start

2. Login:

  * {{:wiki:01_login.png?276x91|}}

3. Navigate to the page under which you want to create your new page and click the pencil icon:

  * {{:wiki:02_editpencil.png?181x105|}}		

4. You’ll see an Editing window similar to this:

  * {{:wiki:03_exampleeditwindow.png?899x176|}}

5. Insert a line of this form:

  * {{:wiki:4_examplepagewikilink.png?876x33|}}

Here, ‘wiki’ is the //namespace//; ‘Really_Simple_Wiki_HOWTO’ is the //page’s name//; ‘Wiki - Really simple, Get Started HOWTO’ is the //text// which will appear on the link to the page.

6. Optionally, add an edit comment (other people editing the Wiki might find this helpful); and if you like, ‘Preview’ the page; then if everything’s OK, hit ‘Save’

  * {{:wiki:05_editpreviewstage.png?902x49|}}

7. On the saved page, you’ll see the link in Red

  * {{:wiki:06_redfilenamelink.png?500x148|}}
		
8. Click on the link and you will see this:

  * {{:wiki:07_notexist.png?898x94|}}

9. Click on the pencil with the + sign.


10. The created page is then presented as an edit window for you to work on:

  * {{:wiki:08_editthecreatedpage.png?860x253|}}
		

Work on the content of your page, save it, and it will appear as a green link:

  * {{:wiki:09_greenfilenamelink.png?498x124|}}		

In this example, because the page was created under the namespace ‘wiki’, it also appears on the Sitemap in the ‘wiki’ section:

  * {{:wiki:10_sitemap_wikinamespace.png?306x169|}}

A couple of very useful //aide memoires// for formatting & syntax in the Wiki environment are:

  * https://www.dokuwiki.org/cheatsheet &
  * https://www.dokuwiki.org/wiki:syntax
		

 You might then wish to publicise the fact that you’ve shared some new material - a post on the OARC Discord server (perhaps under ‘wiki-discussion’ channel is a good place to start).
