Hi folks

Arjan’s just about got the wiki ready to go, so I’ve put together a basic guide on how to prepare a word document to post onto the wiki.

Any comments let me know.

If you want to send me an attachment my email is abotall@yahoo.co.uk

TIPs: if you want to contribute and dont know where to start? try the Wanted Pages

i see people are still using the “old” domain table structure.

i have updated the boilerplate with the new one. you can also take a look at Tuarhievel for a working example.

or take a look at the table right away http://www.birthright.net/brwiki/index.php/Template:Domaintable_Tuarhievel

I know where I wanted to start - but it seems I don’t have editing rights to any pages.

Was going to start with a simple redirect - Saramie -> Sera - but while it seems I can create the page, I can’t open it to edit it, due to being only in “Users” group. What do I need to do to edit this wiki?

thx.

well i see nothing wrong, i created the redirect under your name with no problem:

Clearly, I need to listen to myself more often!

Hrmmm - very odd. Now when I create a new page, it’s all there as I expected it - before, it had absolutely no links to Edit or anything, no window for the new text, nuthin’. Maybe a hiccup from when I logged in the first time?

thanks!
