Since we are getting more and more enthusiastic youngsters (and no so youngsters too
) on the RC India, I am trying to revive the Wiki effort once more.
There is no other Wiki for RC with an Indian context, and this would really help summarize information in one place. We see time and again newcomers asking the same questions, and we are doing what we can to send them to the right threads, but it would really help to have the information from the various threads summarized in an FAQ manner.
Accessing the Wiki could not have been simpler, as the login is integrated with the forum.
Editing article is similar to editing the world's encyclopedia :
http://www.wikipedia.com . Basic editing involves using the "=" sign and "square brackets". Some samples are below.
== First level sub-heading
===== Second level sub-heading
===[[ Create an internal link
]] (Note that this can be used to create a new page also!)
[ http://www.external.com/link Link to external page
]With the above 4 basic editing structures, you can create elaborate articles. More help with editing is available at :
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formattinghttp://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:LinksI request and urge everyone to spend at least a few minutes every week on this effort. If it has enough information, we can just send users to these links, instead of forcing them to read multiple threads for certain bits of information.
