Editing a wiki is a simple yet useful skill these days. Here are the basics: To edit a page, simply click the 'edit' tab at the top of the page, or any of the edit links on a section.

To create a page, navigate to the page (either by making a link and following it, or going to: http://ibstudy.editthis.info/ibstudy/NAMEOFPAGE , replacing NAMEOFPAGE with the name of the desired page) and click 'edit'.

Contents 1 Bold & Italic 2 Links 3 Bullet Points 4 Headings 5 primary heading 5.1 secondary heading

Bold & Italic

For boldface type, surround the target text with three apostrophes (')

• '''elephant''' becomes elephant!

For italics, use two.

• ''elephant'' becomes elephant!

Links

To insert a link to another page within the wiki, simply put double brackets ([[like this]]) around the name of the page.

• [[Main Page]] becomes Main Page!
• If you want a link to lead to the Main Page, but say something else, do this: [[Main Page|elephant]]
  • That looks like this: elephant
• If you link to a page that doesn't exist on the wiki, it will show up in red. Following a red link will prompt you to create a page with that name.

To insert a link to another page outside the wiki, simply put single brackets around the name of the page .

• this: [http://google.com] shows up as
  • [1]
• You can also have alternate text for external links.
  • this: [http://google.com Google] shows up as
    • Google

Bullet Points

to make bullet points, put an asterisk (*) at the beginning of the line. For indented bullet points, two asterisks (***), double indented, three asterisks, etc.

• sort of (*sort of)
  • like (**like)
    • this (***this)
    • and this! (***and this!)

Headings

For a primary heading, surround the target text with equals signs =like this=. For a secondary heading, use double equals signs ==like this==. Etc for smaller and smaller headings.

• =primary heading= becomes:

primary heading

• ==secondary heading== becomes:

secondary heading

These headings are automatically included in the table of contents at the top of the page. This only happens if there are three or more headers in the document.
