Help:Contents

There are many ways to add data to a wiki, below are some hints on different wiki syntax. the process below however seems to be the quickest for us.

1 Search the wiki for your topic, be sure to search for variations. For example, searching for prc-68 might appear. AN/PRC-68. Wiki page titles are case sensitive. If the page exists feel free to edit it to correct or add data.

2 if it exists simply click "edit" (if your logged in) and edit at will. If its not there, click the red text on the search turn and one will be created, opened to the edit page. Edit away.

adding manuals

To add a manual I use the following template:

M== Text formatting markup ==

Description	You type	You get
Character (inline) formatting – applies anywhere
Italic text	''italic''	italic
Bold text	'''bold'''	bold
Bold and italic	'''''bold & italic'''''	bold & italic
Strike text	<strike> strike text </strike>	strike text
Escape wiki markup	<nowiki>no ''markup''</nowiki>	no ''markup''
Escape wiki markup once	[[API]]<nowiki/>extension	APIextension
Section formatting – only at the beginning of the line
Headings of different levels	== Level 2 == === Level 3 === ==== Level 4 ==== ===== Level 5 ===== ====== Level 6 ======	Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5 Level 6
Horizontal rule	Text before ---- Text after	Text before Text after
Bullet list	* Start each line * with an [[Wikipedia:asterisk|asterisk]] (*). ** More asterisks give deeper *** and deeper levels. * Line breaks <br />don't break levels. *** But jumping levels creates empty space. Any other start ends the list.	Start each line with an asterisk (*). More asterisks give deeper and deeper levels. Line breaks don't break levels. But jumping levels creates empty space. Any other start ends the list.
Numbered list	# Start each line # with a [[Wikipedia:Number_sign|number sign]] (#). ## More number signs give deeper ### and deeper ### levels. # Line breaks <br />don't break levels. ### But jumping levels creates empty space. # Blank lines # end the list and start another. Any other start also ends the list.	Start each line with a number sign (#). More number signs give deeper and deeper levels. Line breaks don't break levels. But jumping levels creates empty space. Blank lines end the list and start another. Any other start also ends the list.

Preformatted text	Start each line with a space. Text is '''preformatted''' and ''markups'' '''''can''''' be done.	Start each line with a space. Text is preformatted and markups can be done.
Preformatted text blocks	<nowiki>Start with a space in the first column, (before the <nowiki>). Then your block format will be maintained. This is good for copying in code blocks: def function(): """documentation string""" if True: print True else: print False</nowiki>	Start with a space in the first column, (before the <nowiki>).
