Some wiki editing questions.

Post by onekk »

Hello I'm trying to create a new "Part Design Basic Tutorial", but I have some problem with the Wiki:
  • I think I have editing permissions, but there are different levels of editing permissions?
  • How to create a Sandbox page?
  • How to create a Wiki page in general? I have copied the source code of the original page, As I think is more easy to start with an existing page and modifying to my needs, incorporating changes
  • As from other discussion threads I'm guessing that the actual wiki is a "translation" from a github repo it is yet a correct way (or a correct way yet? or something else?) to edit the wiki pages.
TIA and Regards

There is only one 'Editor' level. But the Wiki has many other (permission) levels.

Steps to create a sandbox page:
  1. Login to the Wiki.
  2. Enter the desired URL in your browser: https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Sandbox:Abc_Def.
  3. Click on "create this page".
  4. Add [[Category:Sandbox]] at the bottom of the page.
This, and more, information can also be found on the WikiPages page.

The GitHub repo is created from the Wiki. So all editing has to be done in the Wiki.

Thanks, it has passed some time from last time I've created a wiki page.

Like every noob I was searching for a "button" or some "menu item" with "Create a new Page".

Thanks again and Best Regards.
