Wipipedia.org:Getting Started

Using the Wipipedia

Using the Wipipedia is simplicity itself. From the main page you can follow any of the links in the introductory article to a wealth of information. At the top of the page is a list of categories which will show you all articles held on the system related to that category. An article, say bondage, can be linked to more than one article.

Registering as a User

Anyone can browse the Wipipedia without registring as a user. However if you want to add or edit articles then you must register first. To login or register click on Create account / log in this will take you to the login screen. To register all we need is your username and a passowrd, unfortunately your LFS account will not work with this system but we do suggest that you use the same Username where possible to avoid confusing people.

Editing Existing articles

At the top of every page are a series of tabs, if you click on the edit this page tab you will be presented with a screen that you can type into. At the bottom of screen are buttons to preview and save the modified article. Before saving please preview the article and correct any minor mistakes before saving.
