You can edit any page by pressing the link at the bottom of the page. Capitalized words joined together form a WikiName, which hyperlinks to another page. The highlighted title searches for all pages that link to the current page. Pages which do not yet exist are linked with a question mark (or a different rendering in bold red): just follow the link and you can add a definition.
You are encouraged to edit the WikiSandBox whichever way you like. Please restrain yourself from editing other pages until you feel at home with the ways a wiki works.
To learn more about what a
WikiWikiWeb is, read about
WhyWikiWorks and the
WikiNature. Also, consult the
WikiWikiWebFaq.
Good starting points to explore a wiki are:
A WikiName is a word that uses capitalized words. WikiNames automagically become hyperlinks to the WikiName's page. What exactly is an uppercase or lowercase letter is determined by the configuration, the default configuration works for Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) characters. See below for how to handle Asian, Hebrew and other non-western character encodings.
The highlighted page title (i.e. HelpForBeginners on this page) shows a list of all pages that link to the current page. It even works on pages that are not defined yet.
A question mark after a link, or a different rendering in bold red, means that the page is not defined: you can click the question mark to offer a definition (e.g. NoSuchPageForReal). If you click on such a link, you'll see a default page content that you can edit; only after you save the page it will be created for real.
To escape a WikiName, i.e. if you want to write the word WikiName without linking it, use an "empty" bold sequence (a sequence of six single quotes) like this: Wiki''''''Name.
To learn more about wiki markup, see HelpOnEditing.
Wiki Names
Arbitrary Page Names
If you enclose a sequence of characters in square brackets and double quotes ["like this"], that makes it a page name. That can be used for specific uses of MoinMoin (like organizing a list of items, e.g. your CD collection, by their "natural" name), or if you want to create a wiki with a non-western character encoding.
This is a configurable feature, so it might not work!
