    1. Default Pages Included With Your Wiki

This is a list of of all pages delivered with your wiki. There are currently pages in the wiki.

  • All Pages is an automatically generated list of all the pages in your wiki.
  • Bookmarks is for your bookmarks on this wiki. To bookmark a page, click "Bookmark" at the bottom of the page! ([Bookmarks] on wikispot shows you all of your bookmarks on all wikis.)
  • Front Page is the page you're currently viewing.
  • Events Board is a page where anyone can post events in the community.
  • Help links to the main help pages on wikispot — useful for reference.
  • Interwiki Map — link to non-Wiki Spot wikis using [links] by adding names and URLs of wikis to this page.
  • Orphaned Pages contains an automatically generated list of pages with no links to them. Ideally, this page should be empty — keep your wiki well-linked!
  • Outgoing Links lists all pages sorted by the number outgoing links on each page.
  • Quick Wiki Tips — At the top of Recent Changes shows randomly selected tips from this page.
  • Recent Changes shows all the recent activity on the wiki in a given time period. ([Recent Changes] on wikispot shows you the recent changes on all the wikis you're watching.)
  • Random Pages is a randomly generated list of twenty-five pages. Good for finding pages to edit once your wiki grows larger.
  • Site Organization has links to pages that help you keep your wiki well organized.
  • Templates is a user created list of template pages — pages that you can use as starting blocks for making new pages.
  • User Statistics is a page that displays statistics, such as the number of edits, for each person who has edited your wiki.
  • Wanted Pages contains all the pages that are linked to, but do not yet exist. This is a good place to start [[1]].
  • Wiki Sandbox is a place for users to play around with the wiki without disturbing your content.
  • Wiki Settings contains the administrative settings for your wiki.
  • Wiki Settings/CSS is the page where you can upload different style sheets that change your wiki's appearance.
  • Wiki Settings/General contains general settings for your wiki.
  • Wiki Settings/Images allows you to customize images on your wiki, such as your logos.
  • Wiki Settings/Security lets you change the default security settings of your wiki and create user groups to control access.
    1. Making new pages

To create a new page, search for the name of the page you wish to create and then click the "Create a new page with this title" link. Another way to create a new page is by making a link to the page you wish to create from a page that already exists, following the link, and clicking "Create this page."
