Revision as of 03:04, 20 April 2009

There is little point in writing an extensive help for editing, so we suggest you look at Wikipedia's editing help instead.

Be aware that there are style differences between Wikipedia and Stars!wiki. Read Stars!wiki:Policies if you haven't already. Below are some things that particularly apply to Stars!wiki.

Parser Functions

Parser functions are predefined templates or magic words that can be used to make pages dynamically change, or simply to reduce the numbers of edits needed to keep multiple parts of the wiki up-to-date. The following extensions that provide parser functions are installed: Parser Functions, Simple Forms, Parser Functions Helper, User Functions, Cite & IM Status.


Useful Templates

Remember you can use any article as a template by prefixing the title with : eg {{:Main page}}
