Please see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Editing for detailed generic wiki editing/syntax/formatting information

ClubWiki:Creating_a_Trail has information on how to add (or modify) a trail specific to this site

Current issues with the site

  • Only images can be uploaded - working on addressing this
  • Uploaded images don't work - something goofy with our web host, I need to change the permissions on images and any auto-created resizes

Typically used syntax for this site

Categorization

Please add the appropriate categories to pages. This allows people to find trails/pages that are assigned to a particular category. This needs to be done in addition to any "Trail Use/Feature" icons added to the Info Box. Please see ClubWIKI:Categorization Plan for the categories in use on this site
