First and foremost capitalization matters! Main Page is not the same as main page is not the same as MaIn paGE! That applies to not only page names, but all options, magic words, templates, and functions.

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

ClubWiki:Using GMaps has information on how to add the Google maps to the site (or just copy/paste/modify from other uses)

Typically used syntax for this site[edit]

Categorization[edit]

When creating or modifying trail or park pages, applying wiki categories are not used. The templates will appropriately apply the single category of Trails or Parks. The typical Wikipedia use of categories has been replaced by Semantic Properties which are much easier to define and later search by the site. Please see ClubWIKI:Categorization Plan for the categories in use on this site.
