Creating a New Wiki Page

From PikaDocs

Table of contents


There are two basic ways to create new wiki pages:

Create a new page by using the URL address box

  • Come up with a concise, descriptive title for your new page, let's say, "Wonderful Pika Widgets."
  • Add the name of your new page to the PikaDocs web address in the URL box, right after /index.php/ so it reads like this:

http://pikasoftware.net/docs/index.php/Wonderful Pika Widgets

  • Press the web browser Go button and PikaDocs will create a new empty page with your title:

Select the edit tab and you're ready to wiki away to your heart's delight. (Be sure to save the new page or it will disappear.)

Create a new page by creating an internal wiki link

Another handy way to create a new wiki page is to create an internal wiki link in an existing page. Try this out at the Sand Box page:

  • Select the edit tab on the page where you are going to create the link to the new page.
  • Type the name you want to give your new page. Let's say you call it "Pika Power Tips" ...

  • Enclose the new page name in double brackets:
I want to create a new wiki page called [[Pika Power Tips]]!
  • Save the page. You should now see a red link to your new page:

  • Click on the red link and bada bing!, there's the editing page for your new page:

Be sure to save the new page or it will disappear.
