Please help us convert pages from the old wiki.
Here are the steps to follow:
- Create a link to the new page on this wiki by editing a portal page, or the page that you want to be the parent of the new page. You create a link this way: Page Description Page names may not have spaces in them. They can have _ or - or be in CamelCase.
- Click on that link to bring up the edit page. Type a title and save it.
- Note the url of this new page.
- In another window, go to the old page.
- Choose edit.
- Copy all the source off the old page, and paste it into your favorite editor.
- at the top of the old page, type the following line:
[[module Redirect destination="http://www.example.com/base/"]]
- replacing the url with the url of your new page you noted in step 3.
- Go back to your editor.
- Replace all [[[ with [[
- Replace all ]]] with ]]
- Replace all ** with '''
- Find all lines that start with + or ++ or +++ or ++++
- Edit them so that the line is enclosed in the same number of = signs == This is header 2 == (note that spaces are required.)
- Paste the result into the new-page window in the new wiki
- Save.
- Perform any clean-up editing required. In particular you may need to edit links to other pages.
