Talk about how to edit a page here!


This is the /Talk page for the how does one edit a page page. Don't know what a "talk page" is? See Talk Page.


The /Quick reference page is concise and helpful, especially with the code producing the results to the left showing already. I like it. --KQ


Best solution yet! --StefanRybo


Yes, I like it a lot. If somebody would just complete the feature list (headers, for example, are missing), I think we should replace the relevant part of how does one edit a page with this. --LMS


Please everyone add missing features here:

  • headers
  • ascii art integrals
  • ...




Where is the discussion of how to create sub-pages, and how to refer to sub pages in links?

Also, what are appropriate Sub-pages?




How do I redirect a link to another page - for instance, how to I get all links to CIA to point to Central Intelligence Agency? -- Robert Merkel


To redirect an article, make the entry #REDIRECT ] --KQ


Why doesn't someone revamp the how does one edit a page page with the "quick reference"? The latter is clearly better than the old page. Don't be shy, just do it. --LMS



I just removed the following example from the definition list section:

Fruit
pear
apple

The reason is that neither pear nor apple can serve as the definition of "fruit". The article already contains an example which makes the usage of definition lists clear. The additional indented "apple" has nothing to do with definition lists. --AxelBoldt



What is the escape code for a forward slash? (i.e. '/ ')--branko


Forward slashes aren't special, you can just type them in without escaping. Backslashes aren't special either, except at the end of a line, where the easiest way to escape them is by following them with a  .


Forward slashes are not special And/Or dangerous -- hey, I just created a sub page. The use of the slash like that in Dutch (and hence in the Dutch Misplaced Pages) is quite common.


Sorry, I should have mentioned that.--branko
