E30 Technical

Just browse to the page you wish to create and start editing. For example, if I wanted to write a new article on changing wheels I might want the title to be "Changing Wheels". I would navigate to:

http://www.e30zone.net/e30zonewiki/Changing_Wheels

Things to note:

  1. Underscores become spaces
  2. The page names are currently case sensitive so Changing Wheels is different to changing wheels.
  3. Capitalisation. Please use sensible capitalisation, not CHANGING WHEELS, changing wheels or perhaps ChanGinG WHEels - you get the idea.
  4. Pages can only be deleted by an wiki admin - please contact Hoshy or another zone team member for deletion requests.

Uploading images and files

To upload you'll need to sign-up. See the top right corner if you haven't already created an account.

Once logged in you will see the toolbox in the left panel has an Upload file link. You can use this to upload images for you pages.

To use an image in a page just use

[[Image:Filename.jpg]]

Please note filenames are also case sensitive.

Formatting

This page details the guidelines for how to edit pages on the zone wiki.

A great list of simple formatting options is on the Wikipedia site here: Wikipedia Cheatsheet

For pages that are incomplete please add the stub template by placing the following text at the start of your article:

{{stub}}

This will ensure that it's easy for users to find and update articles that need updating.

Tables

Tables can be somewhat tricky. Good information can also be found on the wikipedia site: Tables Help

Tables on this site should be created like the below:

Please note the class="wikitable" attribute.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
|+'''Table Title'''
|-
|'''First Column Header'''
|'''Second Column Header'''
|'''Third Column Header'''
|-
|We
|Love
|E30s
|-
|Old
|Skool
|Cool
|}

This should look like:

Table Title
First Column Header Second Column Header Third Column Header
We Love E30s
Old Skool Cool
