Using The Wiki

You can click around the site or search to find pages. If you search for a page and it does not exist, you can click the create this page link to create it. You can also click the edit tab at the top of a page to edit it.

Once you are on the edit page you can use the toolbar above the text box to add some formatting. It may also be helpful to consult these links.

Creating A Task

To create a task you simply must use some special syntax when editing a page. The general format is as follows: 

{{todo|What to do|who1, who2, etc}}

So if you wanted to assign the username 'James Van Boxtel' the task 'Make a logo for the wiki' you would add the following code to a page. 

{{todo|Make a logo for the wiki|James Van Boxtel}}

To view all the tasks currently assigned to you, click the 'My Tasks' link at the top right corner of the page.

After you have completed a task, simply delete the task line or replace it with a text equivalent saying it is done.
