UpdateTheWiki

Updating the wiki is very easy.

Request an Account

There is a link in the upper righthand corner to Special:RequestAccount which allows you to request an account. Once approved, you can then log in and make updates. (We used to allow self-signup, but the wiki spam was a huge problem so now we approve accounts first.)

Edit existing pages

• Click the Edit link at the top of the page or on any section.
• Edit the page contents and click save.
• If presented with a simple question about RT, answer it. This helps us keep the wiki spam to a minimum.

Add new pages

• Click the edit link on the page where you want to add the first link to the new page.
• Add CamelCaseNameOfNewPage to the text of the page and click save. (What's CamelCase?).
• You should see CamelCaseNameOfNewPage as a red link.
• Click this link and you will see a create box for the new page.

If name of the new page doesn't match CamelCase notation, like REST or Ticket use REST or Ticket.

You can use the following trick as well:

• In the URL string of your browser write https://rt-wiki.bestpractical.com/wiki/NameOfNewPage
• Hit enter and you'll seeing a page that already exists or a page that gives you the option to create a new page. Click the links to do that.
• This trick has a trade-off, as a new page is not linked to from any other page. People can only find it with the search box, so you have to add links later.
