Anyone up for a challenge?

OK, the wiki page for the "About the 406" entry is updated. Please fill in the blanks and correct the mistakes (there'll be loads, I'm sure )

Anyone new to wikis - if the text is red, it means there's no article there yet, but if you want to contribute, click on the red link and start creating!

The action you have requested is limited to users in the group emailconfirmed.

Probably for the best, it looks really good and I wouldn't want to break it

Did you register? If not, then you need to

Once you register, you should receive an e-mail with a link in it - clicking the link confirms that you are the owner of your e-mail address, and then you'll be able to post it.

I know a little about Wiki editing, so if you post something that doesn't work the way you want, post back here and we'll see if we can help you out!

I. Know. Nothing.

It's funny, when I was looking at it before I couldn't see anything that said how to join, now I spotted it straight away (top r/h corner to all those blind buggers like me)

You just put it there, go on admit it

You know more than me then
Been lots of guess work and code reading so far, but at least the infobox is now working!

I've never made a brand new Wiki site from scratch before, just edited some pages (my first being Wikipedia's entry for the Dounreay Nuclear Power Station in Caithness, near where I used to live - the article no longer looks anything like it did when I made it though as others have been busily editing it!)

Nutski, you've done some fantastic work on this - don't sell yourself short, this Wiki is a great idea and you're doing a sterling job making it happen!

Clicks "XUD11 BTE" - "To create the page, start typing in the box below" Hmm. Clicks "see the help page for more info" - "To create the page, start typing in the box below" Runs off screaming.

Cheers! I can cut and paste code all day long Gonna take me a while to figure out the finer points of some of it but i'll get there eventually.

I'll see if i can and in the help sections for you, then i'd really better get some work done, its be 90% wiki/website 10% work for about 3 days now!

I've just updated the trim level section, i'm guessing its notgoing to apply correctly as the specs on the trims levels changed through the years, got some ideas but thats for the weekend

[highlander]

Cool - I just added an arbitary (read - empty ) knowledge base to the front page. Just some categories as a starter (though they're not proper Wiki categories (yet), I still need to figure out how to make those!)

Lol

Editing Wikis does require a little bit of special formatting to get links and tables (etc) to appear, but when you see that empty white box, you can type raw text into the box (no formatting tags at all) then click "Preview" and you'll see what you typed. If you like it, click "Save" and it'll stay there.

If you need help with any formatting, just ask!

ianst28 - the Wiki is here: http://www.pug406.com/wiki

http://www.pug406.com/wiki is the direct address
I have set http://www.pug406.com to direct there for now until i do something more interesting

[nutski]

Just for steve (ok, and me) the help page on new pages points to the uk wiki help page.
Now to figure out how to change one on the nav bar

OK, I'm all registered. Will have a look later, got an exam to revise for just now.

Question: can we just lift stuff from Wikipedia and/or other websites? Presumably if so we'd need to credit/cite the source but do we need to obtain written permission too?
