How this Site is Structured - READ THIS BEFORE EDITING

Read this before adding any pages or categories

Things to keep in mind:

  • You should only add categories on rare occasion, 99% of the additions will be pages.
  • Please PREVIEW your changes before you save them - this keeps the "Recent changes" list clean from several updates to the same section, making it easier to see what has recently changed.
  • The structure of your page or category name is very important. Each category or page is separated by an underscore "_"; a multiword page or category name should have spaces converted to underscores "_". Ex. "Belt Routing" would be renamed to "Belt_Routing".

In this example, we'll take adding an example category "Engines" to the "94-95_Mustangs" category. We will then add a page called "BeltRouting" to this category.

How to Add a Sub-Category

This shows how to add a category titled "Engines" under an existing category, "94-95_Mustangs".

  1. Navigate to the URL of the category you would like to add your category under. (http://www.mustang-tech.org/wiki/Category:94-95_Mustangs_Engines) Notice how I prefix the main category name in front of my new category name and separate the two with an underscore
  2. Click "edit this page"
  3. Insert the text you would like to show on the main category page
  4. Insert the special category tag with the parent category, a pipe "|" and the name by which the section you are adding should be categorized. Ex. [[Category:94-95_Mustangs|Engines]]
  5. Save your changes.

How to Add a Page

This shows how to properly add a page, "Belt Routing" to an exiting category "94-95_Mustangs_Engines".

  1. Navigate to the URL of the page you wish to add. Prefix the main category or categories it is filed under, separating each with an underscore. In our example you would navigate to http://www.mustang-tech.org/wiki/94-95_Mustangs_Engines_Belt_Routing
  2. Click "edit this page"
  3. Remember to include the category tag, a pipe "|" and the name by which this page should be alphabetized at the bottom so that the page is linked from its parent's page. Ex. [[Category:94-95_Mustangs_Engines|Belt Routing]]
  4. Save the page

How to Add a Top-level Category

I'll be adding the "EEC" category in this mini tutorial. This type of category creation should only be done by administrators.

  1. Navigate to the URL in which you would like to add your page. (http://www.mustang-tech.org/wiki/Category:EEC)
  2. Click "edit this page"
  3. Insert the text you would like to show on the main category page and save your changes.
