About Wikka Wiki Engine
Compared to heavier wiki engines, which integrate several built-in functions,
WikkaWiki's goal is to keep its core as small as possible while developing an architecture that supports easy extensibility through plugin modules.
WikkaWiki's lightweightness and code accessibility are among the most appreciated features of this
WikiEngine.
are easy to read, write and remember, and distinctive enough to be recognized by a wiki engine as
HyperLinks.
Simplified rules for creating a WikiName
* It must start with an Upper Case character.
* It must be a minimum of 3 characters (2 Upper Case, 1 lower case).
* It may end with either a Upper Case or lower case character or numeric charcter.
* There must be a least one lower case character somewhere between the first Upper Case character and the last Upper Case character.
* There can NOT be any numeric characters before the first lower case character.
Creating a new page
There are two ways to create a new page in Wikka:
1. Creating a new page from an existing page
The most common way to create a new page is to edit an existing page, insert somewhere in the page a pointer to the new page you want to create (either by using a
WikiName or a
forced internal link) and save it. The link to the new page will be highlighted as a missing page. Just clicking on this link will open an editable version of the new page.
2. Creating a new page from the browser address field
To create a new page from your browser address field, just type the name of the page (usually a
WikiWord) after the Wikka root URL. For instance, to create a new page on this server you just need to type in the browser address field
http://wikkawiki.org/NewPage∞.
Consider that creating a page in this way leaves the page orphaned until a link to it from an existing page is created. For this reason, the first method is preferred.
Editing An Existing page
To edit an existing page,
* click the "Edit Page" link. It can be found at the bottom-left of the page
* Alternatively, if double-click editing is enabled, you can double-click on the page to bring up the editing form
You will see the code of the page and will be able to edit it. You can for example format text, or add links and images.
With the Store Button, you save your changes. The Preview Button gives you a preview about how your changes will look. With Cancel, you go back to the page without changing anything. The field above these three buttons is for leaving notes on your edit, which will be shown on pages like
RecentChanges - please add a short note to every change so readers get some idea what was changed (and why).
Problems
If you get get the text You don't have write access to this page. You might need to register an account to get write access., log-in and try it again. If the same text appears, the owner of the page denies you this right.
Deleting a page
Admin users can delete pages.
To delete a page, browse to the page and add /delete to the end of the URL.
For example, if I wanted to delete a page named
UselessPage, I would browse to the page, click in my web browser's address textbox using the mouse, placing the cursor at the end of the address, and then type in /delete and hit the Enter key on my keyboard.
So the address would change from:
http://docs.wikkawiki.org/UselessPage//∞
to:
http://docs.wikkawiki.org/UselessPage/delete//∞
