Using Highspeed Wiki
Top-right corner of this wiki
In the top-right corner, you have all the necessary links for editing pages and changing your user preferences. For now, focus on the Read, Edit and View history tabs.
Read - Tabs to see how the page looks in read-mode
Edit - Click this tab to enter edit-mode and to make changes to the page
View history - This tab shows all the changes made for the page since the page was created. Here Administrators and Bureaucrats can rollback changes made by other users.
The Star Icon - click the star icon next to 'View history'-tab to add the page to your personal watchlist. The wiki will send you a notification every time there is a change made to the page you are watching.
All Administrators and Bureaucrats are strongly recommended to watch after the pages they are responsible for!
MediaWiki Sample page
This is a great page to see how a good looking page is created. Click the 'Edit' tab and change the page to source code from the pen symbol. If you find something you want from this page, just copy the syntax and change the text.
