Wow Wacko... U singelhandedly whiped out my entire Tutorial section by overwriting the start page with your new tutorial :shock:

But thats one of the beauties of a Wiki, I just rolled it back to the last good version and moved your new tutorial page into a sub-page :)

:oops: oooh, yes, after I did it, I saw myself what I did... Shame on me
I even read about Wiki 2 days before and wondered whether this couldn't lead to some problems :roll:
Nevertheless, I still don't see another edit-button where I could start in an empty page nor find a way to save my deeds in a fresh document, even in the FAQ:

Code: Select all

To create a new tutorial page: just click edit and make a new link using the notation used by the others... then click on the link to create the page
To get an edit button, I must open a document?! But then, where's that link to create the page??
And... I did use both hands :wink:

This way you'd make a cap for a bevel, u must go:
curve>primitives>bevel

He he, you make a link by entering A ((NameOfLink)) in the current dokument. Then save it and klick on the new link and viol?! : The new page is created :)

hehe? Where should I've known this from? So I have to edit an existing page by adding a link, save it, go to this page, follow the new link, edit that page, save it, open 1st page again, delete link, save page and done?
No other way??
I even can't create a proper link, all I get is nameoflink?, where just the '?' can be clicked...
Errrr, by finding this out, I destroyed the rotating doors page. Thought, I'd better use one of my own pages to play around but I better should have taken another one :?
I tried my best to bring it back, but as u said once, these tables are rather difficult. If u gave me a link to where this is explained, I'd give it another try, but - again - a rollback is probably faster. Sorry m8, wiki seems to be an abbriviation for "Wacko Instantly Kills It"!? But say one word, and I promise to never touch it again...

Well, it works like this: It all starts at the base ( The HomePage ).
Anything written in CapitalizedWordsLikeThis will be treated as a Wiki link, or you can force any words into a link with the ((A nice link)) or ((RawLink|This is a raw link)) notation.

But creating a link does not create a page. And if the link leads to an undefined page: you get the link with the ending ?
Klicking the ? lets you define the page. If the page is defined: you will see a normal link.

There is a special page named SandBox for natural disasters like you Wacko, that can never be saved, only previewed... this is for beginners and testing in general as nothing will be destroyed ( or saved in this page ).

Dont worry about destroying anything. I mean: Anyone can go in and edit any page there: so it is designed to survive even you Wacko ;) So fear not!
