Welcome to PCB Wiki's Simple Starting Guide. This guide will teach you the basics of using MediaWiki and VisualEditor.

1. Creating Pages

There are a few ways to create a page:

  • Click a red link, which are links that go to pages that don't exist yet
  • Type a page into the form on the homepage
  • Search for a page (top right) that doesn't exist

Some of these methods will put you in the VisualEditor and some will put you in the Source editor. Unfortunately there's no way to set eh VisualEditor as default yet. If you're put in the Source editor, use the Create tab at the top-right to change to VisualEditor.

The Create tab is for the VisualEditor, the Create Source button is for the Source editor.
