The old style was to add all content for a topic on one gigantic page that scrolls forever. Then we discovered you could import the contents of an independent sub-page onto your gigantic page as if it was already together with "transclusion":
			<nowiki>{{:NewPageName}}</nowiki>

			However we are moving away from this for a few reasons.

			===Redirecting===
			If there is an older and a more updated page, it's better to "redirect" to the new one, so the user who finds the old page will be automatically sent to the new page.

==How to edit the Wiki==

'''Wiki Training September 2025'''

===Creating a Page===
To create a page, copy/paste this URL into your browser: <nowiki>https://www.fairlatterdaysaints.org/answers/NameOfNewPage</nowiki>

Replace "NameOfNewPage" with the name of your new page. You will be prompted to create a new page. If you want spaces to appear in the name of the page (e.g., your page will be "Brigham Young and Plural Marriage"), then use underscores instead of spaces in the URL (e.g., <nowiki>https://www.fairlatterdaysaints.org/answers/Brigham_Young_and_Plural_Marriage</nowiki>).

Note that there are two wikis: "answers" and "evidences". If you are adding a page to the "evidences" wiki, you will replace the "answers" with "evidences" in the URL above. Any internal navigation will be only within the wiki you are in.

===Editing a Page===
Find the page you want to edit, and click "Edit" on the left menu, or anywhere else you see an "edit" link. You often will want to look at other similar pages to see how they format their pages.

===Headers===
To create a header for a page like "Headers" above, use "=" signs (above uses size 3):

<nowiki>== Header Size 2 ==</nowiki>

<nowiki>=== Header Size 3 ===</nowiki>

<nowiki>==== Header Size 4 ====</nowiki>

Some old pages use Header Size 1, but per current standards we should not use this for page titles. Use Size 2.

===Formatting Scriptures===
<nowiki>{{s||John|7|42}}</nowiki> results in: {{s||John|7|42}}

<nowiki>{{s|2|Nephi|3|14-15}}</nowiki> results in: {{s|2|Nephi|3|14-15}}

===Linking Outside the Wiki===
To make a hyperlink to the outside internet, use this format:

<nowiki>[https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bd/joseph-smith-translation?lang=eng JST from the church website]</nowiki>

(Notice the first space separates where the link goes from what is displayed.)

This shows a link like this: [https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bd/joseph-smith-translation?lang=eng JST from the church website]

===Linking Inside the Wiki===
To make a hyperlink to a page within the wiki you are in:

<nowiki>[[Brigham Young|Click here for the awesome Brigham Young Main Page]]</nowiki>

[[Brigham Young|Click here to go to Brigham Young Main Page]]

So "Brigham Young" is the name of the page (after "answers" in the URL). "Click here to go to Brigham Young Main Page" is what the reader sees to click on.

===Redirecting to another page===
If the page you are on is old and there is a more updated page, it's better to "redirect" to it, and make it such that old page content will go to the new page when searched.

To do this, type this at the top of the page: <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[pagename]]</nowiki>

===To edit a nagvigation box===
If you see a navigation box like this:

{{Navigation:Brigham Young}}

Click on the "V" on the left to edit.

To reference an existing navigation box, type this: <nowiki>{{Navigation:Brigham Young}}</nowiki>

===More Formatting Options===
This wiki software is called "MediaWiki". If you want to see many more formatting options, go to the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting MediaWiki website].
