<sidebar>UGR Report Template Nav</sidebar> To create you web based report, you need to know a few tricks in WikiSpeak. Just edit this page and copy and paste from here to your new pages.

  • To create a new page, edit the page where the link should be and use the wiki syntax: New Page. When you click on New Page it will automatically create the page for you if it doesn't exist. Edit this page to see the syntax.
  • For main headings on the same page, use the == around the heading name. This will create sub-pages automatically.
  • For Bullets, use * or ** for multiple levels
  • MediaWiki help page for more formatting
  • Link to URL Example
  • Link to an uploaded file (PDF for example)
    • Click on the "Upload File" link in the "toolbox" on the left side of the page and browse to file. Uploaded file name might be reformatted on the wiki so copy the file name and paste that into your wiki page. Also, the filename is case sensitive!
    • Link to PDF Example
