Editing Documents in The TechWiki
The following article describes how to create, delete, rename, style, link, and make citations and references for articles in the TechWiki. The article also provides other tips and tricks to enable Product Managers to manage content on the Tech Wiki. Please note that as Product Manager you will need to read through all articles submitted by Tech Specialists and provide corrective feedback/deletions for articles that are not accurate or current.
Logging in and Getting Started
Make sure to log into the TechWiki to edit articles, delete articles, discuss with other users, and move articles. The log-in is found on the top left of the article. You can log in with your church account.
Now that you are logged in, let’s discuss each tab found at the top of each article.
Page Tab
The “page” tab shows the article as a normal viewer would see it.
Discussion Tab
The “discussion” tab allows you to communicate with the author of the article. To send a message to the author, select “edit source”.
Note: to get out of discussion mode, click the “page” tab.
Edit Tab
The “edit” tab puts the article in edit mode. You can edit or add additional paragraphs, add images, change the font, create lists, etc. Once you are done making changes, click the “Save changes…” button.
When you click the “Save changes…” button, you need to write a description of what you changed or added to the article. If what you added or changed was a minor edit, select the “This is a minor edit” check box. Click on the “Save changes” button once you are done.
Edit Source Tab
The “edit source” tab allows you to edit the source code of the article. You can do everything that can be done in the “edit” tab and more. You can add tables, customize headers, and change the CSS of the article. I won’t cover how to do those things in this how-to article.
When editing in the edit source editor, you will still need to save and add a description to what you edited. You can find this at the bottom of the page.
History Tab
The “history” tab shows all the edits done to the article you are viewing. You can talk to the editor, undo their edits, and see what else the editor has contributed.
Delete Tab
The “delete” tab allows you to delete an article.
Make sure to give a reason why you are deleting this article. Click “Delete page” when you are done.
Move Tab
The “move” tab allows you to rename a page, moving all its history to the new name. The old title will become a redirect page to the new title.
To move a page (rename a page), make sure the new title has the “Main” drop-down selected. Enter the new name. Add a reason for changing the name. Click “Move page” to change the name.
