Expedition Wiki

[Tech]

Ladies and Gentleman... My Wiki is fully up and running now. I have been testing it for a bit and it is reliable and stable. Please feel free to use it for our how-to's for Expeditions. Please send me back any feed back or e-mail me if you need me to add or change anything. I think this is going to make things great for us and I hope the Admin's of the forum will keep the link somewhere to it. Please let me know if you have any questions. Oh, I almost forgot... You need to create a login in order to add to or create on the Wiki. It will make it easier to track who changes what and why.

I have made some categories of How-To's, however, that page is editable if any one would like to change it.

Check out this url for creating and editing Wiki's:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Cheatsheet

It is also listed under help.

P.S. Pay no attention to the domain name, it is my testing one. It's just for easy access to the Wiki.

Thanks!

If anyone needs help or a walk through of creating Wiki pages, please feel free to ask, I will be more than happy to help.

So do we repost anything we've post in the how-to section over there? Or is someone going to do that?

 

[Tech]

No, I am going to have to rewrite the ones that are in there. Might take awhile but give me something to do during down time. Feel free to help if you want.

If the moderators could send me links to most of the how-to's we have on here, I can start converting them over this weekend.

Please let me know if there is anything you would like me to change on the Wiki or something you don't like. I would love to see us using the Expedition Wiki not only to save money from going to the dealerships, but be able to have a great place for information to share with others.

How do you add pictures to an article?

Tried adding a couple to the oil change article.

I just need to enable file uploads. I can do that in just a few on my lunch break. Sorry. Forgot to do that.

 

[Tech]

Image uploads are now enabled. You may only upload 'png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg' file types. Please keep the images to a fair size so that the images won't take long to load because they are hosted on the server.

Thanks,

ELVATO, try it now. Let me know if you have any problems.

To add a picture, upload it, then use the [[Image:<imagename>.jpg]] to insert it into your Wiki entry where you want it. Let me know if you need any help.

Thanks!
