Other Fun Stuff

• want to link to another page on the wiki? use [[ ]] and put the page name in between the brackets

• like this -- User:Ali or this -- Sandbox

• if you misspell the page name, the link will appear in RED, like this Usre:Ali

• you can link to another page and have the text that appears say something other than the page you're linking to

• for example: Interested in the learning about the future of Free Geek? Try looking here
• note the |here after the page name

• want to create a new page? it's somewhat odd, but easy enough.

1. First, you'll type the name of the page you want to create in the Search box (not the google search) and click the "Go" button
2. Then a page will appear that says There is no page titled ":YOUR NEW PAGE". You can create this page.
3. So then click on the link create this page and start typing!
