For anyone who had been put off creating or updating articles on the
wiki by the need to understand the wiki markup language, fear no more!

Its now has the Visual Editor installed and running.

This gives you a much simplified way to edit text, create links, and
upload photos. If you can do basic editing in a word processor, then
this should all seem familiar.

Once logged in, you will now see that there are two edit links at the
top of the page, and on each editable section of an article. One called
"Edit", and another called "Edit Source".

When you click Edit now you will go to the new editor (it takes a moment
to load sometimes).

If you click the Edit Source link, you get the traditional wiki markup
editor.

There is a user guide he

(If this new fangled wyiwyg is all too much change for you, then nip
into your preferences, and you an elect to get the old editor by default!)

idea how to find it!

Where have you been the last mumble years? ;-)

OK home page is he

http://wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/

The categories page is not a bad place to start either:

http://wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/index.php/Special:Categories

You can read anything you like without logging in. If you want an
account, then drop me an email. With an account you can change your
preferences (layout, style etc) and have it remember your settings from
one visit to the next. You will also then be able to create new articles
or edit existing ones. (which can be anything from fixing typos to
adding whole new sections etc).

If you want to see what has been updated recently:

http://wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/index.php/...:RecentChanges

(not much by the looks of it!)

The most popular article list is he
