Can anyone point me to an LT wiki primer?

I'm trying to set up a wiki page for The Poetry Collective group. I sure could use a primer on how the wiki works.

Anybody know of where I can go for information about how to build a wiki page using LTs interface?

Or how about point me to another group's wiki page so I can maybe learn by example?

Oh, and Happy Fourth to everyone!

Happy 250th Independence Day to fellow Americans.

>1 DebiCates: I actually created a wiki for the Poetry Collective a few months ago. https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/Groups:The_Poetry_Collective

I don't know if there's a more direct way to make a wiki, but I went to the 75 Books Challenge wiki and changed the end of the url to the name of the group I was creating the wiki for—https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/Groups:75booksin2026 became https: //wiki.librarything.com/index.php/Groups:The_Poetry_Collective. Since the Poetry Collective wiki didn't exist yet, I got a page giving me the option to create it; I did and just copy and pasted stuff from the group's home page.

>2 amanda4242: Oh, I remember you did that now! Sorry to be so ungrateful as to forget, Amanda. And while I was creating a new one today (ugh) something was nagging at me that there was some prefix or something for a group. YOU are where I got that from...

I'll see if I can get rid of the one I set up today and work with the one you kindly set up.

If anyone knows of a primer out there, I still would love to read that.

The wiki help pages are pretty good - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Contents
