How to add your story
Step 1. Choose a title
Once you have an account, you can create a new page for your story to be on. Look at your browsers' address bar. Right now it should display this address
http://wiki.oigekeane.com/Oigepedia:Stories
Click inside the address bar and change the URL to a new page using the prefix Story: followed by your title. It should look like this
http://wiki.oigekeane.com/Story:Memories of Oige by John Smith
or
http://wiki.oigekeane.com/Story:Exploring Cachuma Lake in Summer
Once you have typed the URL you want, press enter.
Step 2. Edit the page
After you press enter, you should see the message
- "There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, search the related logs, or edit this page."
(If you don't see this page, and see other text, it means someone is already using that title. Try another title.)
Press edit this page. Type or paste your story in the box. At the bottome of the page, write [[Category:Stories]] so that your page automatically appears in the list of stories. Press preview to see how it will look or press the "Save page" button to upload your text. That's it! You're done!
