Hi Waltclay -- we are excited to have gOS Wiki as part of the Wikia community!

Starting a new wiki can be overwhelming, but don't worry, the Wikia Community Team is here to help! We have put together a few guides to getting started. They say imitation is the best form of flattery so absolutely check out other wikis on Wikia for ideas on layout, ways to organize your content, etc. We are all one big family at Wikia and the most important thing is to have fun!


 * Our guide to Getting Started gives you 5 things you can do right now to set your wiki up for success
 * We also put together some Advice On Starting a Wiki which provides a more a in-depth look at some of the important things you should consider when building a wiki
 * If you are new to wikis in general than we recommend checking our new user FAQ

If you need help (which trust me we ALL do) you can access our full in-depth help at Help Wikia, or email us through our contact form. Also, you can visit our live #wikia chat channel any time. A lot of the veteran "Wikians" hang out here so its a good place if come if you want to get some advice or simply make friends.

Now, go edit! We look forward to seeing this project thrive!

Best wishes, PanSola

Nav Links
Nav link syntax is like this:


 * linked page name | displayed text

for instance, you want your beginners section linked, you would want your MediaWiki:Navlinks page to look like this:
 * 1
 * mainpage|Home
 * Special:Recentchanges|Recent changes
 * Special:Upload|Upload image
 * 2
 * beginners|Beginners
 * MediaWiki:Navlinks|Content link 2
 * MediaWiki:Navlinks|Content link 3
 * MediaWiki:Navlinks|Content link 4

You don't need brackets with NavLinks and Sidebar sections of the page, it's already coded in.

editing side and top bars
Thanks, Motarrisu, but that's not how it is working. I get error message saying no such page, which isn't true - it can be linked with. When I make the choice on error message to look for page, it does nonsense search on the error message itself. Waltclay 20:47, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

editing side and top bars
OK. It works now that I've gotten rid of superfluous. Apparently it looks for page with as part of title. Thanks. Waltclay 21:05, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
