How to start a TCwiki-page
There several ways to start a new page in the TCwiki:
- Write the name of the page you want to create into the search-box on your navigation bar. You write for example: Noun Phrases in Luganda. Then press *GO*. A special page opens for you. It mentions Search Results. If there does not yet exit a page with the title you choose for the page you are about to create, the search result is empty, and it says:"There is no page titled "Noun Phrases in Luganda. You now can create your page." That means that nobody else on the TCwiki has written about Noun Phrases in Luganda using the same title as you plan to use. The text: "You can create this page" is a link. Press this link. A new page appears with the title: Editing Noun Phrases in Luganda. On top of this page you see a tool-bar. Go there and press the button *CREATE*. You now have created that page and can start to edit it.
- Another way to create a new page is to start that page from your homepage at TC. You go to your homepage by pressing on your name in the upper right corner of your browser window. Remember you must be logged in to edit the TCwiki. On you homepage you go to the tool-bar above you page and press the *EDIT* button. You see a white field with the text and other material that you have put on your homepage. Go to the tool-bar right above you edit-box. The third button from the left is the button that creates an internal link for you.Press that button. The following code will be appear in your edit box: [[Link title]]. Replace the text Link title by the name of the page that you would like to create; so Noun Phrases in Luganda. Save your page and press the internal link that you just created. Again you come to a page called 'Editing Noun Phrases in Luganda', and again you want to go to the top of that page and press the button *CREATE*.You now have created that page and can start to edit it.
