We need help!

The Archives of Alta Plana are made in a way everybody can contribute to make it bigger and better. In the Lighted World the system used by Alta Plana is called a wiki. In a wiki all pages can be edited by everyone without loosing the old versions. A wiki used special syntax to make layout options more easier. You can find more info about the wiki syntax on this page.

Register to start

You can register and try out the wiki syntax before you start editing the real pages in the PlayGround. We ask you to register to make sure the Alta Plana Archives are not used for spam. Registering is simple and fast. We don't need much information. Just your commitment to help this community.

Due to frequent registrations by spammers the registration option has been changed. After registration send a comment via the contact form if you want to be able to edit pages to help!

Edit an article

You can edit pages by clicking on the edit button below each article (after you register and login). When you change something don't forget to save the page. If you just made a small change to the page, e.g. a spelling correction. Tick the “minor edition” button before you save.

Conventions

To keep the articles structured we need some conventions:

Language

Please use English as the language.

Page names

Make sure page names can be sorted alphabetical. Start with name, followed by dash (-), followed by sure name. E.g.

krantz-virginie

Use also an dash (-) where you need a space. e.g.

les-cites-obscures-et-nous

Page titles

Page titles should follow the page name convention. So start with the name, followed by a comma, followed by the surename. E.g. krantz-virginie will become Krantz, Virginie .

Don't start with The, La, La, Les but add them at the end between brackets. E.g.

Mystere d'Urbicande (Le)

Page content

After the page title you can add all the information you want. Always try to add a picture. You can make subsections with a lower header.

Tags

Try to end the page with a tag. The tag is a category what this page belongs to.

{{tag>Persons}}

if you need more than one tag:

{{tag>Transport Invention}}
