Editing the Scoundrels Glossary

To edit the Scoundrels Glossary, you have to register with the Scoundrels Wiki Site and log in. The instructions for this are on ScoundrelsWiki

Once you are logged in, navigate to ScoundrelsGlossary by clicking on the wiki name ScoundrelsGlossary on the ScoundrelsWiki page, or by going to PageIndex and clicking on it there.

Go to the very bottom of the ScoundrelsGlossary page, looking below the page window, and you will see the "Edit page" command. Click on that. You will then see an editing window with a graphic interface.

Go to the place on the ScoundrelsGlossary where you want to install the new word, and type in the word. Definition words should be capitalized, and the word "the" if used is also capitalized. A "The" before the word is not counted in the alphabetical order of the definition.

Put two asterisks before and after the word. This makes it bold. You can also accomplish this by highlighting the word and clicking on B in the Wiki Edit toolbar at the top of the page.

To understand the following examples, you have to look at them in the editing window. Otherwise you will not see the asterisks and other formatting marks:

example: Texas Twist.

A period and a space follow, then the definition. Please indicate if possible the origin of the word, e.g. "American Grifter Slang," "American Carnival," "English Grifter Slang," "Archaic French Slang," etc.

example:

Texas Twist. A complicated version of closed monte popular in Texas and the South. Also Country Boy, Texas Tornado.

After the definition you may want to include a note wiki page with further references or information and pictures.

To do this you create a wiki name, that is a two word name that has no spaces and both words capitalized. An example would be CountryBoy or TexasTornado.

Click on "Store" and then go to the place where your new wikiname is shown, and simply click on it. This will create a new wiki page with the name you have chosen.

First put a return address on the top and bottom of the page. You can simply go to edit on this page, highlight the top lines above the page title "Return to ScoundrelsGlossary" and then go to the new page and copy that as the first lines of the page. Place your title next, using five equal marks before and after the title to make it the largest font.

Then place your info and photos and click on "Store" You have created a wiki page and placed a link to it. That's it!

Now you can format your link further by using the brackets keys. TexasTwist can be shown as "Note," for example, by putting two brackets in front, TexasTwist, a space, the name for the new link (Note), and then two more brackets. Note When anyone clicks on Note, they will be sent to TexasTwist.

To make the name of the link bold, you must put the two asterisks on either side of the brackets as in this example:

More

A hyperlink to another web site can be added to a Glossary definition or to the note page with the same format, two brackets before the url, a space and then the name of the link, then two more brackets. Two asterisks on either side of the brackets makes it bold:

To understand any of the things that are done on a page, simply go to "Edit page" and you will see how it is accomplished and you only need to copy that.

If you have photos or illustrations to upload, you can send them to me, if you would like, and I will store them on the site and link them to the page you want. My e-mail is whit@whithaydn.com

Please pm or email me with any questions or problems.
