Tips & Tricks

If you have your own tips & tricks for working on the Atheism United Wiki, add them here to help others benefit from your shortcuts.

Tweak your editing preferences to make your wiki experience easier!

• Adjust the Size of editing window Columns and Rows to make the editor fit properly in your browser window.
  • Make sure that you make the Rows setting small enough so that you can see the Save page button on the first view, without having to scroll down the window to see it. This will save time and drudgery.
• Select the Enable section editing via [edit] links checkbox if it is not already selected.
  • This allows multiple people to edit different sections on the same wiki page without accidentally making overlapping edits. This is especially important on large wiki pages like the Longest list of atheist URLs ever! page. If we didn't use section editing, working on that page would be a nightmare.
• Select the Enable section editing by right clicking on section titles (requires JavaScript) checkbox. I haven't used this yet, but it probably doesn't hurt to have it enabled.
• Select the Edit pages on double click (requires JavaScript) checkbox.
  • This one is super awesome and will make it much much easier for you to get into a flow as you're working on the wiki.
• Select the Show edit toolbar (requires JavaScript) checkbox. This is a very helpful toolbar, especially for newcomers.
