Talk:Alarums Wiki for Dummies

This substantially duplicates the non-orphan page [how to wiki|how to wiki] linked off the main page.

Also, the search trick isn't the best way to create a new page (it's a great way to create a bunch of orphan pages like this one). There's a better procedure on how to wiki.

Note that if I get around to putting Semantic Mediawiki up here (I had some problems; might try again with a newer version) then the search trick + categories becomes a more valid trick, as a page that links to another via a Semantic Mediawiki query -will- count as a real link and avoid accidentally orphaning pages. But without that, we shouldn't have pages that aren't linked to, so "make the link, then create the page via it" is much better than "use search to pull up a create a page button and then create an orphan.
