Editing

This wiki contains images and pages that are grouped in Collections. Collections form a hierarchy, so that anything that is e.g. in the "Churches/Religious" collection is also in the "Buildings" collection.

Important Things to Remember

• There is no autosave function! If you are creating a large page or doing a large edit, be sure to click "Save changes" often so you do not lose your work.
• Do not be worried about making errors when editing pages. A wiki is meant to be robust. There is no practical limit to the number of edits you can make, and you can revert a page to an earlier version at any time.
• Many of the functions on this page will not work unless you are logged in with an account that has the correct permissions.
• If you have any questions or problems, please contact us at squirrel@squirrelslair.ca.

Adding an image

I wonder if there is a way to automatically add the template...

1. Upload the image
2. Add Template:Image description to annotate the image: add {{Image description}} to the description field
3. Save
4. "Edit with form" to annotate the image and add it to relevant collections
