This section will help you learn how to add information to the wiki


First, Create a Free Account!

In order to write a new page or comment you need to create a free account. Click on the "Log in/create account" link in the top right corner. Create a user name and a password. Once you have created your account, log in using the "Log in/create account" and you are all set.

Wiki Structure

You can go back to the Main Page from anywhere in the Wiki by clicking the logo in the upper left corner, or the "Main Page" link in the navigation box. All articles and discussions are organized under Organ Composers, and the composers are listed under their respective musical eras.

Adding To or Editing Existing Pages

"Articles" are more formal entries listed under specific performance categories (such as registration, tempo and meter, or articulation and phrasing). Click the "edit" link directly above the article to add to or edit, or click the "edit" tab at the top of the page for access to the whole page. To save your work, be sure to click the "Save page" button at the bottom of the page before going to another page.

Commenting (Discussion)

Discussions ("talk" pages) contain more conversational entries (comments) about anything related to the piece or collection being discussed. Each page of the Wiki has its own discussion page. Click the "discussion" tab to read the discussion, and then the "edit" tab to take part.

Creating a New Page

Besides adding to existing pages as described above, OrganPlayingWiki is designed to grow by the addition of new pages. Adding a new composer, a collection of works, or a new piece requires two steps: 1) adding the new page, and 2) adding a link to that new page in the appropriate place.
