This is your page! Do with it whatever you like! This stuff was put here just to help you get started. Delete whatever is here that you don't want! But it might be a good idea to read it over first, before you delete it...

Useful stuff

Certain very basic information is included below. The help pages contain much more, but reading them can be discouraging as they contain so much information.

Logging in to BoyWiki

• Put your user name.

and below, put your password. Be sure you type your password correctly, or it won't work! Use the correct "case," too.

• MyPassword is not the same as Mypassword or mypassword!

Editing/viewing/adding new sections to a page

Click on the tabs you see at the top of the screen to edit the whole page. For sections, use the "edit" thingy.

Most often used formatting marks

• These are the five most often-used formatting marks, and what they do:

• bold, italic, bold and italic

You use the "apostrophe" (the ' ) to make things bold, italic, or bold+italic.

Two apostrophes ( '' ) on each side of a word or sentences makes it italic. Three apostrophes makes it bold. Five apostrophes makes it bold and italic.

How to indent (make text that is not aligned at the left border)

Two things will indent a line. The asterisk ( * ) and the colon ( : ).

When you view this page in "edit" mode, you'll see how they can be used. Experiment with them!

How to create a new page section in any page (which automatically creates a Table of Contents for you, too!)

==COPY THIS, THEN PASTE IT== into your article.

• Of course, change the COPY THIS... and put whatever you want!

If you put three equal signs, then you get a sub-section ===THIS_MAKES_A_SUBSECTION=== into your article.

Creating new articles

It's easy. One way is to just edit the browser address bar (the thing at the top of the screen that says "https://boywiki.org/en/ <nowiki> *If you change it to: *<nowiki>"https://boywiki.org/en/My new article <nowiki> : and press enter, you'll be given the choice to create the article! (You have to be logged in, of course.) *Or you can type something like this: :<nowiki>[[My new article]]<nowiki> :then save the page. Then click on [[My new article]] and bingo! You're ready to go! ==Creating links in articles== Links can be a little tricky, but you'll get the hang of them quickly. :<nowiki>

This creates a link to another BoyWiki page: [[PUT_PAGE_NAME_HERE]]

This creates a link to a website other than BoyWiki (in this case, it's a link to : [https://boywrite.ivan.net BoyWrite

If you need more help with links, please see the Help section.

Searching BoyWiki

The searching tool isn't the best, but you can type a word or too in the search field to look for articles. If your search directs you to a page that already exists, but you are looking for something else, then just put an asterisk ( * ) in front of the word or words.

You also may want to check an old index of BoyWiki articles (but it is not complete) that you can find here:

• Main_Index_of_all_BoyWiki_pages_(must_be_manually_updated_when_necessary)

Choosing a category for an article

• At the bottom of your article you can put a category for it.

For example, books go in the category [[Literature]]<nowiki> You type something like this at the bottom of your article: <nowiki>[[Category:THE_CATEGORY_YOU_CHOOSE]]<nowiki> :If you click on the following link (our right-click, and choose "open in new tab/window" *[[https://www.boywiki.org/en/index.php?title=Special:Categories&offset=&limit=1000]] :you'll see all the categories for articles. *But don't worry too much about categories. Etenne will put them in for you. ==Signing your comments in Discussion pages, the Agora, etc (but not in articles themselves)== Here's what you need to put to "sign" your comments, etc. It's four "tildes"--<nowiki>~~~~ You can just copy

these here, and paste them after your comments to sign his posts.

BoyWiki etiquette

• If somebody else is doing most of the work on a page, it's better to make suggestions on the Discussion page of the article. *You can also click on the user's "talk" page (the thing you see after a user's name) and leave notes for him there, too, if you'd like.
• Some people are stubborn! (Hey! What is everybody suddenly looking at me for?) Be patient with other people...
• Generally, just be considerate of other's feelings. You, know, "do unto others as you'd have them do unto you".

So, what articles can you create?

• Basically, anything to do with boys or boylovers! Your favorite boy actor, boy singing group, boy film, anything!
• Or something serious: your experiences as a BoyLover, any good experiences/problems/etc. Your feelings. Whatever!
• Anything you have special knowledge about, that has to to with BoyLove, pedophilia, sex, etc.
• Legal information, sports information, about boys, etc. etc.
