Welcome to BritishLocalHistory Wiki Edit Help

Wiki is organised in an hierarchical structure and consists of pages. Pages can be articles or categories.

• Articles are pages that contain objective content. They can be the definition of an historical term, the answer to a frequently asked question, specific and acknowledged description of an historical fact, place, persons or event. To create a new page or link with an existing Wiki page or an existing Wiki article simply use the [[ and ]] to enclose the name of the category. Example - [[England]] - will link to the page about England.

• Image Uploads - You can upload relevant images with sizes upto 1 MB. Once uploaded, the system will display a message about the successful upload of your image. You can view the image once you click the 'Save' button on the bottom left corner.

• Before creating an article - Consider doing a search on Wiki to see if it or a similar article already exists. If it has already been created, then you can click "Edit" to the top right and build upon its content. If the article you are looking for does not exist, you can create it by clicking on the box in the right hand column.
