Mental Health Law Online:About

The following guidelines are all you'll need to start creating pages on the Wikimental database.

Editing a page

Any page except the Main Page can be edited. To edit any page which you are reading:

• Click "edit" at the top of the page.
• Make your changes.
• Click "save".

Adding a new page

Note that RED links are links to pages which do not yet exist. Click on a red link to create the page.

To add a new page of your own, make a link to your new page:

• Go to the page where your new page belongs (e.g. if you are adding a case, go to the caselaw index page).
• Click "edit".
• Add an internal link (see below) to your proposed page.
• Click "save".

Now make your new page:

• Click on the red link which you have created.
• Type your page.
• Click "save".

Adding an internal link (to another Wikimental page)

When editing the page, just place two square brackets at each side of the page name, e.g. [[Mental health caselaw]] becomes Mental health caselaw

Adding an external link (e.g. to Bailii)

The easy way:

• Just type in the full website address, e.g. http://www.bailii.org.uk becomes http://www.bailii.org.uk

The hard way:

• Enclose the website address with single square brackets.
• After the website address, leave a space and type the website name.

e.g. [http://www.bailii.org.uk The Bailii website] becomes The Bailii website

Adding section headings (like this one)

Enclose the section heading with == on either side, e.g. == Section heading ==.

Use === for sub-headings.
