The Mediawiki help doesn't seem to cover this idea... Adding a new section to an existing page... (== Something ==)
On an existing page with == Titles == the sections break into their own 'edit' sections. The Edit links are to the right of each section heading. Using those links leads one into a dead end. I suspect not much is said about how one adds a section because it is soooo obvious (never mind that I spent 30 minutes trying to find out how to make the change and not break the page).
Answer: Use the EDIT tab at the top of the page.

Re: Adding to Existing Pages
My sympathies, Nalates. I really find it hard to remember how to do things in a Wiki too. I guess we learn and share like this, and can create our own 'How to' page that will reflect what newbies like ourselves need. -- Well, that, and hoping nice, kind MacFife might help clear up any messes we make (a bit like Nyn does my messes on GoMa)

Well, there is another (but similar) way:Nalates wrote:Answer: Use the EDIT tab at the top of the page.
It kind of depends on where you want to insert the content, but let's say you want to add a new section part way down the page. The page has four existing headings and you want to add a new section between the existing second and third sections.
You can either:
- Click the edit link for the second section, scroll to the bottom of the edit window and insert the new section heading and text below the existing material, or
- Click the edit link for the third section and insert the new section heading and text above the existing material
Don't worry - If you do mess up anytime, select the "history" tab on the page and simply rollback your edit

Re: Adding to Existing Pages
You're right, I was chicken.
Thanks for explaining adding sections. Using the Edit links is easier.
It's great to know there is a roll-back available. Undo is always a great recovery tool. I had not realized that History could be used that way.
