Getting started

Wikiglide is a wiki: every page is written and improved by its readers. Pages are written in HonoWiki markup — if you’ve edited Wikipedia, it will feel familiar (the markup guide covers everything, and points out each place HonoWiki goes its own way).

Reading needs nothing

Browse, search, follow links, read history and discussions — all without an account. Every article has four tabs: Read · Talk · Edit · History. The logo button (top left) opens the site menu: recent changes, all pages, files, users, and this guide.

To edit, you need a verified account

Register — username, email, password. Your address just needs to receive one verification mail.
Click the link in that mail (it’s valid for 24 hours; you can resend it from the banner).
That’s it — editing, page creation, uploads, and discussions unlock. Details in Accounts & permissions.

Your first edit

Open any page → Edit. You get a source editor with live problem-checking, and Preview renders your text exactly as the page will look. Write a short edit summary and save. (Signed-in readers also get an [edit] link on every section heading to edit just that section.)

Your first page

Create page in the site menu (or the “create it” offer on any page that doesn’t exist yet) asks for a title first, then drops you in the editor.

Titles worth knowing about:

Spaces are fine: Star Wars. Case matters beyond the first letter.
One / makes a subpage: Star Wars/Kuiil belongs to Star Wars. A single level only.
Apostrophes, accents, and CJK are all fine.

The five-minute markup


= A heading =
 
''italic'', '''bold''', a link to [[Another Page]],
and one to [https://example.com an external site].
 
* a bullet list
# a numbered list
