Log In

To create a new wiki page, you must first log in to the wiki using your SRP username and password.

Create a Title

Once you are logged in, type this into the browser address bar: www.straightrazorplace.com/srpwiki/index.php/New Wiki Page Title where "New Wiki Page Title" is the title you'd like to use. Then press enter and you will be shown the message "There is currently no text in this page, you can search for this page title in other pages or edit this page."

Near the top of the page, you will see the following option tabs: Page, Discussion, Create, Watch. Click the "Create" tab, and you will be taken to an edit page where you can write your new page text

Preview the Page

At the bottom of the page you're creating will be the options: Save page, Preview, Changes. Click "Preview" to see how your new article will look like once it is saved. If you see anything you need to edit before you save the page to the Wiki, scroll down below the preview and make your changes in the editing area.

Repeat as often as necessary until you are satisfied with your page.

Save it to the Wiki

Click on "Save page"

That's it! If you want to insert your own file into your new page, upload it to the wiki first and then insert into your page using whatever wiki commands are appropriate.
