Some Basic Rules

• No swearing! Common basic manners and rules of decorum will apply to all entries on Chronopedia. This is not a forum for arguments or vendettas.

• Evidence not opinion! If you can back up your page with evidence and citations please put them at the bottom of the page.

• Credit Please! If you have taken the information from elsewhere please link and credit it. Be sure you can use the content or image.

• Everything Checked! All new pages will be reviewed and either approved, edited or in extreme cases deleted by administrators of Chronopedia.

Tips for Creating Pages

There are a few tips and rules:

1. Put as many links as possible in any new page….link back, forwards, up and down to others within Chronopedia. We want to make this a reference site for all users. A page that just ends does not really work as well. An example would be:

Country – Maker – Model -Movement – other watches – Link at bottom of page back to Model – Maker -Country -Main Page

2. To create a link put double square brackets around the word or title. Like this:

 [[MainPage]]

To put a link in an existing document put the double brackets around it. Once the page is saved, a link will appear. Click the link. If the page already exits on Chronopedia, you can link to it using the pop-up window. If it doesn’t, you can create a new page.

3. To bullet point a list use the * key first.

4. To create a heading use double equals eg

==Main Heading== 

If you put more than 3 headings in one page it will automatically create an Index of Contents at the top of the page. Just like this one.

5. If you create a new page put this at the bottom with as many links as you wish

==Links==
*[[Main Page]]
*[[Country]]
*[[Previous page – eg where this page came from]]
*[[Other Useful Links]]

6. To upload a picture or logo, click the Mountain logo on the toolbar. Browse for a file on your pc or phone. Ensure you have rights to the image and tick the box. Upload the file and give it a description. The default upload is a thumbnail which is the best size and it will position on the right side of the page. You can upload as many images as you wish and in any section. It is best to insert in the line after the heading.
