Updating the wiki is very easy.

To edit existing pages

  • Click the Edit link at the top of the page or on any section.
  • Edit the page contents and click save.
  • If presented with a simple question about RT, answer it. This helps us keep the wiki spam to a minimum.

To add new pages

If name of the new page doesn't match CamelCase notation, like REST or Ticket use REST or Ticket.

You can use the following trick as well:

  • In the URL string of your browser write https://rt-wiki.bestpractical.com/index.php?title=NameOfNewPage
  • Hit enter and you'll seeing a page that already exists or a page that gives you the option to create a new page. Click the links to do that.
  • This trick has a trade-off, as a new page is not linked to from any other page. People can only find it with the search box, so you have to add links later.

  • LowHangingFruit - improvements to wiki formatting which do not require extensive knowledge of RT.
