How to create a group

Please follow the steps below to create a group.

If you don't have an account for the wiki, follow this link to create one.

• To keep this guide visible open the groups page in a new tab/window
• Click the 'Edit this page' link from the right hand side, e.g.
• Scroll down the editor until you find a section titled 'Create your own group', this is only visible in edit mode.
• Follow those instructions, essentially copy the line below:

[[groups:EnterGroupNameHere]]** - short description of your group   

• Paste this into groups page above the line that reads:

/* Add new groups above this placeholder */

• Replace 'EnterGroupNameHere' with the name of your group
• Replace 'short description of your group' with a short description of your group
• Click 'Preview', once the page has refreshed, scroll down to make sure everything looks as you expect
• If not edit and preview until you are happy with the results
• Click the 'Save' button and the page will refresh with your shiny new link on display
• You'll notice the link is red, click the link and you'll be taken to a page which reads:

• At this point click the 'Create this page' link, which is almost identical to the 'Edit this page' link illustrated above.
• A new edit window will be opened with a template. Replace the place holder text with something sensible
  • Where applicable explain any acronyms
  • Be descriptive. Assume that the reader knows nothing about your group or it's activities.
  • If available please provide a link to your website/web presence.
  • Adding some form of contact detail (email address) is very useful and saves us, the CCA and potential attendees a lot of time.
• As above, edit/preview until you are happy with the results, then click save.

If you run into any problems please contact us.
