Open access
Sklogwiki is, and hopefully will remain, open-access. That is to say, anybody with an internet connection can contribute to and edit SklogWiki. Here is how to do so...
How to edit a page
At the top of each page there are a number of 'tabs' with various functions:

To edit a page simply click on 'edit'. This will open a region at the bottom of the page
in which you can work.
Basic syntax
To add Bold text encapsulate the text within three apostrophes: '''Bold text'''
To add Italic text encapsulate the text within two apostrophes: ''Italic text''
To add both bold & italic text use five apostrophes: '''''bold & italic'''''
To add a link to a page within SklogWiki encapsulate the text within two square parenthesis [[page to link to]]
External links are encapsulated within a single square parenthesis, for example:
[http://www.example.org] results in [1]
[http://www.example.org display text]results in display text
http://www.example.org results in http://www.example.org
To add headlines:
Level 1
== Level 1 ==
Level 2
=== Level 2 ===
Level 3
==== Level 3 ====
Level 4
===== Level 4 =====
Level 5
====== Level 5 ======
To create a bullet list:
* one
* two
** two point one
* three
results in:
- one
- two
- two point one
- three
To create a numbered list:
# one
# two
## two point one
# three
results in
- one
- two
- two point one
- three
and finally, to add a 'thumbnail image on the right hand side of the page:
[[Image:Wiki.png|thumb|Caption text]]

All of these functions can be accessed by typing the mark-up directly, or by using the icons located at the top of the edit region.
