Adding your own book to the wiki

Adding your own book is easy! Here's how to get started.

  1. Create an account by clicking 'Sign up' in the menu.
    • When signing in via Email, make sure to check your spam folder to confirm your account!
    • You can also use Discord to register.
  2. Create a book by going to 'Books' and selecting 'Create new Book'.
    • Give your book a nice name, thumbnail, and some tags (optional)
  3. Add pages to your book to fill it with content.
    • You're looking at a page right now! Pages can contain text, images, videos and more.
    • You can also create chapters to organize your pages.
    • If each page of your book covers very different topics, consider tagging them!
  4. The 'Books' tab will contain your book, for everyone to see.
    • Collaborators can add your Book to a Shelf to make it even easier to find.
  5. Check the style guide and adjust your pages if needed.

You did it! 🥳 Before you go, here's a quick reminder of how BookStack (the wiki platform we use) is structured:

  • Shelves contain books.
    • Only admins can manage shelves
    • Books do not need to be in a shelf. They can also be in multiple shelves.
  • Books are be created by users.
    • Only the user who created a book can manage it.
  • Pages are contained in books. Pages can be organized into Chapters.
  • Tags can be added to shelves, books or pages to categorize them.
