Books - why and how

Book pages are useful if several users are writing different things about the same topic, and there is a desire to group the information.

Select Add a page to a Book from the Actions menu to create a front page for the "book", giving it a title and a summary of at least twenty-five words. You can also select tags for the book, to help others find it. If you are creating a front page then it's at the top level, so its parent is the top-level. Attach files if you wish.

You can then add new pages to the book by

  1. selecting Add child page at the bottom of the front page (this is now the parent page)
  2. submitting a new story or information item, and then selecting the Outline tab. You can then change the parent of the page to the book you want

If you do change someone else's page, please enter a log message and say why you've moved the page. It's only polite!
