Getting started
Welcome to the wiki for the Victoria Regional Riding Association. This wiki will act as the single source of truth for the Victoria Regional Riding Association.
What is a wiki?
A wiki is a form of publication on the internet which is collaboratively edited and managed by its audience directly through a web browser. Anyone can contribute to this wiki by using the edit button to change each pages content. This wiki is powered using MediaWiki. MediaWiki is a software that is used by tens of thousands of websites and thousands of companies and organisations including Wikipedia. MediaWiki is free, open, and time tested.
Reading this wiki
Searching
The quickest way to find information in this wiki is to look it up directly. On every page there is a search box.
Enter keywords and phrases and press Enter or Return or click the magnifying glass icon. If a page has the same title as what you entered, you jump straight to that page. Otherwise, it searches all pages on the wiki (with some restrictions), and presents a list of articles that matched your search terms, or a message informing you that no page has all the key words and phrases.
Navigation
Every page on this site not only has information to show you but also allows you to move to other pages. This is called "navigation". To help you navigate, every page has three main navigation elements:
- The sidebar gives you access to important pages in the wiki such as recent changes or upload file. This site requires you to log in before seeing all of the sidebar options, however sign in is not required.
- Tabs which relate to the page currently displayed: its associated discussion page (we are currently not using the discussion pages), the version history, and – most notably – the edit link.
- User links; as an anonymous user, you'll see a link to create an account or log in. As a logged-in user you have a collection of personal links, including ones to your user page and preferences.
Editing this wiki
When you edit a page on this wiki, the changes that you save will appear for everyone who uses the wiki. But, don't be afraid to edit! Pages can easily be reverted to previous versions, and mistakes can be fixed by other users.
To edit, simply navigate to the page that you wish to edit and click the 'edit" button which is found in the top right. Then, edit the content as needed. Once you are done, click "Save page" in the top right. The changes will appear for everyone who uses the wiki.
You currently do not need an account to use this wiki or edit it's pages. For details on how to edit a page, check out the editing guide.
