I think some people are having trouble knowing how to add challenges. Are there any simple instructions anywhere? I didn't see any on the page itself.

I did try just to step through creating a new page with the challenge template but there seemed to be some text boxes missing, it started Acceptance not Challenge. The template sections that are not showing up seem to be missing some {{NAME}} tags when you go to edit the template, that the ones that show up have, but I am not really sure if this is what signifies an editable box.

I don't know whether adding this will work or not or if anything else needs to be done, could someone who knows check it and add a very simple an obvious guide to adding new sections. Otherwise were are going to get more an more Martial Challenges that are not on the web page.

Cheers

I also noticed that is you go to 'create a new article' then select Challenge from the template drop down list the first time the box opens it seems to be a search for template page, if you cancel this and try again it does open the template. Is there a better way of doing this? anyway to set it up so that there is a add new challenge link that opens the template automatically?

Paul or other people here are best placed to answer - I haven't actually updated the page myself yet!

There is a tutorial on the wiki thread, with pictures. The best way to do it is to start with a blank page and use the drop down menus to format. Steer clear of the templates if you find them hard to use (as I do).

Once in a while I update some things, but rarely. For example, magnus' profile still says he is a mongoose who eats shoes.
.... or I could be completely wrong.

the last two posts here? viewtopic.php?f=15&t=13246&start=60

If so, Matt is there any way you can split them to their own thread then we can link it as a tutorial from the wiki.

cool. I edited the front page of the wiki (I didn't have permision to edit the menu bar) to point to that topic here. Might not be ideal but it is a start.
