Wrecks:Main Page

From Publication Station

Main Page for the Wrechs project.

To make the content from Wrechs independent from the rest of the Publication Station of the wiki, always use the namespace Wreck: on the pages you create for the project.

To create pages use the following syntax: [[Wreck:mypage]] which will translate onto [[Namespace:title of the page]], and result onto page (links), such as the following:

Wrecks:foo

Wrecks:mypage
