Add an append

1 Description

The wiki "Swiki" has the option: "Add an append"

To add an append (add to the page) area, begin a line with +. This will turn into a text area in the view mode, so users can add to the page without editing. This can be used to stop people from deleting a page's content; simply add the + line and lock the page; now, users are able to add, but not delete. Here are several options you can use with append areas (just add the character of each feature you want after the initial +):
^ Append area stays at the top and appends go down.
_ (underscore) Appends are separated by horizontal lines. This can be useful for being able to tell the difference between different appends.
+ Append areas are self replicating, so that an append also creates another append area. In this way, it is easy to respond to a specific append.
@ Appends are marked with a timestamp. This can make it easier to identify the dynamics of certain discussions.
- (dash) Append areas do not show up on the page. Rather, there is just a button (add to the page here) that takes you to a separate page to add the comment. This is particularly useful in combination with self replicating appends (+ above), so that the amount of append areas does not dominate the page's content.
