Tips for wiki-development:

Creating a new page: Put the title of the new page in the search field. If the field does not exist you will get the option to create it.
Deleting and renaming pages: Next to the search field at the top of the page is a downward pointing arrow. If you move the mouse pointer over the arrow a scroll menu will appear with the options to delete or move (i.e., rename) the wiki page. If you move a page, you will have the option set up a re-direct from the old page name (this option is activated by default). Please deactivate the re-direct option if the re-direct is not needed (e.g., if you have created a new page and you want to rename it shortly after, i.e. before anyone knows of its existence)
Formatting: Use two times ' to enclose italic text and three times ' to enclose bold text.
Lists: Start the line with * in the first column, followed by a single space and then the text to be listed.
Creating sections and subsections: Use == around the title of top-level sections and === etc. around the title of subsections.
Internal link to a page: To link to another page use double [ ] around the name of the page. Optionally, you can specify an alternative link title by adding | followed by the alternative text.
Internal link to a section: As above, but after the page name add # followed by the name of the section. For example
```
 [[NorCPM User Manual - beta#Running the model|Instructions for running NorCPM]]
```
External link: To link to an external page use single [ ] around the URL of the external page. Optionally, you can specify an alternative link title by adding | followed by the alternative text. For example
```
[https://wiki.met.no/noresm/start NorESM wiki|NorESM wiki]
```
Comments: To comment (i.e., hide) text use
```

```

If your edits are too comprehensive to be done in a single session then please do your edits first on a development page (this one has "- beta" in its name, create it if it does not exist) and then copy and paste to the official page once the content is complete.
+* Do not delete any content from other people without consulting them. The wiki has a discussion feature which can be used for this purpose.
