It's always good to see a new tutorial on the wiki. If you have a tutorial that you made and it was made in a non-wiki site, or if the tutorial you got from a site is not copyrighted, there is an easy way to port HTML-based web pages into the mediawiki format. Please remember to give credit:

Step 1

Go to this site below:

HTML to MediaWiki

Select RAW HTML. Save the webpage containing the tutorial you want.

After saving the page into preferably your desktop, right click the file and highlight open with and click on Notepad.

Step 2

Then, press CTRL+A (or edit>select all) to highlight the HTML code. Then press CTRL+C (or edit>copy) and on the provided input box on the converter, press CTRL+V (or edit>paste)

Go to the drop down menu where it says "Dialect", and select Mediawiki.

After this, click on Convert HTML to wiki markup.

Step 3

You will see a new box stating "MediaWiki Markup". Click on that box and press CTRL+A (or edit>select all) to highlight the MediaWiki markup code. Then press CTRL+C (or edit>copy) and on the new article page you want to make, select the text box and press CTRL+V (or edit>paste) to paste your tutorial.

Step 4

Click on show preview to check whether it appears the way you want it or not. You should also consider revising before clicking Save Page. Once you have ensured it appears the way you want it, click on save page.
