Created page - removing it from guidelines

New page

A few basic instructions for how to use the Yocto wiki.

==Creating a Page==

Before creating a new page, you should first make sure that a page on your topic does not already exist:
# In the search box in the upper right corner, enter your topic.
# If the exact topic exists, the page will open.
# If there are related pages, you will get a search results page. Check if your topic is in the results.
# If your topic does not exist, choose '''create this page'''.

==How to edit a page==

If you'd like to change a page.

# Make sure that you are logged in.
# Click the '''Edit''' link.
# Enter your changes in the box.
# In the '''Summary''' box, enter a short explanation of what you did.
# Click '''Show preview''' if you want to check your changes.
# Click '''Save page'''.
