Welcome to the RCGRS MRT SIG MediaWiki instance!

This "wiki" is based on the same opensource code used to make the famous wikipedia web encyclopedia work. The concept is simply to make information findable and update-able in a rather plain wrapper that invites regular folk use.

Getting started

Type the name of a Page you would like to create in the box below!

Use the "edit" button for a fully WYWIWYG editor, and "edit source" is a standard sort of "forum editing" page with a preview pane and formating buttons along the top of the editing window..

What are we saving here? WHATEVER YOU WANT. Want to share a list of links to vendors and products you've used with others? Type them in! Share the URL.

Security

Ostensibly, you should be a member in good standing with the Rose City Garden Railway Society to create and edit pages. But everyone can LOOK all they want.. That is sort of the point of a wiki, to share information!
