2 How to add new pages

Check the source code of one or more of the children pages listed in the Introduction to get a better idea of the structure, but the common structure is as follows:

  1. All children pages must start with Installation/Linux
  2. Next indicate the OpenFOAM version/variant/fork it refers to - e.g. OpenFOAM-2.1.1 - and in that page, must refer have at the bottom of the page this code:
    [[Category:Installing OpenFOAM on Linux]]
  3. If the instructions are detailed for a specific Linux distribution, place it's main name last and must refer at the bottom of the page this code, e.g. for Fedora:
    [[Category:Installing OpenFOAM on Linux]] [[Category:Installing OpenFOAM on Fedora]]
