1. Step 1- Go to Wiki
   
   The moment you go to the Wiki you will see that there is a tab on the MAIN page for edit.
   
   Please resist the temptation to edit the Main page as there is plenty to do on the corresponding topic pages.
2. Step 2 - Drill down to Topic Page
   We recommend, for the time being, drilling down into the Major Topic Areas and adding your FAQs to the child pages of this main page, rather than at the level of the Main page. If you would like to see a topic added, please request it in the Suggestion and Comments forum but feel free to add additional FAQ pages to the pages underneath the major topic areas.
   For example, if you wanted to add contents to the Exchange Infrastructure FAQ, you could navigate to the Exchange Infrastructure Page. There you can easily track your navigation steps via the upper level navigation (breadcrumbs) My Home > Wiki > ... > SAP NetWeaver > Exchange Infrastructure
   In the Exchange Infrastructure Page, you will find an existing child page called Exchange Infrastructure FAQs. It was created using a template called FAQ.
3. Step 3- Creating a new FAQ page
   Creating a new FAQ child page is easy. You can select the Edit tab of the Exchange Infrastructure page:
4. Step 4- Wiki Markup
   Choose Wiki Markup.
   
   By using a set of simple Wiki notations, you can create links, lists, headings, and tables. Any time you use the bracket notation, you can forward navigate and create a new page linked to the bracketed link, on the fly.
5. Step 5- Wiki Link Notation
   For example to create XI Adapter FAQ, you could write:

   [XI Adapter FAQ|XI_Adapter_FAQ]
   

   which would create a placeholder for the creation of a new FAQ page once you saved your wiki markup text.

6. Step 6- Forward Navigate and Create New Page
   
   After you save, click on the "green plus sign" next to the newly created link placeholder and you will forward navigate into the creation of a new wiki page.
7. Step 7- Select Template
   You can then select a template upon which to base your page.
   
   Choose FAQ
   
8. Step 8- Begin Embedding Questions
   It is at this level that you can begin to embed your XI questions into the FAQ.

   Just the FAQs

You are now ready to use simple anchors for questions and answers. There is an excellent example in the BI Accelerator FAQ. You can also use the help guide which is visible in Wiki Markup mode to create anchors and return to the top of the page.
Here's the help explanation.

{anchor:anchorname}

Creates a bookmark anchor inside the page. You can then create links directly to that anchor. So the link

[My Page#here]

will link to wherever in "My Page" there is an

{anchor:here}

macro, and the link

[#there]

will link to wherever in the current page there is an

{anchor:there}

macro
Example:

{anchor:top}
[back to top|#top]
