Add and edit wiki pages

TFS 2018

You can add a title and content to a page, after the wiki Git repository is provisioned for your team project. There's a side-by-side edit and preview experience where you can edit the page and preview the content as you go.

While you author pages using Markdown format, you can also use the format pane for rich-text formatting and inserting images, attachments, and links.

Wiki home page

As you edit the page, save it by entering Ctrl+S. To save with a custom revision message, select next to Save. For more shortcuts, see Keyboard shortcuts to manage wiki pages.

Wiki page title naming restrictions

Each wiki page corresponds to a file within the wiki Git repo. Names you assign to a wiki page title must conform to the following restrictions.

Restriction type Restriction
File name The fully qualified page path shouldn't exceed 235 characters.
Uniqueness Page titles are case sensitive and must be unique within the wiki hierarchy.
Special characters - Must not contain any Unicode control characters or surrogate characters.
- Must not contain the following printable characters: / \ : < > * ? | - #.
- Must not start or end with a period ..
- Titles of pages added offline must not contain a blank space.
File size Must not exceed the maximum of 18 MB.
Attachment file size Must not exceed the maximum of 19 MB.

Edit and delete wiki pages

To edit an existing wiki page, open the page and select Edit, or open the context menu and select Edit. You can also use keyboard shortcut e to go to the edit of the current page quickly.

To delete a page, open the context menu from the tree or the one inside the page and select Delete. Confirm the delete in the dialog that opens.

Note

When you delete a page, you also delete all the metadata and all its subpages (if any) in the hierarchy.

Reorder a wiki page

You can reorder pages within the wiki tree view to have pages appear in the order and hierarchy you want. You can drag-and-drop a page title in the tree view to do the following operations:

  • Change the parent-child relationship of a page.
  • Change the order of the page within the hierarchy.

Note

Moving a page in the hierarchy may break links to it from other pages. You can always fix the links manually after you move. Reordering a page within a hierarchy has no impact on page links.

You can also use keyboard shortcuts to reorder pages. Select a page and press CTRL + UP ARROW or CTRL + DOWN ARROW to change page orders. To change the parent-child relationship of a page, open its context menu and select Move. The Move page dialog opens. Select a parent page under which you can move the current page.

Make a page the wiki home page

By default, the first page you add when you create a wiki is set as the wiki home page. You can change your wiki homepage if another page becomes more relevant by dragging and dropping the page to the top of the tree.
