Got an instrument, course, or topic Wikiendo doesn't cover yet? Add it — it takes 2–3 minutes.
Every page lives under a section. Pick based on what you're adding:
| If you want to add... | Put it under... |
|---|---|
| A new rotary NiTi file | instruments/rotary-files/<file-name> |
| A new reciprocating file | instruments/reciprocating-files/<file-name> |
| A new hand file | instruments/hand-files/<file-name> |
| A new motor | instruments/motors/<motor-name> |
| A new apex locator | instruments/apex-locators/<device-name> |
| A new microscope | instruments/microscopes/<scope-name> |
| A new irrigation device | instruments/irrigation/<device-name> |
| A new obturation device | instruments/obturation-devices/<device-name> |
| A new sealer | instruments/sealers/<sealer-name> |
| A new MTA / bioceramic product | instruments/mta-bioceramic/<name> |
| A new clinical article on diagnosis | articles/diagnosis/<topic-slug> |
| A new article on a procedure | articles/procedures/<topic-slug> |
| A conference | courses/conferences/<name> |
| A textbook | courses/textbooks/<name> |
| An online course | courses/online/<name> |
Slug tip: use lowercase, hyphens-between-words, no spaces. Example: protaper-gold, not ProTaper Gold.
Top-right person icon → Sign In (or Create new account).
For example, to add a new rotary file, open /instruments/rotary-files.
Open the left page tree (hamburger icon at top-left if hidden). Hover over the parent folder — a small + icon appears to the right of the folder name. Click it.
Alternative: from any page, click the "⋯" menu (top-right) → New Page.
A dialog asks for:
instruments/rotary-files/protaper-next. Double-check the folder — Wiki.js will create intermediate folders if you mistype.Pick Visual Editor → click Select.
Use the toolbar like a word processor. A good instrument page has:
Copy the layout from an existing page: go to /instruments/rotary-files/protaper-gold, click the pencil to edit, copy the source (switch editor to Markdown from the top menu to see the source), then cancel and paste into your new page. Change the details.
In the right sidebar of the editor, click Tags and add:
category-rotary-files, category-apex-locators, etc.brand-dentsply, brand-coltene, brand-vdw, etc.niti, heat-treated, controlled-memory, reciprocating, rotary, single-file-system, multi-file-system.working-length, minimally-invasive, pediatric — type any new tag and press Enter.Tags are the backbone of the shop-style browsing — please add them.
Paste this HTML block at the bottom of the page (switch to Markdown editor from the top menu if the visual editor hides it):
<div data-wikiendo-reviews data-type="instrument" data-slug="YOUR-SLUG"></div>
Replace YOUR-SLUG with the last segment of your page path (e.g., protaper-next).
For courses, use data-type="course" instead.
Click the green Save button. Your page is live.
Easiest way — the floating "+ Add sub-page" button.
Every content page on Wikiendo shows an orange + Add sub-page button in the bottom-right corner. Click it on the parent page, type a title (e.g. "S1 file" or "Upper first molar access"), and you'll land directly in the editor with the correct sub-path already set. Save, done.
For example: from the ProTaper Gold page, click + Add sub-page → enter "S1 file" → the editor opens at /e/en/instruments/rotary-files/protaper-gold/s1-file. Whatever you write there becomes the new sub-page, automatically nested under ProTaper Gold.
Manual way — the path syntax parent/child/grandchild automatically creates the folder hierarchy. There is no separate "create folder" step — folders are implied by the path.
Concrete example: adding "Upper first molar access" under "Access cavity preparation":
/articles/procedures/access-cavity-preparation.articles/procedures/access-cavity-preparation/upper-first-molar
That extra /upper-first-molar segment makes Wiki.js create a sub-folder under access-cavity-preparation and put the new page inside it.article, topic-procedures, tooth-upper-first-molar, subtopic-access-cavity.After save, /articles/procedures/access-cavity-preparation becomes a parent page with a sub-tree underneath. The page tree on the left will show:
articles/
procedures/
access-cavity-preparation/ ← parent (still readable)
upper-first-molar/ ← your new page
You can keep going as deep as you need, e.g. articles/procedures/access-cavity-preparation/upper-first-molar/mb2-anatomy.
Every page should have at least one illustration when possible (clinical photo, radiograph, CBCT slice, instrument photo, diagram).
Until you have an image, paste this block where the image should go (Markdown editor or HTML):
<div class="we-img-placeholder">
<span class="we-img-placeholder-icon">📷</span>
<span class="we-img-placeholder-text">Image needed — please contribute a photo or diagram for this page.</span>
</div>
It renders as a dashed box with a camera icon, encouraging readers/contributors to upload one. When you (or someone) uploads a real image, just replace the whole block with an <img> or markdown image ().
