Help:Editing Experience
As of June, 2006, the Registry has been integrated with a wiki. This allows users to more easily annotate parts they create or the parts they use. This page describes how to do the latter, ie. to add user experience information to a part that already exists in the registry.
The BioBrick part T1000 is a nonsense part created by Randy Rettberg that we will use for example purposes (see screenshot left). The editing process is identical for any other BioBrick, however.
To see user experience information entered on this part, one would need to click the Experience link in the pink navigation box on the left hand side of the screen.
If no user experience has been reported, one would expect to see a page similar to the screenshot above. (Don't worry if there is experience already added. The steps are still the same to add more.) To add experience, click on the Edit button, circled in red.
An edit window with wiki code will appear. At first glance, the code seems very complex, but it is actually very straightforward. There are four parts to the this code:
- The No part name specified with partinfo tag.
