General

The basic form of navigating through the pages of a wiki, is to follow the page links. While navigating you have the choice to open the next page in the current tabbed page or in a new tabbed page.
To close a tabbed page, right click the tab and select "Close tab" from the context menu. To move between tabbed pages, click the desired tab with the mouse or press Ctrl-Tab [1].
