Contest pages

A contest page is custom content attached to one contest — the rules, the marking scheme, hardware notes, who to find if the machine breaks. You write them on the contest's Pages tab, and the path you give a page is what decides where it appears. Nothing in the form says so, and a page filed under any other path is saved and then never shown to anyone.

Contest pages need permission to read and write content, not contests. That is a different permission from everything else on a contest, so someone who can run the contest may still not see this tab; see Why a section is missing.

Where a page appears

Path

Where it is shown

/overview

The body of the contest's public landing page. Without it, the landing page shows the contest facts alone

/overview/<name>

An extra tab on the public landing page, beside Overview and Scoreboard

/pages/<name>

An entry in the sidebar of the contest interface, where participants see it while they compete

The two prefixes serve different moments. /overview and /overview/* are public and readable before the contest starts and after it ends — the format, the eligibility rules, the schedule, the prize list. /pages/* sits inside the contest interface next to the problems, which is where the rules of the room and the jury's contact details are actually needed.

Replace <name> with whatever you like: /overview/rules, /pages/hardware. The name becomes the tab or sidebar label's address, so keep it short and lower-case.

Add a page

  1. Open the contest and go to Pages.

  2. Click Add page.

  3. Fill in the title, the path/overview, or something starting with /overview/ or /pages/ — and the content. The editor previews as you write; see Markdown for the formatting.

  4. Save. You are returned to the list.

Edit reopens the same editor on an existing page, and Delete removes it.

The list shows title and path, with language available as a hidden column, and can be filtered by ID, path and label.

Languages

A page can carry a version per language, and participants get the one matching theirs. A contest run in two languages therefore wants both versions of every page that matters, written on the same page rather than as two separate paths.

Not to be confused with the space's pages

The space has its own Pages section, under Content, for pages on the space's website. It is a different list with a different scope: pages created there are not attached to this contest, and pages created here appear nowhere but this contest. If a page you wrote is not showing on the contest, check that you wrote it in the contest's Pages tab and not the space's — see Pages.
