 * Is there a way to remove the “Advanced” button/tab? I don’t want my users going
   into the backend unless they are already familiar with WordPress.

 * Also, is there a way to change “Create new” to “Add a Sub Wiki”? As far as I 
   can tell, that button always makes the current wiki the parent of the newly created
   wiki.

 * Hey there strider1551, hope you’re well today!
 * You should be able to remove advanced tab with some custom CSS. Please try adding
   the following CSS code in the style.css file of your [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   or if your theme doesn’t have custom CSS tab add it in your site using the following
   plugin:
 * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css](http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css)
 *     ```
       li.incsub_wiki_link_advanced_edit {
         display: none !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * This should remove the advanced tab, normally I wouldn’t suggest the use of the!
   important declaration. However, it can sometimes be a necessary evil when over-
   writing existing styles. You can find more info on the use of important declaration
   here:
 * [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Specificity#The_!important_exception](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Specificity#The_!important_exception)
 * As for changing Create New since the word is translatable you could use plugin
   translation files to change it to what ever you want. You’ll find more info on
   how to translate plugin here: premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-translate-a-wordpress-
   plugin/
 * Hope this helps 🙂
 * Best regards,
    Bojan

 * Perfect. Thank you so much for the help. It hadn’t occurred to me that there 
   might be a way to hide elements from within css, and I’ve already used translation
   files to change some wording in BuddyPress so that was easy.

 * Hey pandreas,
 * If you’re referring to removing advanced tab the above CSS should work. Where
   are you adding the CSS?
 * Also please post link to your site and keep the CSS added so I can take a look.
 * Cheers,
    Bojan
