Wiki quick start

Before editing pages, it is recommend you create an account using the Log In / Create Account link in the upper right. You should also confirm your email (by following the instructions sent to you after submitting your email address) to enable notifications. Your email address and other information are kept private by the software.

The whole idea of Wikis is anyone with knowledge can jump in to create topics, links, add to information, ask questions, etc.

You can edit any page by clicking the edit link. An Editing help link is at the bottom of the editing form. It is important to edit page sections when available (a right side edit link), this lets other people edit other sections of the page while you work (there is no way to reconcile two people submitting concurrent edits of a page). It is a best practise to enter an edit summary to give a general idea of what you did, or click "minor edit"

After submitting a page, a simple math question is asked to discourage spam. You must submit a correct answer before your changes will be saved.

For experimenting with page editing, create and edit pages from the Sandbox.

The Discussion link should be used to organize information about a page, comment on changes, and so on. The Discussion link can be as important as the main topic page itself.

Always try to find the most appropriate place to create your page, and link to it from anywhere appropriate. Since Wikis have very free from structures, occasional "Wiki gardening" is inevitable.

To stay on top of the Wiki, subscribe to particular pages, and if you use a syndication summary page, add this link.
