Editing a Page

There is a SandBox for you to get started in. Go there and fool around and see if you get the hang of editing a page.

Editing a page is really very simple. To mark something as a heading, use a number of equal signs.

=== Heading ===

Looks like:

Heading

The wiki will generate a table of contents based on headings, so make sure you use them and use them well. Start with a depth of 2, i.e. == First Heading == and then put 3 for the next section that's inside this one. It will generate a table of contents like this:

1.1 Section 1.1.1 Subsection 1.2 Section

Each equal sign used in the heading adds another digit, essentially. If that doesn't make sense, experiment on the SandBox with it.

Use the apostrophe to emphasize stuff.

I ''like'' Chinese food. I '''love''' Thai food. I ''''''prefer'''''' Texan food. I like Chinese food. I love Thai food. I 'prefer' Texan food.

For more advanced stuff, please Read the Fine Manual.

Problems with Users

You should take problems with users to their talk pages first, secondly to the forums. If a user is just plain being abusive, you can email the administrator, but your best bet is to go to the forums.

The administrator of this wiki is mostly Lucifer, because it's on his server. But other moderators will be created as needed, and if you just need to get his attention, you'll have the best luck on the forums (until I figure out how to set up emailing from the wiki, that is).
