Tips for getting started on the right footThis is a featured page

If you're brand new to the world of wikis you may be unsure how to start. Here is a quick guide with some tips. None of these are required, but many of them are helpful in creating a sense of wiki community and making the wiki more usable.
  • register - Registering lets people know who edited a page and allows all of your edits to be grouped under your name. This helps you establish a reputation -- this is important on big wikis like Wikipedia, perhaps not as much here -- and lends authority to your entries and edits. If you are registered, people can contact you through your talk page if they have questions about your entries or edits. You can register here


  • annotate - You have the option of adding little notes to your edits in the Add Edit Note box after you save changes to a page. These notes appear when you click on the "complete history" link in the "Last page update" area of the page. This lets people know what was edited and why.

  • links - Feel free to add links to other wikis, web sites or other items of interest. Here's how to make a link.
