User creating and setting
You can create a user account. It is recommended to set the timezone.
There are many reasons to create an account; For example your name is visible to everybody in the editation history. It is also possible to have some personal settings like skin, language, etc...
Note: You need an account if you want to edit or create any pages.
You can create a user account by clicking the text "Create an account or log in" in the top right corner of the browser.
Once you create an account, you should consider using the template {{contributions|UserName}} on your page (accessible by clicking on your account name). This way several standard items will be placed on your Wiki user page automatically. (You can see this used on many user pages, e.g. User:Suma).
Create a new page
New page is created by creating a new link to it. Link is a page name enclosed in double square brackets:
[[a page name]]
Sections
You can split page into several sections with titles using triple equals signs:
===a page section===
... and subsections with quadruple equals:
====Subsection====
=====Subsubsection=====
You can edit individual sections instead of whole page. When there are many sections, wiki will create small table of contents on top of the page with links to the sections. Editing single sections helps prevent conflicts when two users edit the same page.
Examples
To format text as an example in a box, indent it with single space on the beginning:
Example of an example. Very simple.
Lists
Individual list entries start with an asterisk:
* List entry
Looks like this:
- List entry
Categories
To put an article in a category, place a link like in the example below anywhere in the article.
[[Category:Projects]]
