Here are a few simple tips for editing the wiki.
Feel free to add more.

The biggest tip: Click "edit" at the top of the page. Reading the code of this and other pages will give you a lot of great tips.

Cannot edit?
If you don't see an "edit" button at the top of the page and instead you see "view source", there are several possibilities:
- You don't have a user account on this wiki. Only registered users can edit pages. Click here to register - it is very easy and quick.
- You have been blocked from editing. This wiki is heavily spammed (who isn't?) so an over-cautios sysop may have blocked you. If you think that you were blocked by mistake, please accept our apologies and leave a message at the Sysops' message board.
- The page may be protected from being edited. To remedy this, see no. 2.
Adding a link to another page in this wiki
- Simple link:
[[Main Page]]
→ Main Page
- Using a different text as a link - notice the | character:
[[Main Page|Take a look at out lovely main page!]]
→ Take a look at out lovely main page!
N.B.: Page names are case sensitive.
Adding a link to a web page
- Very simple link, not so nice:
[http://www.wall.org/]
→ [1]
- Giving a name to a link, notice the space after the URL:
[http://www.wall.org/ Larry Wall's homepage]
→ Larry Wall's homepage
- Linking an email address - just like `http://'</code>, but with `mailto:':
[mailto:frodo@shire.eriador.gov Frodo Baggins' email]
→ Frodo Baggins' email
