Welcome to our tutorial, an instruction manual for using a wiki.

Basic Guidelines

Before you begin editing the wiki there are a few basic principles you should know:

  • Follow the Wiki Rules at all times.
  • Try to avoid unnecessary edits.
  • Be friendly! The wiki is a community project and moderators and other users do not appreciate abuse.

Account

Before you can create and edit pages as well as taking part in discussions, you must login with a wiki account. To create an account:

  • Click the log in / create account button in the top right of the page. On the login page click "create an account".
  • Enter your desired username and password, then re-enter your password into the password confirmation box. It is a good idea to enter your e-mail so we can restore your account if you forget your password. You may opt to provide your real name, which will be used credit you for your contributions.
  • If your chosen username is already taken or your entered passwords do not match you will receive an error message. Otherwise you should receive a "registration successful" message and automatically log into your new account.

Unless you ask to save your account details, you will need to log in every time you return to the wiki. To log in:

  • Click the log in / create account button in the top right of the page.
  • Enter your username and password, then press the login button.
  • If your username and password do not match, or in the rare circumstance your account has been banned, you will receive an error. Otherwise you will be logged in and redirected back to the page you were last viewing.

Once you are logged in you will see new buttons along the bar on the top right. These are:

  • Your Profile, where you can fill out any personal text of your choosing.
  • My Talk, similar to a "visitor messages" system.
  • My Preferences, user options of the wiki.
  • My Watchlist, a list of pages you have chosen to monitor for changes.
  • My Contributions, a list of all changes you have made to the wiki.
  • Log out, sign out of the wiki.
