Every page has a history tab. Click it to see the editing history of the page, which also shows the signature of the user that made the changes or edits. Every page has a discussion tab as well, where users can make comments or talk back and forth about a page. When you write on a discussion page you should sign your entries.

If you're going to edit the wiki, it would be nice if you would add yourself to the Wiki User List. Your entry in the list can link to your user page where you can write a bit about yourself. If you edit the wiki a lot, you may establish a reputation, and users may like to know who you are.

Guidelines for Use of the Wiki

Categories in the Wiki

Click here to see the list of all categories in the wiki: Wiki Categories. Categories are a tool for organizing the content of the wiki into groupings. A category is simply a group of articles with a "category tag" in common. Or said another way, you don't "put" an article in a category, you put a "category tag" into an article. This then makes the article findable by listing it under that category.

Every category also has a "category page". This is a page with an introductory note explaining what the category is about, and it also automatically generates an alphabetical list of article titles that are in the category (by virtue of containing the category tag). If you want to add a new category to the wiki, just add the tag for the new category at the end of the article. The link to the new category page will be in red, indicating that it does not exist yet. Click the link to actually create the category page. The new category page automatically includes an alphabetical list, by title, of all articles in the category (containing that category tag). Please check the list of categories before adding a new one, to see if there is already a category there that covers the content. Please consider new category names carefully as it is a non-trivial matter to rename a category.
