You should be aware that your IP address is logged and publicly viewable when you edit a page (even if you are logged in).

If you edit a page and decide to abandon your edit, please click the "cancel" button above the edit window. This will clear out the edit warning lock others will get while you edit a page. To see the history of all edits made to a page, click on the "info" link on the top.

== Some first help on wiki editing ==

Basic help about editing the wiki is shown below the edit window when you edit any page. The most important wiki editing help pages are HelpOnEditing, SyntaxReference and WikiStyleGuide.

Links to other wiki pages can be created like this:

{{{
[[ChangeSet|this is a link to the page ChangeSet]]
}}}

which looks like this: [[ChangeSet|this is a link to the page ChangeSet]]. You can omit the link text:

{{{
[[ChangeSet]]
}}}

which makes the link look like this: [[ChangeSet]] (the link text is the page name if it is omitted).

So the syntax is:

{{{
[[PageName|text to show for link]]
}}}

Words in camel case (like this: {{{CamelCase}}}) are linked too (CamelCase) without using the {{{[[..]]}}}. If you don't want a camel cased word to be linked put a {{{!}}} in front of it: !CamelCase.

The easiest way to create a new page is to first insert a link to that new page on an existing page, then click the link and you will get a list of templates for new pages.

Note: as a convention, we don't use spaces in page names on this wiki.

To search for a page, go to [[FindPage]]. You can also start a new page by entering the name of the new page in the "Go To Page" input field on the bottom of !FindPage.

Test edits can be made in the [[WikiSandBox]].

== Translating pages ==
If you create translations, please add the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes|iso-639-1 language code]] on top of the page (see [[HelpOnLanguages]]). For example, on a page written in Italian add
{{{
#language it
}}}
on the first line of the wiki text of the page.
