Clarificatory opening paragraphs. Shifted some historical info to a new 'History' section--this is apparently one of the pages linked by Eve Academy, so my thinking is that the beginning should be as clear as possible. |
I hope this one-paragraph addition makes sense. The Academy link means new players are likely to land on this page, so I figure a couple of important bits of advice ought to appear early. Do revert if you judge otherwise! |

Wormholes can be found by scanning down [[cosmic signatures]]. Once a wormhole is probed down, it can be warped to and jumped through much like a stargate, though unlike gates they must be warped to and then jumped through as a two-step process. | Wormholes can be found by scanning down [[cosmic signatures]].

Refer to the [[Probe scanning]] and [[Exploration]] guides if you want to learn about finding wormholes. | |||
'''IMPORTANT NEW PLAYER TIP:''' If you've found a wormhole, by all means see what's on the other side if you're curious, but use a cheap ship you can afford to lose, and also a [[Jump clones|clone]] you can afford to lose. Make sure the ship you use has core probes and a probe launcher fitted on it. When you pass through the wormhole, immediately '''right-click and bookmark your entry wormhole''' before doing anything else. The game does not automatically record your entrance's location, and if you warp away without bookmarking it, you will have to probe your entrance down. If the worst comes to the worst and you find yourself stranded in wormhole space with no probes, you can try contacting [https://evescoutrescue.com/home/ Eve-Scout Rescue], who might be able to help. | |||

Wormholes lead to many different places | Wormholes lead to many different places: some connect W-Space to mapped New Eden systems (henceforth referred to as [[System_Security#Known_Space|Known Space]] or K-Space), others connect from K-Space to W-Space, yet others connect W-Space to other W-Space systems, and some wormholes connect K-Space to K-Space. Wormholes forming within W-Space provide the sole method for inter-system travel for residents of the wormhole. There are no stargates in W-Space. | ||
'''Known Space to Known Space Wormholes''' are used to quickly travel throughout New Eden, they're also used to access high-sec or low-sec islands without risk of travelling through potentially dangerous space. They're commonly named for the sec status on both ends. High-to-high (H2H), low-to-null (L2N), null-to-high (N2H), etc. | '''Known Space to Known Space Wormholes''' are used to quickly travel throughout New Eden, they're also used to access high-sec or low-sec islands without risk of travelling through potentially dangerous space.
