Ofcourse, just plain text doesn't make for very useful and readable wiki pages. The next part of this guide describes the wiki markup language.

== Editing a page ==

For a full description of the various tags, see the [[Help:Editing]] page.

To edit any page, go to that page and click the 'edit' tab at the top of the page.

For a full description of the various tags, see the [[Help:Editing]] page. We'll discuss the most important ones here.

=== Wiki syntax ===

=== Proper categorization ===

It is important we categorize our articles properly. This allows our [[Wiki Structure|category pages]] to automatically list all articles in their category, which makes it easy for people to see the collection of articles in the same category.

Categories should be used as collection mechanic instead of custom made pages where we have to manually add links to new articles.

You can add a category to an article by adding <nowiki>[[Category:</nowiki>'''CategoryName'''<nowiki>]]</nowiki> anywhere in the article (categories are usually listed either at the start or end of an article). CategoryName should obviously be replaced with the name of the category. For an example, see the source of this article and note that it includes <nowiki>[[Category:Guides]]</nowiki>.

If you wish to link to a category page, use the following syntax: <nowiki>[[:Category:CategoryName]]</nowiki> (note the first ':'). Example: [[:Category:Guides|Guides]] (<nowiki>[[:Category:Guides|Guides]]</nowiki).

=== Discussion ===

If you feel a certain page requires discussion, each page comes with it's own discussion page. This is really just a regular wiki page, so adding comments to it works exactly the same way as adding to any other wiki artcile.
