We welcome all contributors and assume good faith for all edits made, so there are very few protected pages. Wiki Administrators do however patrol changelogs to correct small errors and combat intentional misinforming edits, so please be mindful and be ready to explain your edits if it raises a red flag. The best way to prevent misunderstandings is adding proper summaries for all your edits. Once you've received your account, don't be afraid to jump in and start correcting and adding to pages.

===[[Wikicode]]===
<br />
Wikicode is the syntax used by all Wikipedias, including this one. It is not hard to pick up: Don't hesitate to read [[Wikicode|our internal guide]] or the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup wikipedias official article]. It is not necessary and optional, after this Wikipedia recently got an easy structure builder.


===Structure Builder===
It is not hard to pick up: Don't hesitate to read [[Wikicode|our internal guide]] or the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup wikipedias official article]. Wikicode became unnecessary and deleted, after this Wikipedia recently got an easy structure builder.
'''This wiki has now a structure builder for easier editing, and you pretty much make your contributions without any wikicode!'''


<nowiki>***</nowiki>This wiki has now a structure builder for easier editing, and you pretty much don't need this wikicode. You can **still** use it though:***


{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" width="800"
Structuring is what salt is for food. Of course you can cook without salt, but well-prepared foods and texts are clearly more enjoyable. Instead of having a page be a long meandering paragraph, Structure Builder allows information to be broken up and changed in appearance for greater clarity, such as the section headings shown in this guide.

Wikicode is what salt is for food. Of course you can cook without salt, but well-prepared foods and texts are clearly more enjoyable. Instead of having a page be a long meandering paragraph, Wikicode and structure builder allows information to be broken up and changed in appearance for greater clarity, such as the section headings shown in this guide.
You really don't have to deal anymore with wikicode, since you can use the wiki-structure builder that appears at the top when editing. If you need to go or you are lazy to finish the page, you can always write something like <code>TODO - NEEDS FORMATTING</code> in your edit-summary to make it easier to detect.
