Contents
How do I find a list of all the FAQs?
Go to the Category:FAQ page.
How do I update the wiki?
The wiki works by making pretty much any wiki page editable by any registered user. On any wiki page, you should see an Edit tab in the upper-right corner of the page, next to the Read tab. If you click the Edit tab on a wiki page, you will be able to edit a wiki page.
How do I turn a bullet list into a collapsible list?
You can use the Template:Hidden begin and Template:Hidden end to surround the list, and it will be hidden by default with a 'show' link to show it. Unfortunately, such hidden content cannot be text-searched on the page, which may make important content hard to find.
How do I make a table of contents?
Add more than three section headers. With more than three section headers, the wiki will automatically insert a table of contents.
What if my question is not answered here?
Edit this page and add your question. It will be answered in due time by someone monitoring this page. If this does not come to pass, contact the Help Desk.
How do I respond directly to messages on my user talk page?
You can respond directly to a message in a couple different ways.
- If you have a reasonable expectation that the person will come back to your user talk page, then you can just respond directly on your user talk page.
- It is suggested to add your signature to each threaded comment you make, though, so it's easier to read who said what. You do that by either typing ~~~~, or by clicking the Signature button in the wiki editor.
- If you don't expect the person to come back to your user talk page in a reasonable amount of time, then you should reply on their user talk page, which is the Discussion tab on their user page.
