Most pages on this wiki can be edited by registered users. All edits are stored in a page's version history, so in the best case nothing gets lost. A wiki lives from its users.

It is important to link the pages of a Wiki to one another. In a new Wiki this seems counter intuitive, but it is common practice to add links to pages that *should* exist, even if they do not. You might ask yourself: What should I link to, if the regarding pages do not even exist yet? The answer: you can link to them any ways. Simply add a link via the link icon in the editor menu above your page. You can link to any non-existing page, and it will be automatically added to the list of "[[Special:WantedPages|wanted pages]]". You may check out this list (also on the [https://www.wikipedia.org real Wikipedia]!) and add a page if you feel comfortable. | |||
