# If you are new to the wiki: When creating new pages, try drafting them in your [[Xenharmonic Wiki:Notability guidelines#Main_space_vs._user_space|user space]] first before publishing them — seek feedback from other editors by adding the following line to the bottom of your page:

<pre>{{todo|feedback request}}</pre>

Things to keep in mind:

* '''As best as possible, adhere to [[Xenharmonic Wiki:Notability guidelines]], [[Xenharmonic Wiki: Conventions]] and [[Xenharmonic Wiki: Article guidelines]].'''

* [[Help: Editing]] and [[FAQ]] will help you learn how to use formatting and the wiki software.

* [[Xenharmonic Wiki: Things to do]] and [[Xenharmonic Wiki: Wikifuture]] help you find out what community projects are currently under way.
