Wikis should be easy to edit, so the most text you add or change will appear as you expect it. But you can do more if you want.

This wiki is in [[http://wikiindex.org/Category:OpenEdit|open-edit mode]] (except during phases of spam or vandalism). If you want your name (or nick) to appear in the histories, you should create a wikispaces accout and join this wiki. (see [[How to Get Your Xenwiki Account]])

If you enclose a word in double brackets (like {{``[[word]]``}}), you get a link, hopefully to an already existing page - if not, you just created the opportunity fo your co-authors do add the detais. If you want a text differing from the link target, you can place it after a pipe symbol {{``[[word|different text]]``}}. The same syntax can be used for external links like {{``[[http://en.wikipedia.org|English Wikipedia]]``}} for a link to the [[http://en.wikipedia.org|English Wikipedia]].

The link text should relate to the link target, dont use "here".

Place {{``[[toc]]``}} on top of the page, or - ifyou prefer flat tocs - use {{``[[toc|flat]]``}}

In wikispaces wikis, you can use tags and discussions.

Sometimes you will wait forever for a reply because nobody monitors the page or topic. In this case you should find out who is most familiar with the topic and ask him directly. You can check the history of pages for its authors. Another approach is to ask questions on further media, examples are listed on the page [[GeneralDiscussion]].
