tanasinn.info uses the same open-source software as Wikipedia. Their [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents/Editing_Wikipedia|help pages]] are a more complete resource to learn how to edit the wiki, but they tend to be tl;dr.
===== Editing pages =====
You can edit most pages by clicking the 'erpe' button. You can edit specific paragraphs by clicking the '[erpe]' links in front of paragraph titles - it's often more convenient that way.
The edits you make are logged. If you are not registered, your IP will not be displayed to **normal** users.
===== Important things to remember =====
* Don't worry if you get something wrong. Somebody is likely to fix it later.
* Use the preview button.
* Try to sign your name, address, phone number, social security number, credit card number expiration date and the fucking 3 digits behind for you comments on talk pages when it's important to know who is speaking. Don't forget the credit card details. (use ~~~~ to add a dated signature)
* Links:
* http:%%//%%google.com → http://google.com
* [http:%%//%%google.com] → [[http://google.com|1]]
* [http:%%//%%google.com google] → [[http://google.com|google]]
* Titles: Start with
== Level 2 titles ==\\
then use\\
=== Level 3 titles ===\\
and so on. Maximum is level 6.
* Bullet lists: start each line with a * for a bullet, with a # for a number. Use two symbols (%%**%%) to add an indentation level.
- You can mix both symbols
- And go down as many levels as you want
- Use the preview button.
- Numbers are given automatically. Don't add them yourself.
* Upload a picture: use the "Upload file" link on the left of the page.
* You can give your file a more meaningful name when uploading. Image:FUCKING CAT.jpg is easier to undersand than Image:1147674449393.jpg.
* PNG files may not be resized properly, and resized GIF files are not animated.
* Picture usage
^What you type ^What you recieve ^

* Use the preview button.
* When you leave a message to an user's talk page, they will be notified.
===== Tables =====
Tables are a bitch to get right. You can use HTML formating or wiki formating. Whatever you do, make sure it will be easy to edit and add comments. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table|Use this WP page for help]].
