Some notes on using the wiki:
 +
 +
* To add new pages to the wiki, simply modify the URL to add a new title.  For example, a new page titled "Test" will be created if you use the URL format below:
 +
** http://www.maggietron.com/questwiki/index.php/Test
 +
From here, you can click on "Edit" and add whatever text you want to the page.
 +
 +
* Deleting pages can only be done by the administrator.  As a general rule, deleting pages is not recommended.  Instead, deprecating pages is recommended; if you no longer wish to use a page, please say so in the page and direct other users the pertinent information.
 +

* Creating a user account is recommended as you'll be able to set preferences to see the correct time for your time zone and be able to manipulate other nifty settings.

This wiki is the same wiki as used by the Wikipedia. Please refer to Wikipedia's Help Page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents for information on how to edit pages in a wiki, markup information, etc.

But here's some notes anyway:

I'm mentioning this because since we can track how much people write, we could maybe use it to goad Halifax into giving us more glorious XP.

  • Deleting pages can only be done by the administrator. As a general rule, deleting pages is not recommended. Instead, deprecating pages is recommended; if you no longer wish to use a page, please say so in the page and direct other users the pertinent information.
  • Creating a user account is recommended as you'll be able to set preferences to see the correct time for your time zone and be able to manipulate other nifty settings.
