So... as a Wikivirgin, how does this thing work then?
That's the thing about wikis - they start off as a blank canvas, and you need to add both content and navigation structure.
As reasonable first step might be to create a set of top level categories, and a set of links to articles under each category. A good place for this is the main page. You then start creating those pages.
I'm happy to do that part, if it will make things easier.
Structure
I think we already have a basic structure in the existing FAQ. We might beneficially look at importing that into wiki format before worrying too much about creating new content
Ok, that sounds like a sensible move. I will try to spend some time creating an index this weekend.
Using the + tab to add to a discussion
(Only in these 'discussion' aka 'talk' pages.)
You are prompted for the name of a new section and your contribution is appended to the page.
'Show Preview' only shows your addition, not the context in which it will appear.
