====== Wiki Help Page ======

To get started, review some of the help links below, especially the first one ([[wiki:syntax|Syntax for Editing]]). It will tell you how to format content in the wiki when editing pages. The formatting toolbar above the text editing window will also assist you in formatting.

<note tip>If you'd like to play around or test something before editing an existing page, please use the [[Playground:playground|Playground]] to do so. It is also always accessible via the left navigation menu.</note>

If you make any mistakes while editing pages in the wiki (e.g. accidentally deleted a block of text and saved the page), remember that wikis have very powerful revision control features. Clicking on the **old revisions** tab at the top of the page will allow you to view and restore any previous version of the page.\\ \\ 

When creating (or visiting) a link to a new page that doesn't exist, you will have the opportunity to create the page by clicking on the **create this page** tab at the top. You can also click on the **discussion** tab to make any notes or comments about a particular page or article in the wiki, so that the main page doesn't become cluttered.\\ \\
