== How to edit this Wiki ==
You can start from WikiSandBox, feel free to change this page and experiment with editing
 * Create an account and login.
 * Edit any page by pressing '''[[GetText(Edit)]]''' at the top or the bottom of the page
 * Create a link to another page with joined capitalized words (like WikiSandBox) or with {{{["quoted words in brackets"]}}}
 * See HelpForBeginners to get you going
 * HelpContents for all help pages.
 * SyntaxReference for quick access to wiki syntax		 ### lots of links. To avoid that happening to your link, try to find other

### relevant pages to link to it instead. If such a page doesn't exist,

### create one. For example, if you've written a tip about configuring

### $SOME_PROGRAM in Debian, don't slap a link to it onto the

### front page. Instead, look for a page listing such tips, and add

### your page to it. If such a tips page doesn't exist, create one, and

### move any other tips from the front page to it. Make the wiki better

### organised, not just bigger!

###

### If you'd still like to see your page featured on the front page,

### consider using the SpotLight, below, for this. This can be used to

### let your page show up on the front page, until the next big

### thing comes along.

###

### Thank you for reading this and for contributing to the wiki.
