== Tables ==

Tables are covered in a separate page: [[Help:Tables]]

== nowiki ==

Use <nowiki><nowiki></nowiki> to insert text that is not parsed by the wiki, e.g.,

:<nowiki>==Heading 4==</nowiki>

will result in <nowiki>==Heading 4==</nowiki>, rather than the creation of an actual heading, '''Heading 4'''

== Categories ==

An important navigational tool in the wiki is the use of [[Special:Categories|categories]]. It is customary to include one or more category tags to the end of a page to indicate in what topical area the page belongs. For example, this page should be listed under the <nowiki>[[Category:General public]]</nowiki> and <nowiki>[[Category:HowTo]]</nowiki> categories. You can create a new category, if really necessary, simply by including a new category tag, e.g., <nowiki>[[Category:My new category]]</nowiki>.

== Templates ==

Another tool that helps make the wiki more readily navigable is the use of templates (Please select the Template namespace in the pull-down menu on the [[Special:Allpages]] page to view the current list of available templates). Templates provide a consistent look to pages as well as a shorthand for communicating things like <nowiki>{{Stub}}</nowiki> and <nowiki>{{Requesttranslation}}</nowiki>. Feel free to ask for help ([[Help_talk:Formatting|here]]) regarding creating new templates you may need.

== Translation ==

We have a mechanism for maintaining multilingual versions of pages in the wiki. Please see [[TranslationTeam]] for more information about translations. We also recommend the use of the Google machine translation for pages that have yet to be translated by a human expert. To use the Google translation, simply include the following at the top of your page:

<nowiki><noinclude>{{ GoogleTrans-en | es =show | bg =show | zh-CN =show | zh-TW =show | hr =show | cs =show | da =show | nl =show | fi =show | fr =show | de =show | el =show | hi =show | it =show | ja =show | ko =show | no =show | pl =show | pt =show | ro =show | ru =show | sv =show }}</noinclude></nowiki>
