Relevant Wikipedia Help Pages
NOTE: PESWiki is a different website than Wikipedia, though we both use the same Mediawiki open source program. Be sure to bookmark this site so you can come back after reading the instruction pages found at Wikipedia.
- Wikipedia:How_does_one_edit_a_page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_does_one_edit_a_page) - includes all the codes for formatting as you wish.
- Wikipedia: How_to_start_a_page (http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_start_a_page)
- Upload - images, etc.; If a file with the name you are specifying already exists on the wiki, it'll be replaced without warning. So unless you mean to update a file, it's a good idea to first check if such a file exists.
- Wikipedia:Naming_conventions (http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions)
- Wikipedia:Policies_and_guidelines (http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Policies_and_guidelines) - one significant departure in PESWiki from Wikipedia is that there are many departments in PESWiki that are non-encyclopedia. These policies, therefore, are mainly in reference to PowerPedia, though there is some carry over to the other departments.
