; __How do I edit a page?__ : Click the Edit button at the bottom of any page.  If this is your first time on the Wiki, sign in with your RealName (there are no passwords, email confirmation or anything!), and change the text.

; __What can I wiki?__ : Within reason, anything.  Although we'd like to think that your idea of 'within reason' was the same as ours, please remember that the [WLUG] is an IncorporatedSociety under NewZealand law, and potentially responsible for what you say.  Please read the AcceptableUsePolicy if there is any doubt.

; __What if I don't agree with the content?__ : Edit the page.  Add your opinion, rather than deleting someone else's.

; __How do I create a new page?__ : Within a related page, think of a decent (multi word) title, capitalize all the words and !MashTheWordsTogether, like so.  That will create a link that appears like MashTheWordsTogether, which you can then click on the '?' for, and define.  (While you can create new pages by editing the URLs, OrphanedPages are not a good thing in a wiki.)

; __How do I post text verbatim (i.e. tell the Wiki to ignore formatting commands for the whole document)?__ : Put a single space indent on every line.
 sed 's/^/ /' <file.orig >file.preformated.for.wiki

; __Why am I getting links appearing in my data?__ : Check you don't have [[ and ] characters in your page: these will create links to other pages.  Replace every [ with [[[.

; __How do you create a question/answer style block like this page?__ : [View how it's done!|phpwiki:WikiFaq?action=edit]

; __How do I edit the box on the right hand side of the page?__ : Go to the SideBar page.
