This site runs MediaWiki, which is the same software that Wikipedia runs.

Here's a list of electowiki specific resources:

- Electowiki:About - to learn more about electowiki, and its long road to the site you see today.

Here's a list of helpful resources:

Beginner - for people that just want to know about electoral systems
- Help:About - what is electowiki? How is it different that Wikipedia?
- Help:Talk pages - specific help on using talk pages on electowiki
- Help:Editing - you can edit this website. Did you know that?
- "Introduction to Wikipedia": (wikipedia:Introduction) - If you are unfamiliar with the wiki concept, this is a very good primer on the subject. But be careful; The "Introduction to Wikipedia" is on Wikipedia. This site (electowiki) is not affiliated with Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation (the non-profit that operates Wikipedia).
Advanced - for people who understand wikis, and maybe even MediaWiki specifically
- electowiki:Help specific to Electowiki - this is a handbook specific to electowiki.
- The MediaWiki Handbook (mw:Help:Contents) - This is the official reference for MediaWiki. But really, as a beginner, you may not want to leave electowiki.org just yet

For other issues, please ask for help by publicly asking your question using this web form (for a quicker response) or for a slower response, send mail to admin@electorama.com.
