:''main: [[Help]]''
Electowiki runs on the [[MediaWiki]] engine, just like Wikipedia and many other wikis[[wiki]]s, so for help with basic markup and editing, you can consult existing pages on those topics:
 
* [[Mw:Help:Contents|MediaWiki help contents]]
Line 28 ⟶ 29:
Best practices for formatting articles generally follow the same rules as [[W:Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Wikipedia's Manual of style]]. This covers the rules for bolding key words in article intros, using sentence case for article titles and headings, using written-out titles instead of abbreviations, which order to put article sections, etc. We may make our own amendments to this if necessary, though.
 
See '''[[Help]]''' for more about editing a wiki, or for specific information about [[MediaWiki]].
The rest of this page is for help with Electowiki-specific features (or lack thereof).
