Help:Contents: Difference between revisions

(why is there ALSO a wiki (server) at wiki.electorama.com? What does it mean to say "a wiki"? Does this website have an FAQ? Also, you may want to see Help:Tildes about using them in articles, or see Help:Signatures to learn how they make fancy sigs over on English Wikipedia.)

This site runs [[MediaWiki]], which is the same software that [[Wikipedia]] runs.
Line 12:
** '''[[The electowiki handbook]]''' - this is a handbook specific to [[electowiki]]. Much of it was written as we were settling into using this [[Miraheze]]-hosted copy of the old [[Electorama wiki]]
** The MediaWiki Handbook ([[mw:Help:Contents]]) - This is the official reference for [[MediaWiki]]. A lot of the information in this handbook is for system administrators and [[PHP]] developers that may be working on the code for one of many [[MediaWiki]] extensions. Many readers may prefer to learn [[Lua]] before learning [[PHP]], so this link may not be useful to them, either.
** [[Project:Administrator]] - see also [[Special:ListUsers/sysop]]
** '''Project:Bureaucrat''' - see also [[Special:ListUsers/bureaucrat]]
** '''Help:Special pages''' - see also [[Special:SpecialPages]]
* '''History'''
** '''[[Electowiki:About]]''' - to learn more about electowiki, and its long road to the site you see today. Many of the weird little instructions and incomplete bits are due to the history of the website. [[Electowiki]] was born in 2005; it's a teenager already!
