This site runs [http://mediawiki.org MediaWiki], which is the same software that [http://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia] runs.▼
▲This site runs [
Here's a list of resources:▼
▲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? why is there ALSO a wiki (server) at [[Electowiki|wiki.electorama.com]]? What does it mean to say "a wiki"? Does this website have an [[Help:FAQ|FAQ]]?
** [[Help:Talk pages]] - specific help on using talk pages on [[electowiki]]
** [[Help:Editing]] - you can edit this website. Please do! Also, you may want to learn about using [[Help:Tildes|tildes]] in articles, or how to make [[Help:Signatures|a fancy signature]].
** "''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). But really, as a beginner, you may not want to leave electowiki.org just yet.
* '''Advanced''' - for people who understand [[wiki]]s, and maybe even [[MediaWiki]] specifically.
** '''[[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!
For other issues, please ask for help by [https://electowiki.org/w/index.php?title=Help_talk:Contents&action=edit§ion=new publicly asking your question using this web form] (for a quicker response) or for a slower response, send mail to <code>admin@electorama.com</code>, or send a message to [[Special:ListUsers/sysop|one of the electowiki administrators]] or [[Special:ListUsers/bureaucrat|one of the electowiki bureaucrats]].
