Line 2:
This site runs [[MediaWiki]], which is the same software that [[Wikipedia]] runs.
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? 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. Did you know that?
Line 16 ⟶ 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.
* '''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!
