If you don't know how to format your text: start each line without spaces separate paragraphs with a blank line You can produce better hypertext by using WikiWords (concatenated capitalized words): WikiWords will be shown as hyperlinks WikiWords are especially useful if they are meaningful and used uniformly across the whole site The 'WikiWord' is WikiWord hyperlink by itself. Follow it to learn more :) For external site links, you can type URLs directly into the text - =http://etcete.ra/...= - it'll clear to anyone where they're headed on click. If a discussion is going on: separate each follow-up with a space add your WikiName and the date at the end OR, by all means, insert your comment where it seems to fit best: you may want to inset it with a bullet and/or set it in italics so it's clear (always sign and date) if a sub-topic develops, separate it with a horizontal rule at beginning and end To start a new discussion: start with a brief, factual introduction, followed by double horizontal rules let the discussion begin When a discussion is complete, boil down the key points: reduce the noise move offtopic facts to appropriate pages if you merge or delete comments, group credit =Contributors:= at the end of the page Please, avoid typing dates in national formats. Please use either an standard date format like 01 Sep 2001 or ISO (2001-09-01 or 2001-Sep-01). Please, avoid words like 'next version' or 'year ago' whenever possible, even if it seems to you that the reader will know the context. 'Absolute' references are much better than 'relative'.
