== A <strike>short</strike> guide to formatting text for this wiki ==
It’s not necessary to learn a complex markup language to create good-looking wiki pages. MediaWiki markup is different to DokuWiki markup and both are, of course, different to Markdown. Plain text will work just as well to create useful, informative content; content beats form every time.
=== Things to remember ===
 
# When you're editing use the Preview button. Use it often. The preview button is your friend.
# If all else fails look at someone else’s page for clues.
