Category:Wiki/howto
This category should be used to tag pages on how to edit & maintain the wiki.
- MediaWiki software and extensions: From mw:upgrades to mw:extensions.
- On-wiki special functions: Special:SpecialPages and Special:AdminLinks, find "Logs" and "Change rights", see Special:ListGroupRights for the meaning of the roles.
- MediaWiki conventions or affordances: Wiki/Talk pages, mw:talk, and mw:user pages, mw:User talk pages. Your own user page: Special:MyPage
- Noisebridge-unique, & sensitive: We use permissions to ensure that entirely new members can't make changes to key pages like 86, or sow confusion or advertise by modifying Events.
- We have some carefully created template & category hierarchies in:
Wiki/Extensions to Wiki#Changelog
- Convenient functions, templates, & categories.
