Possibilities to contribute

The use of comments box

At the bottom of each article page, you will find a common comment-box, where you can write your opinion or idea connected with the article
The comment-box automatically inserts your user-name and a time-stamp
Commenting is also allowed for guests
To add a comment box to your article, just insert (:commentdb:) at the end of the text in the edit window

The discussion page

At the bottom of most articles, you will find a link to a page dedicated to discussion of the article
Click on this to post your view on the article or to read other user's opinions
To add a similar discussion page to your article, insert [[YourArticlesName-talk]] at the end of your article

in a wiki, each page can be edited using a simple word processor. You can access the word processor by clicking on the "Edit" button above the article.
the text you type in the editor box appears as you type it in. By using special characters, you can format your text and, by using special commands, special features can be accessed. The possibilities are limitless, all you need is a minimum of two basic features to format the text typed in.
- Different levels of heading to split your text in sections: if you put a "!" at the beginning of a row, that row becomes a heading (larger font). If you put two exclamation marks, it becomes a sub-heading. Three will create a sub-sub-heading
  - Producing lists: if a row starts with "*" (asterisk) it becomes a part of a bulletpoint list. "#" will place it in a numbered list. If you put two or three asterisks (**, *** resp. ##, ###) then sub-lists will appear
below the edit box (the blue area that appears after you press the “Edit” button on a page) you will find a brief reminder on the use of different special characters.
