Help on using (building) the wiki

1. To get started really quickly, see Help:Wiki Quicky.
2. REDIRECT name of the target page

3. For help editing, see editing help and the full MediaWiki help index (on the Meta-wiki).
4. For a style guide for writing and organization specific to the OLPC Wiki, see Style guide.
5. See also Category:Help.
6. You may also post questions or comments about this wiki, itself, on its bulletin board.
7. Editing/creating these double {} (= braces or accolade) inserts you notice in many pages. These double accolades makes the software program that generates this wiki, pull content from a "Template page" into your page. The "Template page"'s link is - as you might have guessed - the word(s) between the double accolades. So if you would copy/paste these word(s) behind the root url of your wiki "http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Template:Name_Tempate", then you'll see the template page and that's where you can eventually also make edits to it. The edits will appear automatically on all pages that invoke the template page content or in other wording, that have the double accolades in them.
