Help pages written specifically for ESP Wiki

General Mediawiki help

This site uses MediaWiki. The following are some pointers to their documentation.

For help on using this Wiki see An introduction to MediaWiki or Help:Reader.

For help on editing pages see Help:Editor, especially the section with Wiki markup examples.

If you're interested in sustaining this project, see the Site support page.

Conventions different from Wikipedia's

For editors, ESP Wiki generally tries to use the same structure, names, and conventions that are used for editing en.wikipedia.org. A few differences exist:

  • Where Wikipedia has "See also" sections, we have "Related pages on ESP Wiki" sections. We originally used the name "See also", but people were adding external links there, so we changed to a clearer name.
  • Where Wikipedia has a set of tags such as <ref> {{fact}} and [citation needed], we use "references" for all those things: <ref> {{ref}} [reference needed]. When writing the documentation, this seemed more logical.
