Introduction to Wiki editing

OpenWetWare uses the MediaWiki system that may be familiar to you from Wikipedia.

First steps:

• Read the Wikipedia How to edit a page topic
• Glance at the Wikipedia Cheatsheet.
• Check out a more complete list of Wikipedia Markup Reference.
• A great way to learn new tricks is to click the edit button on existing OWW Wiki or on Wikipedia pages to see their formatting.
• When testing out Wiki code for the first time, you should edit the Sandbox topic. Feel free to write over whatever is already there.

Remember:

• It's not possible to make any mistakes editing that will cause permanent damage. So, be bold! At the very worst, your changes will be reverted to the previous version of a document.
• Your edits are immediately visible to the entire world. Be professional.
• DO NOT plagiarize or include copyrighted material (such as figures from scientific papers) in your edits.
