#The most important thing to know is that every change is tracked and easily reverted.  Because of this, you should feel free to edit as much as possible.  One good way to start editing is by looking at the code of any page, like [http://openwetware.mit.edu/index.php?title=Getting_Started_on_OpenWetWare&action=edit this one] (remember to log in).  Click on the [[Help:Contents|help]] link on the navigation bar to your left to get more info on editing options.  You can also look at the history of any page, by clicking on the history tab above.  This will show every edit that every user made.

#The wiki is a great place to put a public lab homepage.  For example, the endy lab webpage ([http://web.mit.edu/endy]) points directly to a page on openwetware.  Information about the lab, such as the [[Endy:Research|research page]], can be posted and edited by everybody in the lab.  The navigation bar, such as the [[Template:EndyLab|one]] on the Endy research page, is useful for traversing through webpages within the site.

#Labs can also uses the wiki for a number of lab internal functions.  In the [[Endy:Back Door|Endy internal site]], they post information on their [[Endy:Lab Meetings|lab meetings]], [[Endy:2005 Summer Retreat|retreats]], [[Endy:Lab Chores|lab chores]], [[Endy:Lab Supplies|ordering]], etc.

#Equipment pages
[[LabName:Talks | <font face="trebuchet ms" style="color:#ffffff"> '''Talks''' </font>]] &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Take a look at some [[Equipment]] pages, in particular the [[Endy:Victor3 plate reader|plate reader]] is a good example.  It includes expected [[Endy:Victor3 plate variation|plate variation]] when reusing plates, and the effect of [[Endy:Victor3 lamp energy|lamp energy]] on S/N levels.

#Protocol pages
Each lab has their own way of doing particular protocols.  Typically a lab will have a list of lab-specific [[Sauer Lab#Protocols|protocols]]
