| #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 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.
| | [[LabName:Contact | <font face="trebuchet ms" style="color:#ffffff"> '''Contact''' </font>]] |
| #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.
| | [[LabName:Back Door | <font face="trebuchet ms" style="color:#ffffff"> '''Internal''' </font>]] |
| #Sharing the same wiki between multiple labs enables community pages, such as those listed in the Shared Technical Resources section of the [[Main Page]]. Check out the [[Equipment|equipment]] and [[Protocols|protocols]].
| | [[LabName:Lab Members | <font face="trebuchet ms" style="color:#ffffff"> '''Lab Members''' </font>]] |
| #*In particular, the [[Endy:Victor3 plate reader|plate reader]] is a good example. It includes useful information about [[Endy:Victor3 plate variation|plate variation]], [[Endy:Victor3 lamp energy|lamp energy]], and [[Endy:Victor3 absorbance labels|absorbance levels]].
| | [[LabName:Publications | <font face="trebuchet ms" style="color:#ffffff"> '''Publications''' </font>]] |
| #*Each lab has their own way of doing particular protocols. Typically a lab will have a list of lab-specific [[Sauer Lab#Protocols|protocols]]. However, we are also collecting protocols from multiple labs in the shared [[Protocols|protocols]] area. A good example is [[DNA Ligation]] which provides links to the [[Endy:DNA ligation using T4 DNA ligase|Endy]] and [[Knight:DNA ligation using NEB Quick Ligation Kit|Knight]] lab protocols.
