This guide is meant to help new members become acquainted with editing the Protospace Wiki (this website).
Since the information added to this wiki can be viewed by every member, editing the wiki is an easy way to make a large volunteer contribution.
What is a wiki?
A wiki is a website with a collection of knowledge that can be edited by its users. In our case, the Protospace Wiki can only be edited by logged-in Protospace members.
Our wiki is powered by MediaWiki software, the same software that runs Wikipedia.
