The help pages are designed so that users can keep this wiki going and up to date after Tanner Smith leaves for college.

For a more detailed reference, see Wikipedia's guide on editing or Mediawiki's User Manual. The Magic Word Article is quite interesting.

Page Premises

Just to keep things organized and consistent, page beginnings have been created to provide a basis for a general page. They are not templates and should be used as such. They are a place of beginning a new article.

Semantic MedaWiki

This MediaWiki uses a semantic extension called "Semantic MediaWiki" (a.k.a SMW). Basically this allows you to define a phrase or number as a fact and you can later query the wiki from a page and the information will be returned to you. This is primarily used for members, executives, mentors, sponsors, years, and robots.

To learn how to use it, the manual on the SMW site: SMW User Manual

To see all available properties that are currently available, see Special:Properties.

Citations

To add citations, simple add this text to the statement:

<ref>This is what I am using as my source</ref>

And then add this section to the bottom of the page (or where ever you wish to show your references list):

</references>

For more information, see the cite extension manual.
