Help:Contents

Welcome to Mistipedia's Help Page

We know this can all be a little intimidating, learning a whole new interface and formatting language. It is to all of us, but we can take it one step at a time and learn together. If all else fails and you can't figure something out, google "mediawiki" and whatever you're trying to do, and hopefully somewhere out there are instructions.

• To edit an existing page, simply click on the "edit" tab at the top of that page.

Section headings A Table of Contents will automatically be generated when four headings are added to an article, unless you include the magic word __NOTOC__ in the article.
