	Remember that if you're using templates such as <nowiki>{{templatenamehere}}</nowiki>, a lot of them will not work unless the template has been copied over to here in the Template namespace. Bear that in mind if something doesn't work properly :)		Remember that if you're using templates such as <nowiki>{{templatenamehere}}</nowiki>, a lot of them will not work unless the template has been copied over to here in the Template namespace.

			'''Notice:''' Editing the wiki is temporarily not available, until we update legal policies, disclaimers and a number of articles. This has become necessary as some had expressed concerns about various contents, and unlimited public access without possibly necessary limitation and disclaimers. Jake, who created all of the endmyopia resources had been entirely uninvolved in wiki moderation, which has since caused some issues.

			Luckily we've been able to clear the hurdle of being able to have the wiki online. It'll take some time to get all wiki contents and details in line with updated policies, at which time we hope to be able to re-enable editing. ❤️

	The wiki runs on [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki], the same wiki software that powers Wikipedia and probably every other wiki you've come across on the internet. As a result, '''countless other people have written guides far better than we could ever hope to write about how to contribute to the wiki'''. So, no point in reinventing the wheel with this one.

			=====Repeating references=====
			It is possible to reference the same document several times from within an article. On the first one, give the reference a tag : <nowiki><ref name="habits">citation here</ref></nowiki>. Then subsequent mentions can simply use the tag with an empty body : <nowiki><ref name="habits"></ref></nowiki> or xml shorthand <nowiki><ref name=habits" /></nowiki>
