Line 5:

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.

Please try to keep in mind the specifics of how contribution will work here. None of the policies of Wikipedia or any other wiki applies here ~~obviously~~, we have our own policy articles. We are not written from a neutral point of view, referencing guidelines are fairly relaxed and humour is encouraged in articles wherever possible for entertainment value to the reader. But as for syntax and the technicalities of editing, you can't get much better than what's already written.

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. Bear that in mind if something doesn't work properly :)
