This page contains generally useful information on using Media Wiki.

1. How do I edit the sidebar to (for example) add and remove links? See [1]. You have to be a wiki system admin.
2. How do I add a new link? First create an account. Then edit any page and click the "Internal Link" icon on the editor. This creates an empty link. Save the page, click the empty link, and edit it to add your content.
3. How do I enable uploads? See [2].
4. Is there a guideline for wiki formatting? See [3].
5. Can't I just use HTML? Yes, usually. But the wiki formatting tricks are addictive.
6. How can I easily format a long XML file listing? Use the <pre></pre> tags.
