- Help:Editing - A list of some the basic formatting and editing symbols used by MediaWiki.
- MediaWiki Help:Contents - MediaWiki's own help contents (more indepth than our local resources).

Discussing a Wiki Page
A wiki page has a matching "Talk" page, which you get to by clicking on the "discussion" tab. Add a ":" before your response and end with, in double brackets, User, a colon, your wiki user name, the pipe symbol "|" and how you want your name to appear, to sign your response. You should also add the date and time. Like this:
: blah, blah, blah - [[User:RichardLeis|Richard Leis]] on 11/25/2008 at 6:36 PM Arizona Time.

Categorize Your Pages
Please categorize your pages using:
[[Category:Category name]]
For example, we currently have "People", "Events", and "Leadership" categories. Try to use existing categories. If you need a new category, try to get some consensus first before creating it.
